Move a WooCommerce catalog to CordeliaApps
Export your products from WooCommerce and import the file as-is — variable products become variants, category paths a category tree, sale prices the selling price; nothing is written until you've seen the plan.
WooCommerce's built-in export is the one file most WordPress stores already know how to make. Import it unchanged.
Export from WooCommerce
WordPress admin → Products → Export → leave all columns and all
product types selected → Generate CSV. You'll get wc-product-export-….csv.
Import it
The importer detects the format from the file's header row, so leaving the console's picker on Detect from the file (or saying nothing to the assistant) is enough.
Either:
- In the console — Products → Import, set File format to WooCommerce products export, choose the file. You'll see the plan before anything is written.
- Through an AI assistant — attach the file and say "import this WooCommerce export into <store>".
Both go through the same importer, with the same rules.
What maps to what
| WooCommerce | CordeliaApps |
|---|---|
| SKU (or ID) | external_id — re-importing updates instead of duplicating |
| Name, Description / Short description | Name, description (HTML stripped) |
Categories (Clothing > Tshirts) | A category tree — each level created under its parent if missing; the product goes in the leaf |
| Tags | Optionally categories too |
| Brands (if your store has the Brands column) | Brand — created if missing |
| Regular price / Sale price | Sale price is what's charged, regular becomes the struck-through price |
| Stock / In stock? | Stock. A product marked in stock with no count gets 999 and is flagged — set the real number |
| Images (comma-separated) | The product's gallery, first image on the card |
variable product + its variation rows | A product with options. Each attribute becomes an option axis; an attribute left blank ("Any") on every variation is dropped |
| Attributes on a simple product (Color: Blue) | The product's details list |
What's skipped, and told to you
- Drafts and private products (
Published0 / -1). - Grouped and external/affiliate products — the store doesn't sell those itself.
- Virtual / downloadable products — the storefront delivers physical goods.
- Products whose name or description names an alcohol or tobacco product.
Every skip is listed with the line number in the plan.
Not carried over
Shipping dimensions and classes, tax settings, upsells/cross-sells, reviews settings, purchase notes, downloads. Orders and customers are never imported.
