Insert a Woocomerce product in specific product category

Question

I'm a bit new to Woocomerce plugin and have a problem.

I need to create products from code not from admin page. Probably I will insert them with wp_insert_post( $product ).

The problem is I don't know how to set the category for this product. I know it's name, not the ID (in fact I know ID but it can change). How can I add the product to that category?

Answer 1

You can use wp_set_object_terms fx

From Codex:

This function relates an object (post, link etc) to a term and taxonomy type (tag, category, etc). Creates the term and taxonomy relationship if it doesn't already exist.

wp_set_object_terms( 'id of product', 'term name', 'product_cat', true );
