Forget about dull manual upload of products from your suppliers’ catalogs to your store

XML & CSV
$292.00

Overview


The XML & CSV add-on sets you free from dull manual upload of products from your suppliers’ catalogs to your store. You only need to get the XML table from your vendors and import it to your store. The product database will be uploaded automatically, all the following changes in the catalogs will be synchronized with your store automatically by means of the CRON script. The XML and CSV add-on lets you easily import products from any XML, CSV, JSON or YML file to your CS-Cart store. Save yourself hours with this add-on and make inventory management hassle-free.

Watch the video guide in YouTube.

  • Scan fields and attributes of the XML feed for the dynamic setting of fields matching.

  • Update products in the database.
  • Ability to clone import profiles in order to save time on setting up profiles with similar settings.

How it works

Set up the add-on settings first.

XML-csv-addon-settings

The add-on creates the XML and CSV import page, where you can see a list of all created profiles with the ability to delete, edit, add, and import profiles.

XML-CSV-import-page

Select a file, the file type you would like to import and set the other parameters.

XML-csv-new-import-file

Then select containers for categories and products.

XML_csv_container_for_categories_and_products

Once containers are selected, the Category mapping and Fields mapping tabs will be available. Use the Fields mapping tab to arrange a list of fields included in the data feed. While in the Category mapping tab, you can match product categories from the XML or CSV file with product categories in your store. Link categories manually if they were not linked automatically.

After all the parameters are specified, click Save the changes and them the Import button to run the import process. It may take some time. At the end you will see the Import completed notification.

The add-on works, even though there is a slight learning curve involved when moving from the CS-Cart advanced product import.
The main selling point for us was the category mapping feature, which does what it's supposed to do, but the CRON import functionality is also much improved from the standard import one and allows for a more stable and coordinated import.

Установили модуль, давно такой нужен был!

У нас более 10к товаров, цены обновлять мучение. Кое что хочется допилить под себя.
Ребята из simtechdev бесплатно доработали возможность привязки характеристик, но теперь хочется эту привязку характеристик выборочно делать, только для определенных характеристик, но что бы это сделать, просят сумму больше стоимости самого модуля..

Модуль можно было вернуть - но мы оставили. Будем работать, дорабатывать.
