What does Bulk Taxonomy Manager for WooCommerce do?
It lets you create many WooCommerce product categories, attributes, tags and brands at once. In WordPress, all four are taxonomies: the labelled groups that organise your catalogue and power your shop filters, menus and archive pages. WooCommerce gives you a screen to add one term at a time. This plugin gives you bulk tools for the same job, so a catalogue structure that would take a long afternoon of clicking can be set up in a fraction of the effort.
Why does adding categories, attributes, tags and brands one by one slow you down?
Because every term is its own form submission. You type a name, check the slug, click add, wait for the page, and repeat. One term is quick. A whole catalogue is not.
Take a clothing store as an illustration. It might need 30 categories, 4 attributes (size, colour, material and fit) holding 40 values between them, 25 tags and 15 brands. That adds up to 114 separate entries, and that is before the store grows. Each one is a small chore, and small chores are where typos, duplicate terms and inconsistent naming creep in.
The problem is not only the time. A messy taxonomy hurts the shopper too. Duplicate categories split your products across near-identical archive pages. Inconsistent attribute values, such as “XL” in one place and “Extra Large” in another, break your layered navigation filters. Missing brands mean shoppers cannot narrow a search to the labels they trust. Getting the structure right at the start, quickly, is worth doing properly, and that is what bulk tools are for.
Which tools are included in Bulk Taxonomy Manager?
The plugin bundles four tools, one for each of the taxonomies most WooCommerce stores rely on. Each one opens from the same settings section, so you never have to remember where a tool lives.
Bulk Category Creator
Product categories are the backbone of most stores: they drive your main navigation, your shop archive pages and the way shoppers browse. Bulk Category Creator lets you create many categories in one go rather than adding them individually. It is the right starting point when you are launching a new store, rebuilding a catalogue or migrating products from another platform and need the category structure in place before products arrive.
Best for: new store setups, catalogue restructures and migrations.
Bulk Attribute Creator
Attributes such as size, colour, material or capacity are what make filters and variable products work. Bulk Attribute Creator helps you add product attributes and their values in bulk, so they are ready to select in the product editor. Global attributes created this way are available across your whole catalogue, which keeps naming consistent from one product to the next and gives your layered navigation clean values to filter on.
Best for: stores with variable products, filter-heavy catalogues and consistent product data.
Bulk Tag Creator
Product tags are a lightweight way to group products across categories: “gift ideas”, “summer”, “vegan”, “new arrival”. Bulk Tag Creator lets you create a full set of tags at once, so your merchandising and cross-linking ideas do not stall at the data-entry stage. Tags also create their own archive pages, which can help shoppers and search engines find related products.
Best for: seasonal campaigns, themed collections and cross-category grouping.
Bulk Brand Manager
Shoppers often search by brand before anything else. Bulk Brand Manager lets you create and manage product brands in bulk, so a store that stocks dozens of labels can have them all set up without repeating the same steps for each. A tidy brand list supports brand archive pages and makes it easier for customers to narrow down what they are looking for.
Best for: multi-brand retailers, resellers and marketplaces.
How do you create categories, attributes, tags and brands in bulk?
The workflow is the same idea across all four tools: pick the tool, add your terms, create them. Here is the path from a fresh install.
- Install and activate the plugin. Upload the plugin ZIP in Plugins → Add New, then activate it. A welcome notice appears on the Plugins page and points you to the right place.
- Open the Bulk Taxonomies section. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Bulk Taxonomies. You will see all four tools listed with their status.
- Choose a tool. Click the button next to Bulk Category Creator, Bulk Attribute Creator, Bulk Tag Creator or Bulk Brand Manager to open it.
- Enter your terms and create them. Add the names you need and run the tool. Your new categories, attributes, tags or brands appear in WooCommerce alongside any you already have.
- Switch off what you do not use. If you only need categories and brands, untick the other tools in the same section and save.
Once the terms exist, they behave exactly like terms you would have added by hand. You assign them to products in the normal product editor, use them in menus and filters, and edit or delete them from the standard WordPress screens.
Why choose one plugin instead of four separate ones?
Four separate plugins means four things to buy, install, update, test and keep compatible. One plugin means one of each. It also means a single, predictable place to find the tools, instead of four menu items scattered around the admin.
| What you care about | Adding terms manually | Four separate bulk plugins | Bulk Taxonomy Manager |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creating many terms at once | No, one term at a time | Yes | Yes |
| Taxonomies covered | All, individually | One per plugin | Categories, attributes, tags and brands |
| Plugins to install and update | None | Four | One |
| Where you find the tools | Separate admin screens | Four separate locations | One settings section with a button for each tool |
| Turn tools off when not needed | Not applicable | Deactivate each plugin | On/off switch per tool |
| Purchases | Not applicable | Four | One |
What does a real catalogue setup look like?
Here is how the clothing store from earlier could use the plugin on launch day. The numbers are an example, not a promise of speed.
- Open Bulk Category Creator and create the 30 categories that make up the shop navigation: men, women, kids, shoes, accessories and their sub-sections.
- Open Bulk Attribute Creator and add the four attributes, then the 40 values: sizes from XS to XXL, the colour range, materials and fits.
- Open Bulk Brand Manager and add the 15 labels the store stocks.
- Open Bulk Tag Creator and add the 25 merchandising tags for seasons, occasions and collections.
With the structure in place, the store owner, or the agency building the site, can import or add products and assign terms that already exist, rather than inventing them mid-way through product entry. That order of work matters. Defining the taxonomy first keeps naming consistent and avoids the cleanup job that follows when terms are created ad hoc.
Who is Bulk Taxonomy Manager for?
- Store owners launching a new WooCommerce shop who want the catalogue structure ready before the first product goes live.
- Agencies and freelancers who build WooCommerce stores for clients and repeat the same taxonomy setup on every project.
- Merchants migrating from another platform who need their existing categories, attributes, tags and brands recreated quickly.
- Stores reorganising a growing catalogue that has outgrown its original category tree or attribute list.
- Multi-brand retailers and resellers who carry many labels and need them set up without repeating the same clicks.
If you add a handful of terms a year, WooCommerce’s built-in screens are enough. The plugin earns its place when you are setting up or reshaping a catalogue and the number of terms runs into the dozens or hundreds.
Does it work with the rest of your WooCommerce setup?
Yes. Bulk Taxonomy Manager works with WooCommerce’s own categories, attributes, tags and brands, so nothing proprietary is added to your products and the terms stay usable by the other plugins and themes on your site. The plugin declares compatibility with High-Performance Order Storage, and it requires WooCommerce to be active.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| WooCommerce | 6.0 or newer, must be installed and active |
| WordPress | 5.8 or newer |
| PHP | 7.4 or newer |
| HPOS | Compatibility declared |
| Where to find it | WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Bulk Taxonomies |
What if you already use one of the standalone bulk plugins?
Bulk Taxonomy Manager includes the same tools that were previously offered as separate plugins: Bulk Category Creator, Bulk Attribute Creator, Bulk Tag Creator and Bulk Brand Manager. Running a standalone copy and the bundled copy of the same tool at the same time would cause conflicts, so the plugin checks for this. If a standalone version of a tool is still active, the bundled version of that tool is skipped and a notice in your dashboard tells you which plugin to deactivate. Deactivate the old one, and the bundled tool takes over.
How much does Bulk Taxonomy Manager for WooCommerce cost?
Bulk Taxonomy Manager for WooCommerce costs $59. That one price covers all four tools: Bulk Category Creator, Bulk Attribute Creator, Bulk Tag Creator and Bulk Brand Manager.
- All four bulk tools in one plugin
- A single settings section with a button for each tool
- On/off switches so you only run what you use
- A welcome notice that shows new users where to start
- Conflict detection for old standalone copies of the same tools
