How to Copy Attributes/Categories Between WooCommerce Products in Bulk

Manually copying field values between products in WooCommerce, like product attributes, categories, tags, prices, stock quantities, or descriptions, can be time-consuming and repetitive, especially when you need to apply the same value across multiple products.

With Smart Manager, you can use Bulk Edit to copy product attributes, categories, or any other field value from one product to another, all in just a few clicks.

Steps to Copy Attributes/Categories Between WooCommerce Products Using Bulk Edit in Smart Manager

1. Go to the Smart Manager dashboard. Using the top navigation bar, search for and select Products dashboard from the dropdown menu.
2. Select as many records as you want. You can also apply search filters to filter records and select some records from it to perform the Bulk Edit operation. To Bulk Edit all records, tick the header checkbox.
3. Click on the Bulk Edit button. It will open up a slide-over panel.
4. In the Bulk Edit panel,
   • From the Field dropdown, select which field you want to copy (e.g., Attributes, Categories, Tags, Price, Stock Status, etc.)
   • From the Action dropdown, select Copy From
   • From the Value dropdown, select the product you want to copy the attribute/category value from.



5. Click on the Update button. It’ll show you two options to choose:
   • Now: To make the changes in bulk instantly.
   • Schedule for later: To schedule the Bulk Edit operation for your desired date and time.
6. Once you’ve selected the desired option from the previous step, click ‘Ok’ to start the Bulk Edit process.

That’s it. Happy managing!

Note(s):

1. Just like product attributes and categories, you can copy any field value across products, including prices, tags, descriptions, stock quantities, images, and more by following the same steps.
2. The ‘Copy From’ action is also available in other post type dashboards (like Posts, Pages, Orders, Coupons, etc.), allowing you to copy field values for any post type.
3. Bulk Edit functionality is available only in the Pro version.
