## Descripción

Seganiko Fast Import for WooCommerce is a lightweight tool for importing and updating
WooCommerce products from XLSX or CSV files. Designed for store managers who need
to update large catalogs quickly and reliably.

**Key features:**

 * Import products from XLSX or CSV (UTF-8)
 * Supported fields: name, SKU, price, weight, description, images, categories, 
   and custom meta fields
 * SKU-based update — existing products are updated, no duplicates created
 * Batch processing (up to 400 rows per batch) with real-time AJAX progress bar
 * Support for simple products, variable products, and variations
 * Custom meta fields — both flat values and array (serialized) format
 * Bulk media loader — import images from external URLs or upload a ZIP archive
 * Video support in the media loader — mp4, webm, mov and other formats; video is
   attached per product SKU
 * Optional bulk image optimization (ShortPixel integration)
 * Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables)

**Requirements:**

 * WooCommerce 9.3.3 or later
 * WordPress 6.2 or later
 * PHP 8.0 or later
 * PHP ZipArchive extension (required for XLSX import)

### Usage

**Prepare your file:**

Supported formats: XLSX and CSV (UTF-8 encoding).

**Required column:**

 * `sku` — used to match existing products; if a product with this SKU exists it
   is updated, otherwise a new product is created

**Optional columns:**

 * `name` — product title
 * `price` — regular price (numeric)
 * `weight` — weight in kg (numeric)
 * `description` — product description (HTML allowed)
 * `images` — one or more image URLs separated by a pipe `|` (first image becomes
   the featured image)
 * `categories` — category names separated by `/` (hierarchy) or `,` (multiple categories)
 * Any extra column is saved as a product meta field under the column name

**Import flow:**

 1. Upload the XLSX/CSV file on the Import tab
 2. Review column mapping on the Mapping tab if needed
 3. Click **Start Import** — the batch runner processes rows in groups of 400 and shows
    progress in real time
 4. When finished, a summary shows how many products were created, updated, and skipped

**Media Loader tab:**

 * Paste product SKUs with their image/video URLs to bulk-attach media
 * Or upload a ZIP archive — the loader matches files inside to products by SKU
 * Video files (mp4, webm, mov, etc.) are attached to the product gallery per SKU/
   filename

**Logs:**

Import logs are saved to `/wp-content/uploads/seganiko-fiw-logs/` and are also shown
in the admin UI. Each log entry records the SKU, action (created/updated/skipped/
error), and a short message.

### External services

This plugin optionally connects to the ShortPixel Image Optimizer API to compress
and optimize product images during the bulk media import process.

**Service:** [ShortPixel](https://shortpixel.com/) — an image optimization and compression
service.

**What it is used for:** When the user enables the “Optimize images with ShortPixel”
option in the Media Loader settings and provides a valid ShortPixel API key, uploaded
product images are sent to ShortPixel for lossy or lossless compression before being
stored in the WordPress media library.

**What data is sent:** The plugin sends the publicly accessible URL of each uploaded
image along with the user’s ShortPixel API key and optimization preferences (compression
type, EXIF handling). No personal user data is transmitted.

**When data is sent:** Data is sent only when the site administrator has explicitly
enabled ShortPixel optimization in the Media Loader settings tab and triggers a 
bulk media import. No data is sent if the feature is not enabled.

**Service endpoint:** `https://api.shortpixel.com/v2/reducer.php`

 2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen
 3. Go to **WooCommerce > Fast Import** to start importing

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Which file formats are supported?

XLSX and CSV (UTF-8). For XLSX the PHP ZipArchive extension must be enabled on your
server.

### What happens if a product with the same SKU already exists?

It is updated — name, price, weight, description, and any other mapped fields are
overwritten. Images are only updated if the `images` column is present and non-empty.

### How are images imported?

Put one or more image URLs in the `images` column separated by `|`. The importer
downloads each image, stores it in the WordPress media library, and attaches it 
to the product. The first URL becomes the featured image.

### Are video files supported?

Yes, through the Media Loader tab. Upload a ZIP archive or provide URLs to video
files (mp4, webm, mov, etc.). The loader attaches videos to products by matching
the SKU found in the filename.

### Can I import variable products?

Yes. Set the `type` column to `variable` for the parent and `variation` for each
child row, and include a `parent_sku` column in variation rows pointing to the parent
SKU.

### Can I change the batch size?

The default is 400 rows per AJAX batch. This is configurable via the `SEGANIKO_FIW_CFG.
batch_limit` JavaScript constant (adjustable in the Media Loader settings tab).

### What permissions are required?

The plugin requires the `manage_woocommerce` capability. Only users with this role(
typically Shop Manager or Administrator) can access the importer.
