Thrive and WooCommerce both have many product fields and there are some differences between the two platforms. Thrive won't sync all fields since WooCommerce places restrictions on what exactly we can sync to.

Here are the product fields Thrive syncs to when you connect your WooCommerce account (please note if the product field is not listed, we will not sync it):

  • Italicized fields indicate they are fields specific to WooCommerce.

  • Italicized & bold fields indicate they are available at both the product and variant level.

When you've successfully connected your catalog from WooCommerce to Thrive, Thrive will now sync updates to product fields to your WooCommerce account. More information on how Thrive syncs can be found here.

Some notable fields that are editable in Thrive, but will not sync to WooCommerce include:

Fields that are relevant exclusively to WooCommerce users can be enabled/disabled under the Integrations tab as shown here:

Or from the Settings page, under Feature Settings>Catalog>Integrations as shown here:


Importing WooCommerce-specific fields

If you recently enabled a new field, be sure to click the "Import WooCommerce Fields" button to make sure what's in WooCommerce is reflected in Thrive, as shown here:

By importing this way, you'll only bring over information from those enabled fields. If you're just getting started using these fields, we still recommend importing to ensure syncing is enabled.


Editing WooCommerce-specific fields

One-by-one

Edit individual products by clicking on the desired product on the Products page. From there, click the Integrations tab to find the enabled fields are editable.

In Bulk

Once fields are enabled from the Settings page, under Feature Settings>Catalog>Integrations, click "Bulk Upload WooCommerce Fields" as shown here:

Next, you'll have the option to edit products OR variants. Depending on the fields you want to edit, you might need to generate a bulk upload spreadsheet for each.

Enabled integration-specific fields can be edited via a spreadsheet on the Bulk Uploads page.
