I only want to import
Products (SKU, PICTURE, VARIABLES, TAGS, ASSOCIATED CATEGORIES)

Please help.
Once you have exported your products in CSV/XML, you can easily import your products into new WooCommerce store.
There is a free WooCommerce product import extension plugin which will help you to do that very easily. sample CSV
A general way of moving the products and categories will be exporting them into an easily accessible format (csv, json, etc) and import them into your new webstore.
Opencart marketplace provides the extension for exporting your products, categories etc... and you can import them into csv format then you can use them to import into the woocommerce platform.
I will provide a link to the opencart extension which is actually free.

I would suggest direct database migration from Opencart to Woocommerce, which seems to be the cleanest way. There are tools outthere which can help you do this. This one is free, and made by a famous developer, check it out: Migrate Shopping Carts to Woocommerce
When migrating from OpenCart to WooCommerce, you should consider some issues:
OpenCart uses Custom Options for product while WooCommerce uses Variations. In this case, I recommend you to install WooCommerce Product Extra Option plugin.
SEO meta title and meta description: this data is very important for your website's ranking, don't forget to migrate it. You could use Yoast SEO or Rank Math plugin to handle your SEO data in WooCommerce.
For your question about the migration tools, free plugins will not be able to afford the 2 issues above, pro versions would be better. But if you are looking for a migration tool that can cover the problems listed above, I recommend you to use this OpenCart to WooCommerce migration tool of Next-Cart. This is a really good migration software at a much more affordable price.

I am currently working on a WordPress website, with WooCommerce functionality.
I would like to provide the client with a full breakdown of all the product variations that are currently on the website. For 1 product alone, there are over 500 Product Variations. Rather than type all these up manually, is there not a way I could export these into a .csv or Excel file etc?
I have looked on the internet and can see a few Plugins but would rather try and figure this out without a Plugin.
Thanks, in advance.
Just ran into this myself, quick findings:
the built-in WooCommerce product exporter doesn't export the variations alongside simple products
Store Exporter Deluxe doesn't either
WP All Export Pro does the job
Product Import Export Plugin For WooCommerce by WebToffee looks promising, but I haven't tried it yet.
You can see the simplest plugin for doing this here.
I'm using Woocommerce and trying to make a desktop application which manipulates products and prices (planning to use visual basic).
I've searched the internet a lot however couldn't find a good answer to where the product names and their prices are stored.
Can I manipulate data using php or mysql from desktop?
WooCommerce stores products in the 'posts' table of the schema. Instead of manually updating the DB, I would use the provided API.
From there, you can let WooCommerce handle all of the nitty gritty of updating products, managing the data structure, etc.
This also allows you to not have updates to WooCommerce break your application if they change their DB layout.

I need to move my 100s of products from Magento ver. 1.7.0.2 to WooCommerce 2.1.11.
Is there any way to do this?
I have searched a lot but found nothing on this.
Cart2Cart solutions is the best, though it might cost you a little.
Migrations of following is possible from magento to WooCommerce
Products, product images, product extra fields, product attributes, product variants
Categories, category images
Customers, customer shipping address, customer billing address
Orders, order statuses
Not a fan of this plugin but you can use this plugin for fulfilling your purpose too.
litextension plugin might help you. The reason why i gave plugin as a reference to you is of its prompt Live support which resolved all my queries before even purchasing the plugin.
For you to compare they have also given a comparison link with cart2cart which you need to crosscheck.
I'm using WooCommerce plugin to create an e-shop with Wordpress. All the products will have the same variations and the same price.
There will be many products, is there any way to create variations by default?
Here are some really handy tools I've used for variations:
This plugin allows you to import all of your attributes/variations (and other product information) from a CSV or XML file. So you could very easily apply the same variations to many products:
wpallimport.com
Or this one is handy for applying the same attributes to many products: http://www.najeebmedia.com/n-media-woocommerce-personalized-product-options-manager/
I would much prefer the first plugin, however, as I'm currently using both for a project.

I recently started with Magento and decided to migrate Interspire shopping cart I already made time ago to it. At first look Magento seems a very huge beast - lots of options, maybe lack of simplicity resulting in some performance loss. I've got user guide from which I am not getting much of benefit since there're just descriptions of very ordinary tasks that I could easily discover myself by poking around frontend/backend. So my first tasks are category and product export. Interspire seems to be exporting ONLY products in three available formats:
Default
MYOB
Peachtree accounting
I did some searching on Magento's product importing and found a blog post which says that I should create a few sample products with all the necessary attributes myself and then start the import. But what should I do with categories ? Is it possible to import them or instruct Magento to automatically create categories when importing product file if unknown category is encountered ?
Thanks
Thanks for the advertisements folks ! though I would prefer an advice how to do it myself. I found out that I can do it for free, since Interspire supports Interspire -> OsCommerce migration and there's free OsCommerce -> Magento migration module in Magento Connect, only thing I need to do is to setup temporary OsCommerce on public server.
