Product Import
Maxina connects to your WooCommerce store and automatically imports your entire product catalog. It doesn't just copy text — it enriches every product with AI-powered analysis of images and videos.
How Import Works
When a product is discovered (via webhook or manual sync), Maxina processes it through three parallel lanes:
📝 Text Lane (Instant)
- Product title, description, price, and attributes are indexed immediately
- The AI can search and reference the product within seconds
- Attributes are normalized automatically (e.g., "Half a kilo" →
500 g)
🖼️ Image Lane
Each product image is:
- Downloaded from your store
- Stored securely in cloud storage
- Analyzed by AI Vision to extract:
- Colors — dominant colors in the image
- Tags — visual descriptors (e.g., "leather", "sneaker", "outdoor")
- OCR — any text visible in the image (brand names, labels)
- Description — a natural language description of the image
🎬 Video Lane
If your products include videos (e.g., WoodMart theme video fields):
- Videos are downloaded and optimized
- AI analyzes the video to extract:
- Visual description — what's shown in the video
- Audio transcript — spoken words transcribed to text
- Tags — visual and topical tags

Manual Product Entry
Not using WooCommerce? You can add products manually through the Knowledge Base:
- Go to Knowledge Base in your dashboard
- Click Add Entry
- Fill in the product details (title, description, price)
- Save — the entry is immediately available to the AI

See Knowledge Base for full details.
Automatic Sync
After the initial import, Maxina keeps your catalog in sync:
| Trigger | What Happens |
|---|---|
| New product created in WooCommerce | Webhook → auto-imported |
| Product updated in WooCommerce | Webhook → re-imported with changes |
| Manual "Sync Now" button | Full catalog re-checked |
tip
Maxina uses smart sync — it only re-processes products that have actually changed since the last sync, saving time and resources.
