Strikkoteket.
Their store was growing. Their process wasn't.
Strikkoteket needed to add 900+ products to their online store. Their plan: one by one.
Every product had to be added manually. Each photo downloaded, renamed by hand, and matched to the right color of yarn.
Prices, descriptions, categories, all filled in one field at a time. It wasn’t just slow. It was the kind of work that never really ends.
How we automated a +900-product WooCommerce import in hours.
Custom automation for WooCommerce: 900+ products cleaned, renamed and imported without a single manual fix.
