Upload products to WooCommerce
Overview
Find out how to upload products to WooCommerce.
Products are the goods your business buys or manufactures and sells.
And as your business depends on a changing market, what products you sell depends on changing suppliers, customers, and business opportunities. Over time you’ll add new products to your Omni inventory and want them available for sale in WooCommerce.
You can upload new products to WooCommerce and have them automatically created and mapped to Omni. When you upload a product, its options are uploaded (as WooCommerce variations) and mapped too. Units of measure (UOM) are not uploaded (find out how to map units of measure to WooCommerce).
Before uploading and mapping products, you must configure your WooCommerce integration and products. If the product already exists in WooCommerce, download the product or create a mapping instead.
Configure upload products
1. Configure integration
Enable your WooCommerce integration to upload products:
Log in to Cin7 Omni.
From the Integrations menu in the navigation, open your WooCommerce integration.
Open Settings.
Turn on Products.
-
Under Products:
Select Upload Products.
Choose a Price Tier – each product's price at this price tier becomes the Regular Price of the product in WooCommerce (find out more about prices).
Choose a Special Price tier – if the product’s Special$ is active, each product's price at this price tier becomes the Sale Price of the product in WooCommerce (find out more about prices).
Select Save Settings.
2. Configure products
Add the products to upload to the WooCommerce Channel:
From the navigation, open Products.
Open the product to upload to WooCommerce.
Under Classifications > Channels, select your WooCommerce integration.
Select Save and Close.
If your product has options you want to upload (as WooCommerce variations), confirm each option has a value for each relevant Option Label, and that each relevant Option Label has a name. Find out more about creating products with options.
Upload products
Once you’ve finished configuration (above), you can upload your products to WooCommerce:
Log in to Cin7 Omni.
From the Integrations menu in the navigation, open your WooCommerce integration.
-
Select Upload Products from the Product Status tile. You'll see a list of Cin7 Omni products that aren't mapped to WooCommerce products.
Don't upload unmapped products that already exist in WooCommerce. If you do, you’ll be duplicating the product in WooCommerce. Instead, create a mapping for that product.
To upload only a subset of unmapped products, use the search box to filter the list. Only products in the filtered list are uploaded.
Select Upload Products.
Here’s how each product’s details are mapped to the new WooCommerce product (any unlisted WooCommerce details will be set to defaults, and must be customized manually):
Product-level details
When you upload a product, its product-level details are uploaded to a new WooCommerce product as follows (see below for what details can be overridden by option-level details):
Cin7 Omni product |
WooCommerce product |
Product Name |
Product Name |
Description (only available if Show Website Options is enabled in your product settings) |
Product Description |
|
Dimensions >
(Only available if Show Website Options is enabled in your product settings. Note that, if available, the Weight of the default option is used instead.) |

SKU |
Option-level details
When you upload a product with no Option Labels and no Option Label values (that is, a product with only the default option), a new WooCommerce simple product is created (that is, a product without variations).
The default option’s details are uploaded to the WooCommerce product as follows:
Cin7 Omni option |
WooCommerce product |
Weight |
Weight |
Pricing (find out more about how prices upload to WooCommerce) |
|
Stock level (find out how stock levels are calculated for WooCommerce) |
Quantity |
And when you upload a product with more than the default product option, a new WooCommerce variable product is created with a variation for each option.
In order to create the WooCommerce product’s variations, the Omni product’s Option Labels become the Names of the WooCommerce product’s attributes, and the Option Label values become the Values of the WooCommerce product’s attributes.
The options’ details are uploaded to the WooCommerce variations as follows:
Cin7 Omni option |
WooCommerce variation |
Code |
SKU |
Weight |

FAQs
Can I upload changes to products in Omni to the mapped WooCommerce products?
No, you can’t upload changes to Omni products to WooCommerce products. You must manually apply those changes in WooCommerce.
