I am trying to import products using the Techdivision Import CLI application or Pacemaker - Simple Console Tool. Since I am fairly new to this tool, I am having trouble importing some attributes. As a part of the functionality, I am fetching ERP files from another server then parsing the CSV into the importable format, and then initiating the import using the Techdivision Import CLI application. Product import seems to be working fine except for some attributes. I need a way to achieve the following using the Techdivision Import CLI application :
How do I import custom_options for certain products using a CSV file?
We have a provision to assign values to attributes but is there any way to keep the existing values of product attributes intact even during the import? For example, price. During the import process, prices for products are calculated and assigned to products during parsing. Now, sometime we get an incorrect price from the ERP system. In that case, we change the price of that product manually from Magento Backend but this gets overridden during the next scheduled import. I tried assigning null to price in this scenario but it just update the product price with null so I can't assign 0 or null in this column.
I tried going through the documentation of pacemaker to figure out a way to achieve it but didn't get anything from the above scenarios. Here is the link to the documentation Pacemaker - Simple Console Tool

I am working on a new magento website whose design integration and functionality is almost complete. Now before I make the site live I need to import all my existing site data to my magento site. My old site has around 1000 products and is not a magento site. So I will get an excel sheet but its not in the format of magento excel sheet. So when i compare the current excel and create a new excel sheet for magento its very time consuming. So what is the best and speedy method to import products to a magento site. Anybody know please share the idea. It will be very helpful.
To import Products & Customers from another source. we have three option:
export data in CSV compatible with magento and import in magento.
you can use third party paid service for data migartion if it is supported by them. http://www.shopping-cart-migration.com. If you can afford this paid service then it is best time saving solution.
you can create a custom script to import data from csv that is not compatible or direct from external db.
one good product import script url as follows: http://www.fontis.com.au/blog/magento/creating-magento-products-script
For importing Order in magento I will suggest you to use third party service.
first of all I couldn't find this specific problem anywhere on StackOverFlow.
I am trying to import products on my Magento website using Magmi. I have a product CSV with me which I exported using Magento DataFlow.
My problem is this, on Magmi, when I select "Create New Items & Update Existing Items" or "Create New Items & Skip Existing" the SKUs get imported succesfully but they are not visible on the backend. I get no error on Magmi ouput.
However, if I use "Update Existing Items" after I have done the above step, the items become visible in the backend. Hence, to make my items visible on backend I have to import twice, first using Create option and second using the Update option.
Could you help me on this problem as I believe this is not how magmi actually works.
I solved it! I had to explicitly mention "status" to enabled in the CSV file.
I have created new custom module with the admin form like to create new Products. I have created successfully.All are working fine.But now i want to add one more feature to this module. We can import a products by CSV files from system/import/export.
Like this how am i import my fields By CSV files.I have no idea about to do this task.
There(under import) we have an entity types "Products and customers". If i add mine entity type to there is enough? or it have any other solution?
This may not be a direct answer, but Magento comes with a CSV importing function under System -> Import/Export. It seems that you've already discovered this functionality.
So, you could set up a custom import profile, let a customer upload a products.csv via your module and then call the import profile from this module.
Your products.csv has to provide Magento's attribute and values structure you'll see when you export products with the export functionality.
BUT: Magento's default importing functionalities are very limited. F.e. it is not capable of importing configurable products by default. We're using third party modules for these tasks.
