I’m in contact with CS-Cart Team about development of an “Import/Export” Mod tool that could have these features:
[QUOTE]
EXPORT ORDERS
It could be possibile to export orders with these parameters:
1 - Ability to choose to export orders by date and by order status (paid, new, dispatched, backordered, etc) reflecting CS-Cart order statuses (also extra custom added statuses);
2 - Ability to export all order fields, also extra fields added in customer profile and filled during ordering steps by customers (we added some extra fields, for example “VAT number”, “mobilephone number”, and others and we would like to export them too);
3 - Ability to choose bitween separators for exportation (comma,tab,semicolon,pipe, etc);
4 - Ability to set fields sequence as we like (i.e. field 1, field 2, field 3 but also field 2, field 1, field 3)
5 - Ability to save many “export templates” so that we can store some profiles with specific exportation settings that we could load on demand;
UPDATE PRODUCTS
1- Ability to upgrade products by choosing also only two fields: (example “product code” and “thumbnail” - In this case we’ll use a csv file with only two fields “product code” and "product “thumbnail” and we’ll update thumbnails on “product code” basis - product code will be the matching field to perform updating);
2- Ability to save many “import templates” so that we can store some profiles with specific importation settings that we could load on demand;

I haven’t yet received a quotation from CS-Cart (I hope to get it today), but I think that this mod will not be more expensive…
So I would like to ask you if some one could be interested in this mod too.
I think that we could share mod development as usually (I hope with a minimum of $25.00, as Snorocket done for Tabs mod).
When I’ll receive a reply from CS-Cart about quotation I’ll insert that here, so that we could choose how to share price…
Please let me know replying to this thread or by PM.
creation of extra export functionality for order as described in your request will cost extra $350.
As for products update, could you please specify if you wish to be able to update product options, product features, secondary categories, files(for electronic goods), additional images, wholesale pricing and assigned taxes? This will affect total price of the task.
I don’t know if CS is already working on an extended import/export facility like this one. I asked them a quote because actually I’m using JShop Server 2.0 and it has all these import/export features but I would like to switch to CS-Cart.
I need to export orders every day, so that I can import them into our accounting application.
Also we need a way to update easily existing products by CSV (we receive a complete CSV from our supplier every week): actually we can’t do it easily with CS-Cart (with JSS 2.0 it’s a joke to do…and I would like to do the same with CS-Cart too).
I tried with Navicat but itsn’t simple to export related customer extra fields and other informations. Also I’m not so skilled in queries, so I prefer a customized and original addon to make CS-Cart more flexible and easy to use everyday.
Many thanks,
I’m happy if you’ll be into this mod too…
PS: I also asked them to get a price for importing product features too…I’m waiting for a reply…
CS-Cart Team told me that next to come version will include an extended import/export feature… So we have to choose bitween waiting some weeks for a new CS-Cart release, or asking for a custom project (that also requires some weeks to be done…).

my advice would be to wait and and see because at least you would not have to worry about any upgrade issues that could go wrong in the new version…
