We have developed the XML import add-on that sets you free from dull manual upload of products from your suppliers’ catalogs to your store. You only need to get the XML table from your suppliers and import it to your store. The product database will be uploaded automatically, all the following changes in the catalogs will be synchronized with your store automatically by means of the CRON script.
Features
- Input numerous XML feeds from different suppliers via admin panel.
- Scan fields and attributes of the XML feed for the dynamic setting of fields matching.
- Add products missing from the database.
- Update products in the database.
- Import products automatically by scheduling a CRON script.
- Process multiple settings:
a. Name and description
b. VAT
c. Main and additional images
d. Features
e. Prices and stock
f. Categories and subcategories
- Modify prices during import. You can add extra charges to the vendor’s prices.
- Enjoy prompt work of the script.
- Configure the input fields up to your needs. For example, you can import the whole catalog every 24 hours and update prices and stock every 5 minutes.
I will be glad to answer all your questions about the add-on.

This looks very promising, am very interested in this addon. My cart is 437 so I suppose it is better to upgrade store to 438 for this addon to work?
Another question, shop I want to import products is based on opencart, owners developer can prepare xml specifics according to my needs, how can I make my import easier, what should data should I supply to this developer so the fields would be mapped easier?

No, you do not need to upgrade your store. We will adapt our add-on for you for free.

You can import file with any fields. Please look at the screenshot:
The items in "Field name" column are the fields from your file, and the items in the "Field type" are the fields in CS-Cart. So you can ask the developers to make the fields as similar to the CS-Cart product fields as possible. Then you can easily match them.

Hi, yes but these are language variables I mean code.
The fields are taken from the cscart_products, cscart_product_descriptions, cscart_product_prices, cscart_product_features, cscart_product_features_descriptions.
Also can you confirm that is will not work with 437 out of the box? I do not want to do site upgrade from 437 till 441 comes out.
I can confirm that the add-on will work on CS-Cart 4.3.7. When CS-Cart 4.4.1 is released, we will also upgrade our add-on.
The fields are taken from the cscart_products, cscart_product_descriptions, cscart_product_prices, cscart_product_features, cscart_product_features_descriptions.
All the fields are the same as in default product import except product features. But actually, you do not need to care about the code, you may call the fields in file as you want, then you will just match them with the CS-Cart fields. Please clarify why do you need the code.
I am glad to inform you that the XML Import add-on is compatible with CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.3.x. If you need compatibility with another CS-Cart version, please contact us at sales@simtechdev.com.
I am sorry, but it is still not completely clear for me.
Imagine that you have some suppliers. They send you the XML file with the product data. With our add-on you do not have to update the products manually, you can import the XML file with any fields.
