Description

This module allows to import from arrays and thus using any import source, while the Magento module only imports from files. ImportExport exists since Magento 1.5 CE / 1.10 EE, image import since 1.6 CE / 1.11 EE. Thus, this module needs at least one of those versions. ImportExport has a special import format. See specifications about the expected format.

Main Features:

• Fast Import using the built in Magento module ImportExport
• Partial Indexing of only the imported products available
• Unit tests for many test cases included
• Importing of additional entities: Categories, Category-Product relations
• Improved error messages stating which values are expected instead of a given value

Please see our documentation for a full list of features.
