I did. Our distributor sent us a large product export file in the form of a pipeline delimited (|) CSV file. After reading the import/export documentation for AbanteCart, I manually created my first product, then was able to successfully export a CSV file, as instructed, to serve as my import template. Was working with Excel 2010 at the time, although I just recently was able to upgrade to the 2016 Office Suite. However, though it seemed I configured the CSV file for product importation according to the documentation (inserting the new column with "action" in the header row and "input" in the cells below), but I was never able to successfully import any products via the CSV file. I did however, convert it to a .txt and changed the delimiter, seeming to finally achieve a successful mass product import. I even confirmed that the additional rows/products had been added by browsing the associated products table in PHPmyAdmin, yet AbanteCart would not display the newly added data. I've been manually entering products one at a time while I attempt to figure this out because deadlines are approaching, but we have a large inventory and it would save my countless hours of work to find a solution to this. Thank you for your response!!
