Products import from feed

[sergiud]

Hi all,

 

What is the best way to import products from feeds in txt or xml formats?

 

Thanks!

Good morning

 

A bit of a vague question, are you looking for a module to do this

Hi Paul,

 

To be more specific I am looking for a module that does basically the same things as this plugin for WooCommerce: http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-xml-csv-product-import/

I already figured out a way to solve imports from txt feeds but it involves a lot of Excel and manual operations, I am looking for something more .... "automated".

 

Many thanks,

 

Sergiu

It depends on how the txt file is saved.

 

Prestashop can only handle .csv files (so as you said, you need to change it manually if it's not properly configured)

 

I think there are a bunch  of xml importing modules in the addons store

Import procedure in Store Manager fro Prestashop application allows to download necessary data from a file of csv, xml, xls, xlsx, ods, txt and xml formats to your store. 

Futhermore it is possible to automate import with it’s addon called Automated Product Import: http://www.prestashopmanager.com/useful-articles/how-to/how-to-accomplish-prestashop-cron-import-with-automated-product-import-addon/

The combination of the mentioned products is very good for stores with a large amount of products. Also you will be able to run import locally, so it will not overload your server.
