ICEcat Product Import for Hikashop

| HikaShop

Once that ICEcat settings are done as per the document Setting up ICEcat data,  Product import can be done as a normal import. Make sure the template settings are done as per the linked document since it is not explained here.

An example import for Hikashop is explained below.

 Required fields for Hikashop product import

  • product_code
  • brand
CSVI would identify the product details using product_code and brand from ICEcat tables. The other fields required can also be added to the import template fields. This example will explain how product_description can be imported from ICEcat table to Hikashop product table.

An example CSV file would look like

product_code brand product_description
80D0846 LEXMARK ACCESSORIES  
14V0801 LEXMARK ACCESSORIES  
CSVI will now look for matching product information in ICEcat table using the above product_code and brand fields and imports product_description to the Hikashop product table.

Please note the above import happens only if ICEcat option is set to Yes in template options else product_description will be read from csv file or nothing will be imported if empty.

 

If any fields which are not needed to be populated by ICEcat data can be selected from Skip fields option and CSVI will ignore those fields.

It is also possible to set a default variant while importing products in HikaShop. To do that, add field default_variant to the import file and set the value to 1 or Yes or Y for the product which needs to be set as default variant. Example content is given below

category_path,product_code,product_parent_code,product_type,product_name,product_description,product_published,size,default_variant
 Pet Supplies/Pet Collars/Nylon Collars,1001,,main,Sample product 1,Sample product 1 description,1,Please select,
 Pet Supplies/Pet Collars/Nylon Collars,1001L,1001,variant, Child product L, Child Product L size,1,L,
 Pet Supplies/Pet Collars/Nylon Collars,1001XL,1001,variant, Child product XL, Child Product XL,1,XL,1
 Pet Supplies/Pet Collars/Nylon Collars,1001XXL,1001,variant, Child product XXL, Child Product XXL size,1,XXL,
 Pet Supplies/Pet Collars/Nylon Collars,1001XXXL,1001,variant, Child product XXXL, Child Product XXXL size,1,XXXL,
 Pet Supplies/Pet Collars/Nylon Collars,1002,main,Sample product 2,Sample product 2 description,1,

After import the default variant in HikaShop will be set with the parent product. To check that go to Joomla administrator menu >> Components >> HikaShop >> Products >> Products. Click on the parent product from the imported category and check the Variants tab.

RO CSVI will add price to 'all' usergroup as default for new prices if price_access field is not included in import file. For old prices, RO CSVI will look if the usergroup imported in price_access_new field is a valid one else will skip the import of price.

An example for importing a new product price

"product_code";"product_price";"price_access"
"JWL-01";"100";"Editor"

To update price to any new usergroup, set the price_access_new field to new usergroup and price_access to already set usergroup in database so csvi would identify the price row which has to be updated with combination of price_access and product_price field from the import file. If any of these do not match, RO CSVI would insert a new price for the product.

An example for updating price usergroup would look like

"product_code";"product_price";"price_access";"price_access_new"
"JWL-01";"100";"Editor";"all"
