WooCommerce Sample Products CSV
Download the official WooCommerce sample CSV files to import dummy products for testing. No need to install the plugin first and dig through its sample-data folder.
The official WooCommerce sample catalog: simple, variable, grouped, and external products with categories, images, prices, and stock. Perfect for testing a theme or a new store.
The official WooCommerce sample tax rates, handy for testing tax setup. Import these under WooCommerce, Settings, Tax, then a rate table.
How to import the sample products
- Download Sample Products above.
- In your WordPress admin, go to Products, then click Import (the WooCommerce product CSV importer).
- Choose the downloaded file and click Continue.
- Leave the column mapping as the defaults (the official file maps cleanly), then click Run the importer.
- That is it. The dummy products appear under Products, ready to test. You can bulk delete them later.
About these files
These are the exact sample data files that ship inside the WooCommerce plugin, hosted here so you can grab them in one click instead of installing the plugin and hunting through its sample-data folder. They are released under the GPL, the same licence as WooCommerce. The products are placeholders for testing only, so import them into a staging or test store, not a live shop.
About the WooCommerce Sample Products CSV
This tool gives you the official WooCommerce sample products CSV as a one-click download, so you can import dummy products and populate a store for testing in seconds. Sample, dummy, demo, and test products all mean the same thing here: a set of example products with the exact column headers the WooCommerce importer expects. It saves you from digging into the plugin folder to find the file by hand. Everything happens in your browser.
How it works
- Click Download to save the WooCommerce sample products CSV (the same example data WooCommerce ships in its sample-data folder).
- In your WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce > Products > Import and upload the file.
- Step through the column mapping (it is usually automatic because the headers match WooCommerce defaults) and run the import.
- Your store now has demo products you can use to test themes, page builders, checkout, and shipping.
Features

- Correct headers so the WooCommerce importer maps columns automatically.
- Perfect for seeding a fresh store with dummy or demo data for testing.
- Works for theme demos, checkout and tax testing, and screenshots.
- Fully client-side: nothing is uploaded and nothing is logged.
Frequently asked questions
What is the WooCommerce sample products CSV?
It is a ready-made CSV of example products that WooCommerce provides for testing. Importing it fills your store with dummy products so you can try out themes, layouts, and the checkout flow without creating products by hand.
How do I import the dummy products into WooCommerce?
Download the file here, then go to WooCommerce > Products > Import in your WordPress admin, upload the CSV, and follow the mapping step. The headers match WooCommerce defaults, so the columns map automatically in most cases.
Are sample, dummy, demo, and test products the same thing?
Yes. People search for all of these phrases, but they refer to the same idea: placeholder example products you import to populate a store for testing rather than real items you intend to sell.
Where does WooCommerce normally keep this file?
WooCommerce ships it inside the plugin at wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/sample-data/sample_products.csv. This tool just gives you a direct download so you do not have to open the server or the plugin folder.
How do I remove the sample products afterwards?
In WooCommerce > Products, select the imported products (you can filter or sort to find them), choose Move to Trash in the bulk actions, then empty the trash. Doing this on a staging site first is a good habit.
