astrocoder Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hello guys, so i have a online shop and i want to import products in mass without losing time going to dashboard clicking add new product and do everything, i've bought this (link) prestashop theme but theres no instructions of adding products in mass. What is the best and fastest way to add products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daresh Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The best way is to have them prepared in a CSV file and import using a built in import CSV functionality (in advanced -> CSV import) or additional modules (like this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried csv import but didnt work as well as i think, you think a module will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daresh Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Some import modules can hadle excel files, without the need to convert to CSV. But still if you want to import the products you need to have images somewhere online, for the shop to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daresh Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Actually, the 500 error often occurs when the import times out, then you can try to split the data into smaller chunks. If it occurs right away then something may be wrong in the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iryna Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hello! Most likely you have set incorrect file delimiters, since fields have not been parsed, as it comes on your screenshot. Return to previous step and set correct separator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
