If you don’t have any products when starting a new shop, it looks awful and confusing.
Yes, you need some dummy products to understand how it will look like. How to get them?
WooCommerce built-in features
a. Following the WooCommerce Wizard on a fresh installation, you can find the built-in feature: Import Demo Products with the Setup Wizard.
I found Woo Documentation a little bit unclear: the WooCommerce comes with different types of sample product files (csv, xml), but how can I add one of them in my newly WooCommerce store?
First, I downloaded the WooCoommerce plugin on my computer, unzipped it, and wonder how to import one of these files. No hint.
I run Setup Wizard – Personalize your store tab,
and hit the button Import Demo Products
Waiting a few seconds and… voila! 18 products were added to the new shop. Now it can be more appealing working on it.
The Demo Products come with a few meta data for each product: Attribute, Product Category and Regular price, Product description.
This method using setup Wizard is available just on a fresh and empty WooCommerce installation.
b. Import new products using Import Tool
You can use this tool on a fresh installation and when you already have a few products as well. Using this method you can choose what fields to import from CSV file.
