Supplier feeds
Import WooCommerce supplier feeds on a schedule
Point a Pro job at your supplier’s URL, FTP or SFTP file, set how often it runs, and the plugin imports it in the background. Prices and stock stay current without anyone opening the dashboard.

Tips that save a failed run
- Set up a real server cron. Without one, jobs wait for a visitor
- Import the data without images first if the feed is large
- Save a column mapping template so the feed always maps the same way
- Use the history log to see which rows failed and why
Faq
Supplier feed questions
-
Which sources can a scheduled job read?
A URL, FTP, FTPS or SFTP location, or a Google Sheet shared by link. Saved credentials are encrypted and a fresh file is fetched on every run.
-
My scheduled job never runs. Why?
WordPress cron only fires on site visits. Add a real server cron in your hosting panel so the job runs on time.
-
Do scheduled jobs run if I close the browser?
Yes. Pro runs imports in the background. Follow progress in the History tab.
-
Is this in the free plugins?
No. Scheduling, remote sources and background import are Pro features.
