I would like to know: I have an Excel file with products that I want to import into WooCommerce, and the file contains image URLs.

 

Is it possible to import the products using WP All Import, but keep the images completely outside of the website media library, so that all products display the images directly from the external URLs in the Excel file instead of uploading them to the site\\\’s media library?

Hi Yaron,

Just to double check, you mention "WP ALL Import", this is not the support section for that plugin.

Using remote urls in woocommerce is possible but requires a plugin on the public facing side to allow the display of remote images, then once that is in place it would be a case of importing to the new remote image fields.
