Integration with Woo’s CSV Import Suite

Adding rules on a per-product basis using Woo’s CSV Import Suite is as simple as adding a few additional meta values to your import file. When exporting data be sure to ‘include hidden meta data’ or these meta values won’t appear.

Override Rules ‘meta:_wpbo_override’ ‘on’ will override rules with your per-product meta values otherwise leave this value empty
Minimum Quantity ‘meta:_wpbo_minimum’ Any positive integer
Maximum Quantity ‘meta:_wpbo_maximum’ Any positive integer
Minimum Quantity (Out of Stock) ‘meta:_wpbo_minimum_oos’ Any positive integer
Maximum Quantity (Out of Stock) ‘meta:_wpbo_maximum_oos’ Any positive integer
