Is there a simpler way of uploading images onto woocommerce website

thanks

There are premium plugins you can get to bulk upload products.

What exactly is the difficulty?

Thank you so much my friend. Could you kindly provide me the name of the plug in please

But the images all need to be online somewhere, you can’t import directly from your pc.

Or this might be a better option:

Every week the images will be different as I deal in confectionery. Some images may not be on the net for download purposes.

So you would take images, upload them to wherever then link them to the site?

That’s correct, rather than manually upload the images onto my website I would prefer the images uploaded instantly after the relevant information has been assigned

You can't use someone else's images without permission.

When the product arrives in your warehouse take your own pictures.

That’s what we will do, which of the two links would you suggest and for the purpose of concentrating on the online side of the business would you consider outsourcing the upload of the images ?

Depends on the product range.

If you have variants you need to pay for the upload suite. If not then the built in uploader will suffice.

Set up a folder on your server and upload the images using FTP or SVN. If the image names are the same as your SKU linking everything together becomes easy.

Thank you for very much. I’ll be honest the last paragraph doesn’t make sense to me as I am not versed in this area. I’ll refer to my web creator.

There are many plugins to upload images in the WooCommerce, but "WooCommerce Addon Uploads" "WooCommerce Upload My File" is the best.

Is there a limit to how many products can be uploaded at any given time

Neither of those plugins are any use to you. They are for customers to upload images so you can make custom products.

If you want t bulk upload images to your site they have to reside on a server somewhere.

There are loads of ways to do this. Once you have it all set up you can almost automate everything.

Thank you so much for you sound advice. Is it straight forward to set up ?

Sort of...

You need to take time setting up the image filenames so that when you bulk upload the images to the server they all align to the image URL in the woo upload CSV.

I used the SKU for both, that way I could automate a lot of the CSV creation (it filled in the image URL for me).

A lot depends on how many products and how often you plan to upload.

Are there variants for the products? For example: boxes of 10, 20, 50. There would be variants of the same product.

On average I’ll be uploading 80 different products weekly. Upload will be done twice a week. Every week product image and details will be changing. Would the above approach for my business needs
