Hi @loralora, we presume you are using some default export-import flow of woocommerce i.e. https://woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/
Now, do you want to add those vendor name meta via CSV?

Hello,
Yes, you understood correctly, I am using exactly this export / import of goods, and I am asking you for a meta name that will help you assign a vendor in CSV.
Previously, the team gave me meta names for other fields, and it works great.
product commission meta - _commission_per_product
shipping policy meta – _wcmp_shipping_policy
refund policy meta – _wcmp_refund_policy
cancallation policy – _wcmp_cancallation_policy
Yes! How to add those vendor name meta via CSV
@loralora, we will definitely assist you with this.
Kindly provide us sometime.
I have consulted with the dev team.
Please note, that the vendor of the product is not saved in any post meta. When we assign vendor with a product, they are saved in the term table and also as the post author. That’s why the product vendor can’t be saved using meta via CSV.
If you want to save the product vendor then you have to do a good amount of custom code by adding a new structure where you will save the vendor as meta.
Do you have a developer, because it requires huge custom code?
Just to keep you posted, for now, you can use the WooCommerce Bulk Edit product option to assign a vendor with selected products.

Hello, I understand.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a developer…
1. Please advise me a bulk product editing plugin that is compatible with the multi-vendor plugin?
It’s a pity that for one action you need to install a new plugin….
2. Is there any plan to solve this issue in the future?
@loralora, as much as we want to help you out, but current flow doesn’t support of assigning vendors via CSV.
I have forwarded this enhancement request to our developer team. You can track the progress of this request here https://github.com/wcmarketplace/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/issues/1082
FYI, as a vendor, you can also import your product via csv using our addon WCMp Advanced frontend Manager (https://wc-marketplace.com/product/wcmp-frontend-manager/). Here is the doc to assist you on this : https://wc-marketplace.com/knowledgebase/wcmp-vendor-product-import-export/

Hello,
Thanks for the feature request, that would be great!
I will definitely install a manager for the product – as far as I understand, it uses the same meta when importing. But I have a question: if I import goods through CSV, does this mean that the name of the vendor will be entered automatically?
Thank you for your wonderful support, it really means a lot.
When the vendor imports thee product usig csv, as they are the author of those products.
