Is it possible to use CSVI Pro(we have subscription for it) for importing the icecat features based on product GTIN? We actually have the GTIN code but not the product's Part Number. I looked into the debug logs and it seems like its using the SKU's to query icecat data which I guess is wrong.

Is it possible to do such thing? Thanks

Hello,
In your product import template on Options tab, set Import based on field to be product_gtin instead of product_sku and save the template. Run the import and check.
Kind regards,

I tried to run the template based on product_gtin but I am still seeing things in the log like:

2017-10-26 08:58:35 24 [DEBUG] Found ICEcat mpn reference: 887930005110
2017-10-26 08:58:35 24 [DEBUG] Found ICEcat manufacturer name: KODAK
2017-10-26 08:58:35 24 [DEBUG] Find the ICEcat ID for manufacturer KODAK and part number 887930005110

Shouldn't it say anything about gtin instead of mpn?

Thanks

Hello,

Tharuna's answer is related to importing the data into VirtueMart but your question is about retrieving the ICEcat data based on GTIN. This is not possible because the ICEcat index file doesn't have the GTIN value. They do have an ean_upc field but this field is more empty than filled. So you cannot reliably get data from it. So CSVI uses 3 ways to try and find a product. That is the product ID, if not found it will search for product IDs that are similar (if set in the template), if then still nothing is found it will look for the manufacturer product ID. These are the prod_id and m_prod_id fields.

I don't even see a field that represents the GTIN value in the index file. The ean_upc field is not long enough to match your GTIN number. I don't see this working I am afraid.
Kind regards,
