Description​

ATTENTION: It is very important to try the module with your file on the demo until you are confident about it. Especially if you want to import products from XML/JSON files, you must check your file on the demo in order to make sure it will work as you expected, because XML/JSON files don't have specific structure as it has unlimited depth of nesting and extreme flexibility of structure.

BENEFITS FOR MERCHANTS
  • Easily import products and combinations from CSV, EXCEL ( XLS/XLSX), XML, JSON, TXT files.
  • Just upload your import file and match columns with the right product properties and enjoy flawless bulk import of your data.
  • Regardless of the size of your import file, the module will import all data without any timeout issues.
  • Server timeout problem is resolved by using AJAX and importing data in portions.
  • You can configure CRON Job to import data from any accessible location, for example, URL, File Path, FTP, SFTP.
  • You can update products by Reference, ID, EAN, Supplier Reference, MPN.
  • The module provides many options to configure it according to your needs.
  • You can see progress of import by CRON right in the module page.
  • You can track import history in the “Import Logs” page which provides many useful information about your imports.
  • You can export your products and combinations into CSV, XML, JSON, XLS, XLSX, TXT, ODS files easily.
  • It is possible to automate export process by using CRON Job so that it exports products/combinations at specified time intervals automatically.
  • You can change headers of export columns very easily and you can re-arrange export columns with mouse drag.

Module: Easy Import Products From CSV, EXCEL, XML, JSON, TXT (Version 7.7.2) Source: PrestaShop Addons Marketplace

Overall, the "Easy Import Products" module is a robust and highly flexible tool for managing product data in PrestaShop, especially for stores with large catalogs or those needing regular bulk updates. I've been using version 7.7.2, and it offers significant advantages over manual entry or the basic PrestaShop importer, although it's not without its challenges.

Pros:

  1. Wide Format Support: As the name suggests, its ability to handle various file types (CSV, Excel, XML, JSON, TXT) is a major strength. This provides great flexibility depending on your data source or supplier file formats.
  2. Comprehensive Data Handling: The module typically allows importing a wide range of product data, including names, descriptions, prices, quantities, categories, manufacturers, suppliers, images (often by URL or path), combinations/variants, features, and specific prices. This depth is crucial for complex catalogs.
  3. Advanced Mapping: It usually offers a detailed mapping interface, allowing you to precisely link columns in your source file to the corresponding PrestaShop fields. This customization is essential for handling non-standard file layouts.
  4. Time Savings: For bulk operations (initial product load, large-scale updates, migrations), this module is a massive time-saver compared to adding or editing products one by one through the back office.
  5. CRON Job / Scheduled Imports: Many advanced import modules like this one offer the ability to set up automated imports via CRON jobs. This is invaluable for tasks like daily stock level updates from a supplier feed.
  6. Update Existing Products: Beyond just creating new products, the module usually excels at updating existing ones based on a reference (like product ID, reference code, or EAN), which is vital for ongoing maintenance.
Cons:

  1. Learning Curve & Complexity: The flexibility comes at a price. Setting up an import profile, especially for the first time or with complex data (like combinations or multi-language fields), can be complicated and time-consuming. Understanding PrestaShop's data structure and carefully mapping fields is crucial and can be daunting for beginners.
  2. File Preparation Sensitivity: Imports are often very sensitive to the exact format of the source file (encoding, delimiters, structure). Minor errors in the file can lead to failed imports or corrupted data, requiring careful file validation before importing.
  3. Performance on Large Files: While designed for bulk operations, importing extremely large files (tens of thousands of products or more, especially with many images) can strain server resources (memory, execution time). This might require server configuration tweaks or splitting the import into smaller batches.
  4. Troubleshooting Errors: While the module likely provides logs, deciphering error messages can sometimes be difficult if the issue stems from subtle data inconsistencies or complex mapping configurations.
  5. Cost: As a premium module from the Addons Marketplace, it represents an investment compared to free or built-in solutions.
  6. Potential Conflicts: As with any third-party module, there's always a small chance of conflicts with other custom modules or specific theme functionalities, though reputable modules aim for broad compatibility.
Conclusion:

The "Easy Import Products" module (v7.7.2) is a powerful workhorse for PrestaShop store owners who need efficient and flexible bulk product management. Its extensive format support and detailed mapping capabilities are significant assets. However, be prepared to invest time in learning its configuration and meticulously preparing your data files. It's best suited for users comfortable with data manipulation and who manage catalogs large enough to justify the cost and initial setup effort. For simple, infrequent imports, the default PrestaShop tools might suffice, but for serious E-commerce operations, this module is often a worthwhile investment.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5 stars) - Deducting one star primarily for the initial complexity/learning curve.
