WooCommerce – Bulk Assign Products to Specific Vendors

In this tutorial, we show you how to bulk assign products to specific vendors in WooCommerce. You’ll learn how to filter products by keyword, category, attribute, or tag and assign all the products to a specific vendor.

Maybe you have created a “Label” attribute, and you want to assign all the Nike shirts to a specific vendor. Whatever the situation, assigning specific products to vendors is really simple with the WP Sheet Editor – WooCommerce Products plugin.

It displays all your products in a spreadsheet where you can view and edit your products easily. You can search for products using any field and value and edit all the search results easily.

Once you install and activate the plugin, you can follow these simple steps:

1- Open the products spreadsheet

To view and manage your WooCommerce products in the spreadsheet, go to WP Sheet Editor > Edit Products. You’ll see all the products from your store displayed in an intuitive spreadsheet. Every row is a product and every column is a field.

Note. You can sort the columns as you wish using the Columns manager on the top toolbar.

2- Optional: Assign specific products to vendors in the spreadsheet

Just as you edit an Excel or Google Sheets document, you can assign products to vendors by editing the content in the Vendor column.

Here you need to enter the vendor’s username. And as soon as you start typing the vendor’s username, the plugin will suggest names from your user database.

Once you enter all the vendors, click Save to apply the changes.
