Hey there!
The built in product exporter should export all default WooCommerce product meta, but no custom product meta.
If you are using the built in attributes, that should work, but if you added in meta from something else, it will not work.
Can you elaborate how you have yours set up?
Hi there,
We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

Hi there,
I have reopened the thread for you, could you answer the question in the previous reply?
Can you elaborate how you have yours set up?
Hi,
I have added these custom fields per product. I need these attributes, like “artist”, to be different per product, not the standard attribute that woocommerce offers. The later does export but only works with fixed values. For instance if it would only 1 or two artists it would be fine, but every product is by a different one. Thats why I made them custom.
The problem that I have when I export them, I do get and CSV file with everything in it, but when I change values and try to import (for instance via ExtendWP plug-in), all my products are duplicated.
I hope this makes sense?
best,
Niek
Hi @vintageartclub. The built-in import/export tools in WooCommerce do not support importing custom fields. One option that we support is to use Product CSV Import Suite.
When you import products with a csv file in WooCommerce, you can check the box to “Update existing products”. The product id or SKU in the file has to match the values in your WooCommerce store for the updates to occur.
I hope that clarifies things.
