Today, we are going to learn about adding more information to products in WooCommerce programmatically. This is a beginner guide, so feel free to use the code on your own websites and modify it as you like. If you plan on executing this code on a live website, we strongly suggest speaking with a professional developer. To add more product information in WooCommerce programmatically, copy and post the following code:
update_post_meta( $productId, '_visibility', 'visible' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_stock_status', 'instock');
update_post_meta( $productId, 'total_sales', '0' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sale_price', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_purchase_note', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_product_attributes', array() );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sale_price_dates_from', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sale_price_dates_to', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_price', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sold_individually', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_manage_stock', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_backorders', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_featured', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_weight', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_length', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_width', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_height', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sku', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_downloadable', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_virtual', 'yes' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_regular_price', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_stock_status', 'instock');
update_post_meta( $productId, 'total_sales', '0' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sale_price', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_purchase_note', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_product_attributes', array() );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sale_price_dates_from', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sale_price_dates_to', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_price', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sold_individually', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_manage_stock', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_backorders', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_featured', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_weight', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_length', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_width', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_height', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_sku', '' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_downloadable', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_virtual', 'yes' );
update_post_meta( $productId, '_regular_price', '' );
If everything goes right, a new product should appear on the product listing page in the WooCommerce dashboard.
