Import CSV files into your Prestashop store via psqqq.com


PSQQQ allows you to do full automation for products update and sync from any CSV files for your Prestashop stores.
You can add new suppliers CSV files itself or to ask us to do that for you by request.

Find below how it looks inside our software for Prestashop.

       

Step 1 – Feed configuration for Prestashop CSV import


There are several options exist how to upload CSV file
— from PC
— from URL, FTP, Dropbox, Google sheets etc.
— from Email
— sometimes it is necessary to download file from supplier website under client's login & password (it is possible but will require custom development)
 

Video instructions – creating a supplier's feed and uploading a file

 

Step 2 – CSV format selection during CSV Prestashop import


— by default, the system does not know the format of file you defined,
— clever algorithm tries to detect format itself (in your case CSV file) for Prestashop
— if you see any issue with format detection, you can set the right variant manually
   

Step 3 – Encoding for CSV, delimiter and wrapper before CSV import into Prestashop


— there are many ways how CSV file can be saved
— software has to be ready to open common variants of CSV file for Prestashop
— clever algorithm tries to detect all options automatically
— at this image, you see detection result for specific file
— client can change options if you see issues manually
   

Video instructions – encoding for CSV, delimiter and wrapper before CSV import into Prestashop

 

Step 4 – Columns definition for CSV file


— each file for Prestashop import has columns
— user has to define what column contains names, what column contains prices. It is columns matching
— there are 2 ways how to do that for CSV file at PSQQQ
1) via column definition
2) via product model fields definition(advanced mode – extended settings)
 

Step 4.1 — Loading categories

1) If the categories and subcategories are located in different columns, then to load them, you need to define the name of the columns as Category1, Category2, etc.

2) If the categories and subcategories are located in the same cell, then we define the column name as CategoryMultivalued. Then go to the Extended Settings in the Categories tab, in the CategoryDelimiter line, enter the separator between the category and the subcategory. In my example, this is a slash.

   

Video instructions – Loading categories

 

Step 4.2 — Loading basic product data

Basic information about the product – SKU, Name (required fields for downloading), Price, Quantity, etc. To load them, you need to correctly match the column names.

 

Video instructions – Loading basic product data

 

Step 4.3 — Uploading images

1) If the links to the images are located in separate columns, then you need to define the name for each column as “Image 1 (URL)”

2) If all links to images are located in one column in one cell, we define the column name as “Image1 (URL)”. Next, go to the Extended Settings → Images tab, in the "ImagesDelimiter" line, enter the separator between the images.

   

Video instructions – Uploading images

 

Step 4.4 — Loading features

1)Bulk loading of features. If the columns with features in the file go one after the other, then for the first column with the feature, we define the name as "FeatureFirst", the names and values of the remaining columns will be loaded automatically.

2) If the columns with features are out of order in the file, then the columns with features are defined as "Feature1", "Feature2" and so on. And enter the name of the feature in the "FeatureName" lines in the Extended Settings in the Features tab.

   

Video instructions – Loading features

Step 4.5 — Loading products with variants

1)To load products with variants, there must be a column with an SKU in the file that will combine all the variants (we define it as an SKU) and for each variant a column with its own unique SKU (we define the column as a CombinationSku). In the Extended Settings → the Combinations tab, we enter from which columns to take values for Price, Quantity, Image, etc.

2)Be sure to download the options variants — this is what distinguishes one product variant from another, for example, it may be the size or color of the product. To do this, we define columns with options as "Combination. Option1", "Combination. Option2”, etc., and in the Extended settings → the Combinations tab, in the "OptionName" lines, enter the name of the options.

Import XML files into your Prestashop store!


PSQQQ allows you to do full automation for products update and sync from any XML files for your Prestashop stores.
You can add new suppliers XML files itself or to ask us to do that for you by request.

Find below how it looks inside our software for Prestashop

 

Step 1 – Feed configuration


There are several options exist how to upload XML file
— from PC
— from URL, FTP, Dropbox, Google sheets etc.
— from Email
— sometimes it is necessary to download file from supplier website under client's login & password (it is possible but will require custom development)
 

Video instructions - creating a supplier's feed and uploading a file

 

Step 2 – XML format selection


— by default, the system does not know the format of file you defined,
— clever algorithm tries to detect format itself (in your case XML file) for Prestashop
— if you see any issue with format detection, you can set the right variant manually

Step 3 — XML tags definition for XML file


— each XML file for Prestashop import has tags

— user has to define what XML contains names, what column contains prices. It is columns matching
— there are 2 ways how to do that for XML file at PSQQQ
1) via tags definition

Step 4 — Define XPath for required fields of your XML file

A standard XML file consists of two blocks: a block with categories and a block with a product card. A block with a product card may include a sub-block with images, a block with characteristics, a block with product variants

 

Video instructions - Xml file structure

 
  

Step 4.1 — categories

 

1) First, we define the root elements that contain categories and input them in the lines "Category._Item" and "Category._Root". The XPath to the root elements is inputed through "//"

2) Next, we input XPath for the attributes of the "category" tag: "id" and "parentId". XPath to the attributes is inputed via "//@"

3) Input XPath for the category name. To do this, we need to extract the values of the "Category" tag. The XPath for the category name will be "//text()"

4) Each product card has a tag that indicates which category this product has. Usually this tag is called "CategoryID". The XPath for "CategoryID" is inputed in the line "Product.CategoryId"

   

Video instructions - Input XPath for the category

 

Step 4.2 — a product

1) We define the root elements that contain the product card and input their XPath in the "Product._Root" and "Product._Item" lines. In some files there is no root element "Product._Root", in this case we input only "Product._Item"

 

Video instructions - Root element of product card

 

2) Then input the XPath to the values of the SKU (required input field), Name, Quantity, Price, etc.

 

Video instructions - The XPath to the values of the data

   

Step 4.3 — images

1) If the images are a separate block in the product card, then input the XPath to the root elements of the block with images and the tag that contains the link to the image

2) If the link to the image is registered as a separate tag in the product card, then input the XPath to the link in the line "Product.ImageUrl"

   

Video instructions - import images

 

Step 4.4 — features

1)If the features are located in a separate block in the product card, then input the XPath to the root elements of the block in the lines "Product.Features_Item" and "Product.Features_Root"

2) The XPath to the name and value of the feature is inputed in the lines "Product.Feature Name" and "Product.Feature Value"

3) If the features is located in the product card, then input the XPath to it in the line "Product.FeaturesExtra". First we input the name of the features, then "[--->]" and the XPath to the features. If there are several such features, then the separator between them will be - "[next]".

 

Step 4.5 — products with variants

1)Import product variants is similar to importing a product, first we also define the root elements of the block with product variants and input the XPath to them in the lines "Variant._Root" and "Variant._Item""

 

Video instructions - The root elements of the block with product variants

 

2) Next, input the XPath to the product variant data that you need to download

 

Video instructions - The XPath to the product variant data

 

3) product options with variants. If the options of products with variants are located in the file by separate tags, then input the XPath to it in the line "Variant.OptionsExtra". First, input the name of the option, then "[--->]" and the XPath to the option. If there are several such options, then the separator between them will be - "[next]"."

4) If the product options with variants are located in a separate block, then input the XPath to the root elements of the block in the lines "Variant.Options_Root" and "Variant.Options_Item". The XPath to the name and value of the option is inputed in the lines "Variant.Option Name" and "Variant.Option Value"
