Description

- Configurable columns — drag-and-drop reorder, pin columns left or right, hide unused columns, font size, border color, width per column — preferences saved per user

- Product code manager — GTIN, UPC, MPN, Supplier Code and ISBN fields, with checksum validation (GTIN/UPC/ISBN) and one field configurable to mirror the SKU automatically; optionally saves the linked field as
_global_unique_idfor Google Shopping / Meta Catalog - Built-in duplicate detection for SKU, GTIN, UPC and ISBN — prevents catalog corruption

- Batch saving — saves multiple products in optimized batches of 5 concurrent requests

- Quick stats — total, published, drafts, and out-of-stock counts at a glance
- WooCommerce HPOS compatible
- Translation-ready — all strings use
__()/wp.i18n.__(). Portuguese (Brazil) translation included.
Why use this plugin?
The native WooCommerce product list is great for browsing but slow for bulk editing. The Quick Edit and Bulk Edit features cover only a few fields. CSV imports are powerful but error-prone. SanBar EXPress Sheet sits between them: a familiar spreadsheet UI with full validation, designed for shop owners who add or update many products per day.
