Bulk Add Products

I have a new installation of the current version just installed.

I need a way to add thousands of products at once including multiple pictures of each product.

How can I accomplish this?

Re: Bulk Add Products

Search the forums and the Plugins area for easy populate.

Re: Bulk Add Products

I wish I could say that easy populate worked but it did not.

It acts as though everything was successful with one problem. No new products are in the database.

I manually added one product and then installed easy populate.

I then downloaded the csv and added 10 test items and then uploaded through the tool. It said it was successful but no new products were added.

Re: Bulk Add Products

I really can't add tens of thousands of products one-at-at-time.

chmod is good for the temp folder and all of the files are in place. It just doesn't add anything.

Re: Bulk Add Products

Download a demo of Magnetic one's Zen Cart Manager.

I love this software.

Not sure if it can do the multiple images thing (ive never tried) but it should get your 10k products in there with ease.

I imported 50k and update around 36k nightly every day with it.
