Product import modules move and update product data in online stores automatically. They can import products, categories, prices, stock, images, descriptions and other product data from suppliers or external systems.

We build and adapt product import solutions for PrestaShop and OpenCart stores. Data can come from XML, CSV or JSON files, or directly through an API.

Automatic product import

If a store has hundreds or thousands of products, entering and updating them by hand takes a lot of time.

An automatic import module can fetch data from the supplier on a schedule and update the products in the store.

You can automate:

• creating new products;

• updating existing products;

• price updates;

• stock updates;

• description updates;

• category updates;

• manufacturer data;

• product images;

• attributes and combinations;

• SKU and other product identifiers.

That reduces manual work and keeps the store information current.

Product import into PrestaShop

We build and adapt PrestaShop product import modules.

The import can follow a particular supplier's data structure and the needs of the PrestaShop store.

You can import:

• products;

• categories;

• manufacturers;

• combinations;

• attributes;

• prices;

• stock;

• images;

• short and full descriptions;

• SKU;

• EAN;

• other product fields.

If the supplier provides XML, CSV, JSON or an API, we can adapt the import to that structure.

PrestaShop development and custom modules

Product import into OpenCart

We build OpenCart product import modules that move supplier products into the store automatically.

During import you can manage:

• names;

• descriptions;

• categories;

• manufacturers;

• prices;

• stock;

• images;

• attributes;

• options;

• SKU and other identifiers.

The import logic can follow a particular supplier file or API.

OpenCart development and custom modules

XML product import

One of the most common supplier formats is XML.

If the supplier provides a product catalogue in XML, we can build an automatic import that fetches the data on a schedule and updates the store.

During import we can also process the data, for example:

• change categories;

• recalculate prices;

• apply markups;

• filter products;

• change product names;

• process attributes;

• map supplier categories to store categories;

• choose which products are imported.

CSV and JSON product import

Product data can be imported from CSV or JSON files as well as XML.

The module can be adapted to a specific file structure, including non-standard supplier files.

If the supplier data is not ready for a direct import into PrestaShop or OpenCart, we can build the transformation and import logic.

Product import through an API

If the supplier has an API, product data can be fetched directly from their system.

An API integration automates the transfer and keeps the store information updated.

An API can provide:

• products;

• prices;

• stock;

• categories;

• images;

• order data;

• other data the supplier provides.

You then do not have to download and upload files by hand.

Price and stock updates

An import module can create new products and also update products that are already in the store.

For example, when the supplier changes:

• a price;

• stock;

• a product name;

• a description;

• an image;

• a category;

the matching data in the store can be updated automatically.

The store can then keep the supplier data current without constant manual work.

Price calculation and markups

Extra price calculations can run during import.

For example:

• add a percentage markup;

• add a fixed amount;

• use different markups by category;

• use different pricing by supplier;

• round the final price.

Supplier data can then match your store's pricing as soon as it is imported.

Import from several suppliers

If the store works with several suppliers, each supplier can have its own import rules.

Each supplier can have a different:

• XML structure;

• CSV format;

• API;

• category structure;

• product identifiers;

• pricing rules;

• stock format.

The import can process different sources and combine their data in one PrestaShop or OpenCart store.

Automating the import

The import can start automatically on a schedule.

For example:

• once a day;

• several times a day;

• every hour;

• on a custom schedule.

New products, prices and stock can then update without an administrator stepping in.

A custom product import module

One import solution does not fit every supplier. If the data format is non-standard or the import logic is specific, we can build a custom product import module.

We can adapt the import to:

• your supplier's data format;

• the PrestaShop or OpenCart structure;

• product categories;

• pricing rules;

• stock handling;

• product identifiers;

• your business process.
