Product Import Export for WooCommerce - CSV Tool by PlusCodes

PlusCodes offers several features that WebToffee locks behind its premium tier — all for free. These include: full variable product CSV import export, custom batch size control, export by specific product IDs, a custom export filename field, and a custom CSV delimiter. PlusCodes is also built exclusively on WooCommerce's native CSV engine with zero third-party dependencies, giving you better performance and compatibility.

Unlike All-in-One Import Export plugins that try to do everything (products, orders, users, coupons) in one bloated interface, PlusCodes focuses 100% on WooCommerce product import and product export. This means a cleaner UI, faster processing, and a smaller plugin footprint with no unused code weighing down your store.

Yes — 100%. PlusCodes supports complete variable product import and product export in the free version, including all variation data (SKU, price, sale price, stock, weight, dimensions, and attributes). Competitors like WebToffee restrict variable product support to their paid plans.

Go to Import / Export → Import in your WordPress admin. Upload your CSV file, use auto-map to match columns automatically (or map them manually), then click Run Import. The plugin processes your file in batches, shows real-time progress, and updates your store without timeouts.

Go to Import / Export → Export. Optionally filter by product type, category, stock status, or enter specific product IDs. Set a custom filename and click Export. Your CSV will download immediately, ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice.

Yes. Enable Update existing products before running your product import. The plugin matches incoming rows by SKU or product ID and updates the existing records — no duplicates are created.

Yes. Featured images and all gallery images are supported in both product import and product export. For imports, provide the full URL to each image in your CSV and the plugin will fetch and attach them automatically.

The free version supports CSV import export for Simple, Variable, Grouped, and External/Affiliate products. For Subscription products or other custom product types, see the Pro version.

Yes. Enter a comma-separated list of product IDs in the Export by IDs field to include only those products in your product export — a free feature that competitors charge extra for.

Yes. PlusCodes includes a Custom Filename field on the export screen so you can name your file before downloading. This keeps your exports organised and is unique to PlusCodes in the free tier.

For large stores, you can control how many products are processed per batch during a product import or product export. This prevents server timeouts on shared hosting and is configurable for free — competitors typically charge for this.

You can choose comma (,), semicolon (;), tab (\t), or pipe (|) as the CSV delimiter — useful when your spreadsheet software exports in a non-default format.

Yes. PlusCodes is fully declared compatible with WooCommerce's High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / custom order tables).

No. PlusCodes is built on WooCommerce's own native CSV engine and adds no third-party scripts or libraries. The footprint is minimal and it only runs when you actively use the Import/Export dashboard.

We recommend Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, or Microsoft Excel (O365) for editing exported CSV files, as these tools handle UTF-8 encoding correctly and preserve data integrity for your next product import.

Yes. PlusCodes is actively maintained and tested with the latest versions of WooCommerce (up to 9.x) and WordPress (up to 7.0).
