Add New Item To All Stores

General General Questions

If we have many storefronts and want to add a new item to all of them, can this be done automatically or via the API?

If there are 20 storefronts it would be a ton of manual work to add 10 new products and select the category for each of them as described on this page: http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.6.x/user_guide/stores/sharing.html#share-products-configurable-sharing

It doesn't even look like an admin for the individual stores can add the product themselves since the stores can't see the product until a global admin user has added it to a category for them.

Сartrover-will, there is a Import / Export feature that is presented in CS-Cart by default. Using it, you can upload/edit bulk data import and export in the CSV format.
To import or export data, go to Administration → Import data or Administration → Export data respectively.
Please check the following article in our User Guide for details:
http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.6.x/user_guide/import_export/index.html

Kindly note, that an admin of a certain store can add products to his store.

I hope this is helpful.

You can add secondary category via import from CSV as my colleague suggested or use CS-Cart API to interact with a store (http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.6.x/developer_guide/api/index.html)

Will it work if secondary category belongs to another store-front?

Yep, you just need to perform import under All stores mode

Here is an example of the CSV file:

Product code;Language;Product id;Category;Store;Secondary categories
"U0012O5AF0";"en";"12";"Apparel///Men's Clothing";"store1";"store2:Apparel///Men's Clothing"

where product belongs to store1 and store2 is the name of the second storefront

Could it be imported with one CSV (under all stores) in case of different languages? so far it never worked.

Means:

Product code 123 language EN Store A

Product code 123 language DE Store B

Product code 123 language FR Store C

or

Product code 123en language EN Store A

Product code 123de language DE Store B

Product code 123fr language FR Store C
