How would this work?

If they can send you an XML/csv/excel file then you can use our addon to import and update products.

Hi,
developer at opencart (cart that I want to import from) ask me do I have specifics to be that I want to be implemented ? So basically if I supply default cs-cart specifics he would do all the job that is nesacary for your addon to run.
So how do I supply him those specifics what are they in cs-cart?
1. I want to import products only from one and only category and one type of the product.
2. Products have title, description, pictures, price, list price, weight, quantity.They do not have features as owner of products puts all as text to description. I want seo name to be generated by cs-cart locally. Really not many fields to import.
All products are unique either 1 in stock either 0 sold and never re stocked! So stock level control is important.
Thanks
Hi its soo useful for xml most mixed transactions is solve simply. But in cs-cart simply and not useful i think. Most xml spreader broadcasting without paying attention to the rules. The need to fix some things in XML.

Hi
You can use a popular xml schema like the one we use for a greek compare machine (https://developer.skroutz.gr/feedspec/)
Onyl thing is that htis is missing the quantity and price list. So he must added by himself. The rest are ok.
The xml import addon can update after first import any changes on this xml if you ever going to use it again. So you can set to update from this xml after the fist timeo only the field quantity and price.
Hopew this helps

Hi,
quantity is very important! It is a live store import would occur, I wish I do not want customers to buy what may be already sold out on other shop. I would need to run some sort of cron to update stock at least few times a day.
What also worries me is your policy
IMPORTANT : This is a semi Custom Addon so we dont offer any kind of upgrade, so in case of upgrade to a newer CS-Cart version of this is not working properly you will have to pay for the full cost of upgrading. Also we dont offer any kind of manual or instructions for Code adaptation, so if you are not an experienced Coder you should buy the Adaptation Service.
When I buy such I expect it to work till 441 (4.3.10 hopefully?) will be released.

Yes update is done through cron as many times as you like per day. THis is no problem nad is also the way clients use it anyway.
As for the policy, this is a vey complicated addon and we have decided to loose some sales instead of having unpleased customers. We have tried to add a kind of XML mapping but unfortunatly not all XMLs are 100% are ok (not alwayscompliant) so this has created many issues. We decided to do it as semi Custom and take the responsibility of XML mapping to be on the safe side, as we also support this mapping if any issues arise.
About the newest version, nobody can guaranty what you are asking for. I wouldnt know thechange they do each time, so an addon that works ok on 439 its not 100% sure it will work in next sub version. It depends on core changes and DB fieldschanges if any etc.
