Duplicate Products Report for WooCommerce for WordPress

I’ve been running a small WooCommerce shop for years, and over time, stuff just… accumulates. I found myself with two versions of the same t-shirt in the catalog-same name, slightly different SKUs, one with a typo. Not exactly a disaster, but it was a pain when trying to track inventory or run sales reports. That’s when I stumbled on this Duplicate Products Report for WooCommerce for WordPress. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from a plugin with zero downloads and no developer info, but it worked.

The good stuff

It scans your entire product list in seconds and spits out a clean report showing exact matches by name and SKU. No fluff. The report shows up under the WooCommerce menu, which is nice-it doesn’t force you to dig through settings. I remember one day just hitting “scan” and seeing 14 duplicates pop up, all clearly flagged. Some were real mistakes (like a product imported twice), others were just minor variations that made no sense. Being able to see them all at once saved me hours. And the edit links are straightforward-you can jump straight to the product to merge or delete. It’s not flashy, but it does what it says.

The not-so-good

Here’s the thing: it only checks name and SKU. If you have products with identical descriptions, prices, and images but different names? This won’t catch them. So if your problem is more about subtle duplicates, you’ll need something else. Also, no export option-just view the report in the dashboard. You’d have to copy-paste manually if you wanted to share it. And yeah, the lack of a developer name or clear support channels makes me pause a little. But it’s free, so the risk is low. If you’re managing a medium-sized store with inconsistent naming, this is still better than nothing.

Bottom line

If your product catalog has drifted into chaos, this tool will help you clean it up fast. It’s not fancy, but it works exactly as promised. For anyone using WooCommerce on WordPress who’s dealing with accidental duplicates, it’s worth a download. Just don’t expect magic-this is a simple scanner, not a full inventory system. But sometimes, simple is enough.
