WooCommerce IceCat Connector Documentation
Import product descriptions, images, and technical specifications straight from the Icecat catalog into your WooCommerce store — one product at a time or thousands via CSV.
Why IceCat Connector?
Writing product content by hand is slow, and copying it from manufacturer sites is slower. The WooCommerce IceCat Connector plugs your store into Icecat, the world's largest open product catalog, so a single ID, GTIN, or brand + product code pulls in the full title, descriptions, image gallery, and complete technical specification sheet — ready to sell.
Guided Setup Wizard
Go from a fresh install to a verified Icecat connection in four guided steps — welcome, account, import preferences, and a configuration summary.
Learn moreVerified Icecat Account
Connect a free Open Icecat username — or add your Full Icecat App Key — and the plugin verifies it against the live Icecat API before any import runs.
Learn moreSearch & Import Products
Find any catalog product by Icecat ID, GTIN, or Product Code & Brand, review the fetched data, and create it as a WooCommerce product in one click.
Learn moreBulk CSV Import
Upload a CSV of Icecat IDs, GTINs, or product codes and let the connector import everything in the background, with a live progress bar and a failed-items report.
Learn moreBackground Image & Attribute Sync
Import galleries and specification attributes in the background so product creation stays fast — or switch to inline import when you want everything at once.
Learn moreCategory Mapping
Assign imported products to their original Icecat category automatically, or pick your own WooCommerce categories per import — your store, your taxonomy.
Learn moreOne-Click Refresh
Re-pull the latest catalog data for a single product from its edit page, for a selection via bulk update, or for the whole store with Refresh All Products.
Learn moreManage Imported Products
A dedicated list of every Icecat import — with search, bulk publish, trash, delete, and update actions, plus a direct link back to each product's Icecat page.
Learn moreEnrich Existing Products
Already have simple products in your store? Link them to an Icecat ID from the product edit page and replace their details with rich catalog data.
