Step 1: View all Square products #

To begin importing your Square products, navigate to SquareSync for Woo’s “Products” page. This page displays all available products on your Square account, providing a comprehensive overview. Here, you have the flexibility to choose whether to import all products or only a select few of your choice. The user-friendly interface allows you to easily browse through your inventory, ensuring you make informed decisions about which products to sync.

Step 2: Selecting products to import #

Select the products you wish to import using the checkboxes on the right side of the table. For a more streamlined process, you can select all products by using the checkbox in the table header. This bulk selection feature is particularly useful for larger inventories. Once you’ve made your selection, click the “Import All” button. This action will present you with various import options, enabling you to customize the data transfer to suit your needs.

Step 3: Selecting your import data #

In this step, you can specify which data attributes you want to import. Available options include:

  • Title: The name of the product.
  • SKU: The stock keeping unit, which is essential for inventory management.
  • Price: The cost of the product, allowing for consistent pricing across platforms.
  • Description: Detailed information about the product to enhance its online listing.
  • Image: Visual representation of the product, crucial for attracting customers.
  • Categories: Organizational tags to help in sorting and managing products.
  • Stock: Current inventory levels to maintain accurate stock records.

This level of customization ensures that your imported data is accurate and relevant, aligning with your e-commerce strategy.

Understanding the batch setting #

The batch setting is a critical feature designed to enhance the reliability of the import process. If your server is slower, it is recommended to lower the number of products to import per batch. This adjustment helps prevent timeouts and ensures a smooth import process. By optimizing batch settings, you can manage server load effectively, ensuring that your imports are successful and efficient.

Step 4: Run the import #

After configuring your settings and selecting the desired data to import, the final step is to run the import process. Click the “Run Import” button to initiate the import. It is crucial to stay on the page during the import process; navigating away will cancel the import. As the import progresses, you will see real-time updates on the status, including any errors or issues that may arise. Once the import is complete, all results will be displayed, confirming the successful transfer of your products into WooCommerce. This final step ensures that your products are now available for sale on your WooCommerce store, fully synced with your Square account.
