PIMPORT imports supplier feeds into WooCommerce as simple products and updates the agreed fields on a schedule. You select and map the categories and set your pricing rules. We check your store version, the source data and the product types before connecting. Variable, grouped and external products need a separate assessment.
WordPress 5.6+ · WooCommerce 3.6+ · a driver for this platform is written and in use
Import and updates in WooCommerce
See a source being connected, products imported and the catalogue updated.
Not through an import file: the program writes products, categories, prices and stock straight into the store database, the same way the admin panel does.
Keeps prices current
On the schedule you set. The supplier changed a price — the store changed it too, without anyone opening the admin panel.
Hides what is gone
An item that disappeared from the supplier feed is hidden, not deleted: the card, its address and its statistics wait for it to come back.
Adds new items
Into the category you mapped. Categories the supplier added later wait for your confirmation.
Integration notes
The current integration creates simple products. It does not create variable, grouped or external ones.
A different engine version is not a dead end: the driver is adapted to it. Send your store version — we confirm what works before any payment.

Questions about this integration
What reaches your store
You choose the supplier categories, map them to your store and set your pricing rules. PIMPORT applies these settings when importing products and running subsequent updates.
Product typeA simple product
SKUBuilt from the supplier prefix and a stable product identifier; the product is found by it
Title and textsFull and short description; fields you edit by hand are protected by update rules
PriceRegular, sale and effective price are kept consistent with each other
AvailabilityThe stock status WooCommerce itself uses
QuantityWith stock management on — the quantity from the settings or zero; it is not a copy of the supplier count
CategoryThe product category you mapped
AttributesGlobal or per-product attributes. Attributes are not product variations
ImagesThe featured image and the gallery, in a folder of their own
Fields of a standard WooCommerce installation. SEO fields are written only when the matching SEO plugin is present.
How an existing product is found
The product is found by the store SKU, built from the supplier prefix and a stable product identifier. Keep both unchanged between runs, otherwise the same product can arrive as a new card. We check the mapping to an existing catalogue before agreeing the setup.
The quantity assigned to an available product comes from the connection settings; it is not the supplier’s exact stock count. Send a sample feed if you need per-product quantity synchronisation.
How a supplier is connected
We answer within one business day. Reviewing a feed does not commit you to a purchase.

Your store URL, the platform, and a link to the feed or the supplier website.

What is needed
Access to hosting and databaseFTP or SSH and the store database. The program is installed next to the store, on your own hosting.
A supplier feedXML, YML, CSV or Excel. If there is no feed at all, data is collected from the supplier site — that costs more.
One cron jobSet up as part of the installation. Ordinary shared hosting is enough.
Installation on your hosting, the update schedule set up, the free plugins and a month of support.
Includes connecting one supplier in XML, YML or CSV.
Connecting suppliers
XML, YML, CSV from $35Each supplier after the one included in the program.
Excel from $70XLS and XLSX workbooks. Sheets, merged cells and captions instead of headers are unpicked separately.
Data from a site with no feed from $150There is no feed at all: the data is collected from the pages of the supplier catalogue.
Unusual structure quoted after reviewWe'll quote the cost after reviewing the source and before any work starts.
Plugins: the cost is shown in the catalogue entry for each plugin. Paid plugins are a one-time payment.

An example for a supplier in XML, YML or CSV. For Excel and sources without a feed we'll quote after reviewing them.
Monitoring — optional
If you need changes in your sources watched, add monitoring. Its terms and cost are stated separately from the program and the one-time installation.
What is checkedA nightly check of the source: whether the feed is reachable and whether its structure changed.
Which sourcesSuppliers connected to the program, including those whose data is collected from a website.
What is includedRepairing the collection rules when the supplier site changes. Rebuilding for a new feed format is quoted separately.
Cost$3 a month per supplier, or $15 a month per store with all its suppliers.
Connecting through the wizard$15 one-time, the first month of monitoring included. This is another way to connect a source, not an addition to the regular connection.
After you switch it offThe rules stay with you and the import does not stop.
Monitoring is not required for the program to work, and it does not automatically fix every change in a source structure.
