Unable to import Images to WooCommerce Product variations

Hi Martin,

It looks like the plugin stores gallery data in the custom field: woo_variation_gallery_images on the product variation, setting the return type to "Attachment ID - serialized".

Hi James,

thank you for your answer, but i'm not sure if i got you right. 

Does this mean, that i have to get the gallery images via the Template Field -> "custom fields" (enable Text Field) -> Name: woo_variation_gallery_fields, Value: Column with all the Image Ids, field type: Attachement, Return Value: Attachement ID - Serialized, is Featured: no, Download: Media Libary?

Hi James,

i've tried all possibilities with custom field, attachment and Attachment ID - (Serialized, Multiple Records, Single Records, single records joining ids with ",") to import the gallery images. None of this works. Same with the Attachement urls and if i use Serialized insted of attachement.

The best result is, Attachement URL – Serialized, then i get five empty placeholders for the five images i try to import, but the img src is empty.

Do you have any idea how to solve this?
I’ve wasted hours the last two days finding a solution. 

The only solution i have for the moment is to import the parent products first, then the variations, after that i switch to the standard WooCommerce importer to get the variation galleries. That is a awfull messi way to import products. 

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Martin,

Screenshot attached of the settings used.

Custom field with the name "woo_variation_gallery_images" , setting the type to "attachment", and the attachment return type to "Attachmend ID - Serialized".

Set "is featured" if you want the first image to be the featured image.

Hi James,

thank you James. That worked.

I used ids for the value field, that was the mistake.
Seemed clear for me, because the Return value is Attachment ID - serialized.

Something i learned today ;-)

Best
