Adding new products in bulk
(1/1)
fdangelo:
My question is:
Is it feasible to add a large number of products by using the import method?
I have 6 products, and I need to duplicate them 7 times, while changing their product code and destination.
Then I need to duplicate that set and put in a different price, giving me 84 products.
I created the first 6 products and exported the list to Excel.
It would be a simple matter to put in the required formulas to create my desired list.
Then I will import the new product list into Abantecart.
Does that sound right?
I know it's intuitive: import means import, but I just want to be sure.
I'm concerned about product id's, if there is any cross referencing I'm not aware of, do I have to delete existing products from the import list to prevent duplicates, etc.
Thank you.

Have you discovered the cloning feature in AbanteCart?

Having followed your posts for a bit - It seems that you have several different specifics to address, the locations, assignment to different categories , etc.
You might find cloning is simpler and faster in the overall - And since it actually makes a (copy) of your product it assigns correct id etc. you just need to change the Name and perhaps a category

Thank you for your help.
I re-read the description and understood in a much clearer way.
I've since been able to put that strategy to work for me.
