Currently, the 5 last columns in the excel template are for your custom attributes. Replace the column title Attribute 1,2,3,4,5 with your own desired attribute names. Add as many columns as you need and delete the one you do not need. However, ensure that the attribute name you add in the file exactly matches to an existing custom attribute in WooPOS. If it is not the case then you must create the attribute (and the attribute set name) in WooPOS before to execute the data importation otherwise WooPOS will not know where to put the data.
