This article covers how the synchronisation and importing of Products between WooCommerce and TradeGecko works for the integration.
We now Support WC3.1.x however, please ensure to create backup before upgrading as a precautionary step. Please be advised that you will need to have authentic SSL enabled on your website to ensure successful integration experience.
WooCommerce Products on TradeGecko
- A Simple Product in WooCommerce will be imported into TradeGecko as a Product with a single Variant.
- A Variable Product in WooCommerce will be imported into TradeGecko as a Single Product with multiple variants.
- Product types in WooCommerce that sync to TradeGecko: Simple, Variable, Subscription, Variable-subscription
- Product types in WooCommerce that do not sync to TradeGecko: External/Affiliate, Grouped
- TradeGecko only syncs the first three attributes of any product from WooCommerce.
Publishing Variants from TradeGecko
- Publishing a single variant from TradeGecko will create a Simple Product on WooCommerce.
- Publishing another variant of the same Product from TradeGecko will result in a conversion of the Simple WooCommerce Product to a Variable WooCommerce Product.
Images Sync
- When a Product is first created on TradeGecko, only the Primary or Default image of that Product will sync to WooCommerce due to system limitation. We recommend to handle image uploading from within WooCommerce.
- However, if we later update (add, delete, etc.) images on TradeGecko or on WooCommerce, these changes will not sync.
Deleting a product
- Deleting a product in TradeGecko results in deleting the product in WooCommerce.
- Deleting a product in WooCommerce will simply unlink the TradeGecko product, but it will still be active on TradeGecko.
Create new relationships
- Creating a relationship in WooCommerce creates a corresponding relationship in TradeGecko.

- Ensure that your WooCommerce products/variants have SKUs. If you do NOT have SKUs for your products/variants you will be unable to publish or import those products into TradeGecko.
- Do not manually update the Product Type from WooCommerce. This means changing the product type to Simple to Variable and vice versa
