Custom attributes

The custom attributes can be imported along with WooCommerce Variations.

  • Multiple values for each attribute are separated by pipeline (|) and attributes are separated by comma (,)
  • Eg: Attribute1|value1, Attribute2|value1

  • In the product data meta box, go and click the Shipping tab.
  • Choose any one class from the dropdown of the Shipping class field.

To import shipping classes to bulk products,
