AI Product Description Generator for WooCommerce | The Complete Guide

Published on July 15, 2025

A step-by-step workflow for automating your WooCommerce product content, from data export to final import.

The Content Scaling Challenge on WooCommerce

The Manual Content Bottleneck: Writing titles, feature lists, long descriptions, and SEO metadata by hand for hundreds of WooCommerce products is slow and repetitive. For every new SKU you have to open the product editor, type or paste the copy, add keywords, adjust tags, and hit update. Multiply that by an entire catalog and you lose days that could be spent on marketing or product development.

Why Poor Product Data Hurts Sales: Thin or inconsistent descriptions, missing keywords, and empty attributes make it harder for shoppers to find what they need. Search engines also rank your store lower, cutting organic traffic. The result is fewer clicks, lower conversion rates, and a brand that feels unfinished next to competitors with detailed, polished pages.

Common AI Solutions for WooCommerce (And Why They Don't Scale)

Method A: The Native Tool (e.g., GetGenie AI or AI Power)

Convenient for one, impossible for one thousand.

These WordPress-based AI helpers sit inside the product editor. They can spin up a single description with one click, which is handy when you are editing a product here and there. The trouble starts when you need to refresh an entire catalog. You still have to open every product, run the generator, tweak the output, and save. There is no bulk processing, no way to chain multiple prompts, and no easy path to reuse that content outside WooCommerce.

Method B: The Integrated Plugin

Better, but still traps your data and limits your workflow.

Plugins that promise “bulk AI descriptions” usually work only inside WordPress. They help you fill a few extra fields but still keep the data locked in the database. If you want to push that content to Amazon, eBay, or a marketplace feed manager, you have to export, clean up, and reformat everything again. Plus, many of these plugins process items one step at a time, so adding translations or extra attributes becomes another manual task.

The Universal Problem: A Content Dead End

Even if these tools generate good content for WooCommerce, they create a major roadblock. The content is now trapped. If you want to sell the same products on Amazon, OTTO, or another marketplace, you can't reuse that work. Each system has different data requirements, and these platform-locked tools cannot format your content for other destinations. This forces you to start from scratch for every new channel, killing your ability to scale.

The Scalable Workflow: A Content Pipeline with Conbase.ai

Moving Beyond Platform-Lock: The winning playbook is simple: export your WooCommerce catalog as a CSV, process it with Conbase.ai, then import the enriched file back. Working outside the dashboard frees you from plugin limits and lets you apply powerful multi-step AI prompts to thousands of rows at once.

Your Data, Your Rules: A spreadsheet offers complete visibility. You see every attribute, fix inconsistencies, and feed clean data to the AI. Conbase.ai keeps that control in your hands so the final file lands back in WooCommerce perfectly formatted and ready to sell.

Step-by-Step: Your Complete WooCommerce AI Generation Workflow

Step 1: Export Your Product Data from WooCommerce

Start with a fresh CSV so nothing important is missing.

  1. In your WordPress dashboard go to Products › All Products.
  2. Click the Export button at the top of the list.
  3. Select the columns you need (all columns is usually safest) and press Generate CSV.
  4. If you need custom fields, variations, or very large exports, install WP All Export, create a new Export, choose WooCommerce Products, pick the fields, then run the export.

Always check the official WooCommerce documentation for the most up-to-date information, as interface labels and options can change.

Step 2: Prepare Your CSV for High-Quality AI Output

The AI can only work with what you feed it. Clean, well-structured columns produce stronger, on-brand copy. Add or verify the following “Ideal AI Input Source Columns” in your file:

  • SKU
  • base_name
  • category
  • tags
  • material
  • color
  • dimensions
  • unique_selling_point_1
  • unique_selling_point_2
  • target_customer_persona

Important for WooCommerce: Make sure to use a stable identifier for every row. WooCommerce accepts both ID and SKU during import, but stick to SKU for consistent updates across plugins. Double-check that Categories and Tags are comma-separated in the CSV, matching the exact names used in your store. Finally, include a product_type column (simple, variable, etc.) so WooCommerce knows how to rebuild each item.

Step 3: Process Your Data with a Conbase.ai Pipeline

Conbase.ai processes entire spreadsheets, giving you scale the in-dashboard plugins can’t touch.

  1. Upload your source CSV file.
  2. Configure one or more prompts.
  3. Run the generation.

Step 4: Import Your Enriched Data into WooCommerce

Your final file is ready. Now bring it back into the store.

  1. In WordPress go to Products › All Products and click Import.
  2. Upload the enriched CSV, confirm the delimiter (usually a comma), and map each column to the correct WooCommerce field.
  3. Run the importer. Test with a handful of products first. For very large files, switch to WP All Import to handle batching and advanced field mapping.

Always check the official WooCommerce documentation for the most up-to-date information, as import rules and options can change.
