Import Products to WooCommerce V3.5+
This task will update or insert products into your WooCommerce store from an XML file. The products in the input file are matched to products in WooCommerce based on the <id> or the <sku>. If an <id> is provided, the existing product in WooCommerce with this ID will be updated. If a <sku> is provided and a product already exists in WooCommerce with a matching SKU, the existing product will be updated. Otherwise a new product will be created.
Please note the <id> must be provided to update existing draft products. Due to a limitation of the WooCommerce API, it is not possible to match draft products based on SKU.
