Create and Manage Bulk Attachments for WooCommerce Products

Once you’ve configured the main plugin settings, you can create multiple bulk attachments using the WooCommerce Product Attachment Pro plugin.

A bulk attachment lets you add one file or external link and control where it appears—by products, categories, tags, attributes, and order statuses—along with expiry rules and visibility settings.

This guide walks you through creating and managing bulk attachments step by step.
