以编程方式批量创建 WooCommerce 产品

Question

It is possible to bulk create products on WooCommerce? I am using the wp-cli Product command but it seems that I have to create one by one.

<?php

$products = array(
    array('title' => 'My product 1'),
    array('title' => 'My product 2'),
    // ...
    // 10.000 more products
);

foreach ($products as $product) {
    $cliProduct = new WC_CLI_Product();
    $cliProduct->create(array(), $product);
    WP_CLI::success("Added Product #{$product['title']}");
}

This takes a lot of time since it is going to make a query for each product, even worse, it is going to be a cron job that will be run regularly. I also have to check if the product exist, in that case, update it instead of create a new product.

So the number of queries will be multiplied by 2.

Product Exists? Update it, else Create it

Is there a better way to do this? Maybe I should query the database directly, but it looks dirty.

Is there any WP function to query the database without having to create my own DB connection?

Assuming you have an array like this and you have Unique SKU to identify product.

$products = [
    0 => [
        'title' => 'My Simple product 1',
        'sku' => 'sku1',
        'product_cat' => 'My cat'
    //...
    //...
    ],
    1 => [
        'title' => 'My Simple product 1',
        'sku' => 'sku1'
    //...
    //...
    ]
];

Pass the above array through myCustomProduct() method.

function myCustomProduct($product_array)
{
    if (!empty($product_array)):
        foreach ($product_array as $product):
            $product_id = wc_get_product_id_by_sku($product['sku']);
            //no product exist with the given SKU so create one
            if (!$product_id):
                $post = [
                    'post_author' => '',
                    'post_content' => $product['content'],
                    'post_status' => "publish",
                    'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags($product['title']),
                    'post_name' => $product['title'],
                    'post_parent' => '',
                    'post_type' => "product",
                ];
                //Create Post
                $product_id = wp_insert_post($post, $wp_error);

                //set Product Category
                wp_set_object_terms($product_id, $product['product_cat'], 'product_cat');

                //set product type
                wp_set_object_terms($product_id, 'simple', 'product_type');

                update_post_meta($product_id, '_sku', $product['sku']);
                update_post_meta($product_id, 'total_sales', '0');

            //product found
            else:
                $post = [
                    'ID' => $product_id,
                    'post_title' => $product['title'],
                    'post_content' => $product['content'],
                ];
                $post_id = wp_update_post($post, true);
//              if (is_wp_error($post_id))
//              {
//                  $errors = $post_id->get_error_messages();
//                  foreach ($errors as $error)
//                  {
//                      echo $error;
//                  }
//              }
            endif;

            update_post_meta($product_id, '_visibility', 'visible');
            update_post_meta($product_id, '_stock_status', 'instock');
            update_post_meta($product_id, '_product_attributes', array());
            update_post_meta($product_id, '_manage_stock', "yes");
            update_post_meta($product_id, '_backorders', "no");
            update_post_meta($product_id, '_stock', $product['qty']);
            update_post_meta($product_id, '_price', $product['price']);
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_downloadable', 'yes');
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_virtual', 'yes');
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_regular_price', "1");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_sale_price', "1");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_purchase_note', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_featured', "no");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_weight', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_length', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_width', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_height', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_sale_price_dates_from', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_sale_price_dates_to', "");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_price', "1");
            //update_post_meta($product_id, '_sold_individually', "");
        endforeach;
    endif;
}

This'll give you a brief idea as how to create/update product; if you need any further assistance then you have to share your 4-5 array elements, so that I can get to know what type of product you want to create and what field/meta it will be having.

Hope this helps!
