Custom Stock Status Update Function for WooCommerce with WP All Import

Function Overview

The conditional_stock_status_update_by_sku function dynamically updates the stock status of WooCommerce products during import based on certain conditions. It checks if the „_manage_stock“ is unchecked (disabled) and only updates the „_stock_status“ if it’s not set to custom statuses like „contact“ or „catalog_only“.

function conditional_stock_status_update_by_sku($sku, $new_stock_status) {
    // Fetch the product by SKU
    $product_id = wc_get_product_id_by_sku($sku);
    $product = wc_get_product($product_id);

    // If no product is found, return an empty string or handle as needed
    if (!$product) {
        return '';
    }

    // Define your custom stock statuses
    $custom_statuses = ['contact', 'catalog_only'];

    // Get the existing stock status
    $existing_stock_status = $product->get_stock_status();

    // Check if the existing stock status is one of the custom statuses
    if (in_array($existing_stock_status, $custom_statuses)) {
        // Return the existing stock status, don't update
        return $existing_stock_status;
    }

    // Check if manage stock is enabled for this product
    $manage_stock = $product->get_manage_stock();

    // If manage stock is enabled, don't update and return the existing stock status
    if ($manage_stock) {
        return $existing_stock_status;
    }

    // If manage stock is not enabled and the stock status is not a custom one, update with the new stock status
    return $new_stock_status;
}

Implementation Steps

1. Add the Function to WP All Import:
   • Navigate to WP All Import Pro and open the Function Editor.
   • Copy and paste the provided PHP function into the editor.
   • Save your changes.
2. Use the Function in Your Import Template:
   • In the import template, locate the field mapping for stock status.
   • Ensure {ItemCode[1]} corresponds to the SKU in your import file, and {stock_status} matches the field for new stock statuses.
   • Replace the direct mapping with the following shortcode

[conditional_stock_status_update_by_sku({ItemCode[1]}, "{stock_status}")]

Troubleshooting

• Function Not Working: Ensure the function is correctly pasted in WP All Import’s Function Editor and the shortcode is properly set up in your import template.
• Incorrect Stock Status Update: Verify that your import file’s SKU and stock status fields are correctly mapped in the shortcode.

Conclusion

This custom function is a powerful tool for managing stock statuses in WooCommerce via WP All Import Pro. It offers flexibility and control, ensuring that specific stock statuses are maintained according to your business rules.
