SanBar EXPress Sheet for WooCommerce

Description

SanBar EXPress Sheet for WooCommerce brings a fast, keyboard-friendly, spreadsheet-style editor for your WooCommerce catalog. No more clicking into one product at a time — see and edit dozens of products on a single screen.

Features

  • Inline editing for title, slug, status, regular price, sale price, SKU, weight, dimensions, and visibility
  • Popups for categories (hierarchical), brands (auto-detects WC Brands, Perfect Brands, YITH Brands), tags, thumbnail, gallery, descriptions, and upsells
  • Inline taxonomy creation — create categories, brands, and tags without leaving the plugin
  • Configurable columns — drag-and-drop reorder, pin columns left or right, hide unused columns, font size, border color, width per column — preferences saved per user
  • Smart input expand — fields expand on focus for comfortable editing, with cross-highlight to keep your eye on the right row and column
  • GTIN/EAN-13 validation with checksum verification — optionally save as _global_unique_id for Google Shopping / Meta Catalog
  • Built-in duplicate detection for SKU and GTIN — prevents catalog corruption
  • Concurrency-safe — detects when another user is editing the same product and warns before overwriting
  • Batch saving — saves multiple products in optimized batches of 5 concurrent requests
  • Visual edit indicators — edited rows highlighted with orange left border, edited cells marked with asterisk (*) and orange borders
  • Keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Enter to apply popup, Esc to cancel, Tab trap inside popups
  • Search by title, SKU, category, or tag — automatic detection of code-like search terms, case-insensitive
  • Quick stats — total, published, drafts, and out-of-stock counts at a glance
  • WooCommerce HPOS compatible
  • Translation-ready — all strings use __() / wp.i18n.__(). Portuguese (Brazil) translation included.

Why use this plugin?

The native WooCommerce product list is great for browsing but slow for bulk editing. The Quick Edit and Bulk Edit features cover only a few fields. CSV imports are powerful but error-prone. SanBar EXPress Sheet sits between them: a familiar spreadsheet UI with full validation, designed for shop owners who add or update many products per day.

FAQ

Does it work with WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables)?

Yes. The plugin declares full HPOS compatibility.

What brand taxonomies are supported?

Auto-detected, in priority order: WooCommerce’s native product_brand (WC 9.4+), yith_product_brand (YITH WooCommerce Brands), brand (Perfect Brands for WooCommerce), and pa_marca (the Brazilian convention of a global attribute named “Marca”).

Where are my preferences saved?

Per user, in user_meta, under the key sbsheetplus_col_prefs. Each user gets their own column layout, font size, color, width, and visibility preferences.

Does the plugin modify my data on uninstall?

Only its own per-user preferences and its stats transient. Products, categories, brands, and tags are NEVER touched on uninstall — they belong to WooCommerce.
