Sample code to import images from Google drive to WooCommerce

1. Use a Chrome extension like Drive Explorer to generate direct download links for your Google Drive images. This extension provides URLs that end with recognized image extensions, which WooCommerce requires[1].

2. Prepare your CSV file with an "Images" column. In this column, include the direct download URLs generated by Drive Explorer, separating multiple images with a pipe symbol (|)[2][3].

3. Use the following PHP code to import the products with images:

php
<?php
// Make sure WooCommerce is active
if (!function_exists('WC')) {
    return;
}

// File path to your CSV
$file = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/your-plugin-folder/your-product-csv.csv';

// Get the WC_Product_CSV_Importer class
require_once WC_ABSPATH . 'includes/import/class-wc-product-csv-importer.php';

// Set up import parameters
$params = array(
    'parse'               => true,
    'prevent_timeouts'    => false,
    'mapping'             => array(
        'from' => array('name', 'description', 'short_description', 'price', 'images'),
        'to'   => array('name', 'description', 'short_description', 'price', 'images')
    ),
    'update_existing'     => false,
    'delimiter'           => ',',
);

// Create the importer object
$importer = new WC_Product_CSV_Importer($file, $params);

// Run the import
$results = $importer->import();

// Check for errors
if (is_wp_error($results)) {
    echo "Import failed: " . $results->get_error_message();
} else {
    echo "Import successful. " . count($results) . " products imported.";
}

This code does the following:

1. It checks if WooCommerce is active.
2. It specifies the path to your CSV file.
3. It sets up import parameters, including mapping the 'images' column.
4. It creates an importer object and runs the import.
5. Finally, it checks for errors and reports the results.

Remember to replace 'your-plugin-folder' and 'your-product-csv.csv' with your actual folder and file names.

Important notes:
- Ensure your CSV is saved in UTF-8 encoding[3].
- Test the image URLs in a browser before importing to ensure they're valid and accessible[2][3].
- The first image in the list will be set as the main product image, while subsequent images will be added to the product gallery[2][3].

If you encounter issues with Google Drive links, consider downloading the images to your local computer, uploading them to your WordPress Media Library, and using the image filenames in your CSV import file instead[4].
