About The Project

This script does a very simple thing, it takes a path structure and converts it to products for a Woocommerce store.

It follows a very specific pattern and is not yet very flexible as it only supports one category, and a color property derived from the name.

Here's why:

• Nobody should be manually uploading and organizing pictures to upload, and then add description, SKU, variations etc...
• Photographers don't usually do any of the organization, however, they do have most of the information about the product, and variations available
• Using AI to create descriptions saves a ton of time 😄

Getting Started

• build the executable with go build go build cmd/main/wcuploader.go
• Set up the base directory to comply with the following structure
  • .base_dir/<category>/<Title> <ColorSKU>-<ColorName>-<Picture-perspective(front-Side..)>.jpg
  • For example:
    • base_dir/kitchen/Can-Opener C1-PURPLE-FRONT.jpg
    • base_dir/tools/Drill Z2-Green-SideView.jpg
• call the executable created with the following flags:

./wcuploader -products "<base dir where directories with categories are"
-gptsecret "<openai-secret>" 
-shop-url "<wordpress base url>"
-woocommerce-key "<woocommerce-key>"
-woocommerce-secret "<woocommerce-secret>"
-wp-key "<wp app password>"
-user "<wp-user>"
