Is there a faster way to load 100.000+ products ?

Hi again guys let me know if is another way to add more then 100.000 products to the site in this moment i have added 1000 manualy
i have the lists of products in excel format.Let me know if is another way to add the products on the site

This might help http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1240

Search around on the forum for more info on Easy Populate. I haven't used it myself, so I'm not familiar with it.

My problem is how to add the product list more easyer than i do right now , manually.I know that is a script like xml that support to add the liste and when the manufactur change the price the price to our shom will automaticaly change.
The question is:

Can we have another way to add products not manually with product name description qty price picture etc ?

We got more then 10 excel files with 10.000 products.
The only way that i found is to conect 10 users to add 100 products per day wich mean 1000 products per day and we need 100 days to add 100.000 products :-) gosh

i have upload the files to my server but i do not understand how to create or wich csv to import can somebody tech me how can i add more products with this easy populate an picture example or something like this a link to can view what this option really do.
please
thanks

afo mentioned Easy Populate in post #2. That's probably your best bet.

Our company make commerce with electronics and IT&C
So this mean is more then 100000+ but we need to put just 100.000 in 25 categories and 200 subcategories.
I mean we do not add the products in one category of course we select the products type ,model , manufacturer wich criteria is included etc.

So i repet my question:

Does we have another way to add products not manyaly like we do right now?

I have 10 refrigereder i want to add them instantly without picture i can add picture manualy no problem i need the sort way to add detalies price stock and thats it.On the next category i will do the same. I hope u understand now what im talking about
Best wishes everyone :lamo:

As previous posts have said , Easy populate is your way forward.

Fantastic mod which i have used myself on afew shop sites now. I have used it to add in over 1000 prodcuts at once. And it works a treat.

You may need to break your files down into slightly smaller chunks as you do have a vast amount of proudcts to upload.

Easy Populate is the only way I know of to make this happen.

I have 50,000ish products and 245 categories and sub-categories. What you're trying to do is completely doable. The categorization process will get tedious, but it beats the crap out of adding products manually. You'd need a team of people working 40 hrs a week for months to get that done.

You will need these two things.

In order to get a .csv template file, export the products you have already added via the Easy Populate area in Admin-->Tools-->Easy Populate.

As mentioned before, easy populate is the only way you're going to get this done. Best of luck to you.

Oh yeah, and as Ooba_Scott mentioned, you will need to break the items up into, at the most, 500-1000 product .csv's. This can be managed quite easily with a .csv splitter, which are available for free on lots of different sites. Just type in .csv splitter in your search engine, you'll find one.
