When importing metafields with spaces in the namespace or key, you need to escape the spaces with a backslash (). For example, your metafield woo_attribute.Inclusief lichtbron should be formatted as woo_attribute.Inclusief\ lichtbron.

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Export your data from WooCommerce.

  2. In the exported file, locate the columns with the metafields that have spaces in the namespace or key.

  3. Replace the spaces with \  (backslash followed by a space). For example, woo_attribute.Inclusief lichtbron becomes woo_attribute.Inclusief\ lichtbron.

  4. Save the file and import it into Shopify using the DataEase app.
