WooCommerce Amazon Plugin Import

Import by ASIN codes or CSV bulk import

3 min read August 8, 2026 Back to KB

When to use this

If you have a list of Amazon product IDs (ASINs) or a spreadsheet of products, you can import them all at once without searching or pasting individual URLs. There are two methods:

  • ASIN Codes — paste one or more ASINs directly into the import page. Requires the Creators API to be set up.
  • CSV Import — upload a CSV file containing ASINs for a batch import. Requires the Creators API to be set up.

Both ASIN and CSV import use the Amazon Creators API. Your Amazon Associates account must have valid API credentials entered under Settings → Amazon API Setting and must meet the 3 qualifying sales eligibility requirement.

How to get to the import page

  1. In the plugin top menu, click Import By PA-API 5 (the menu label; it uses the Creators API).

Or from the dashboard: Quick Actions → Import By PA-API 5.

On the page you see the Product Search & Import card with three method tabs: Keywords, ASIN Codes, and CSV Import. Click the tab for the method you want.

Import by ASIN codes

  1. Click the ASIN Codes tab.
  2. Enter one or more ASINs in the input field. An ASIN is the 10-character product identifier found in the Amazon product URL (e.g. B09XY12345). You can enter multiple ASINs — check the page for separator format (comma or newline).
  3. Click the import button to start. Each ASIN is looked up via the Creators API and imported as a WooCommerce product.

You can find the ASIN in the product URL after /dp/ — for example amazon.com/dp/B09XY12345.

Import by CSV file

  1. Click the CSV Import tab.
  2. Prepare a CSV file with a column of ASIN codes. Use the format shown on the page (the page shows a sample or help text for the expected CSV structure).
  3. Upload the CSV file using the file selector on the tab.
  4. Click the import button. The plugin reads each ASIN from the file, calls the Creators API for each one, and creates a WooCommerce product.

What happens during import

For each ASIN the plugin fetches: product title, description, price, images, category, and variations (if any). The imported product appears in WooCommerce with the AMS import method tag so it can be updated by Auto Products Update later.

If the API is not set up

If your Creators API credentials are missing or invalid, the page shows Amazon API Setup Required and a Configure API Now button. Click it to go to Settings → Amazon API Setting and enter your credentials. See the article Import with Amazon Creators API for full setup steps.

If imports fail, check Settings → View Logs for the exact error. Common causes: invalid API credentials, ASIN not found in your Amazon marketplace locale, or account eligibility (fewer than 3 qualifying sales in the last 30 days).
