dimam Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi to all of you! I have an urgent need to transform an existing shop into a webshop. I have some experience creating a pretty easy site under prestashop and I know that it takes a lot of time to upload products one after another. the quistion would be: "what tools exist out there that help you either pre-create articles (just upload the name, photos, maybe metatags or so) or create the article (I would just have to validate the article on-line)? I can take pictures of articles myself and put them to my computer, aterwards I'd need a program (web- or computer-based) to: - choose the pictures on my computer and upload them alltogether - define some attributes and metatags (brand, size, colors...) - any other suggestions are welcome this would be very helpful!! Thank you all Dima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi Dima, Is this existing shop already online using another platform, or are you trying to bring a brick-and-mortar shop to PrestaShop? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimam Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi Mike, Sorry for not being precise enough. I am trying to bring a brick-and-mortar shop to Prestashop. I guess this could be a sole solution that can let it survive otherwise it will be closed in june. DimaM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi DimaM, In that situation, if you don't want to enter the products one-by-one you will likely want to try using our CSV importer function through the Back Office to upload everything more quickly. I hope this helps. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimam Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ok, I think you suggest me to: 1. create a CVS with OpenOffice Calc (for the sake of Utf-8) and import all the products 2. how do I import the pictures? is there a field where I have to put the pictures names?
