I am using Prestashop 1.5.4 and we get bulk product updates for suppliers frequently in form of CSV. The pre-built Prestashop import module worked great when we want to add new products to the system. However, the problem occurred when the CSV list contains both addition and modification of existing products.
we can update the list if there is a fixed operation with the achievable amount of products, but things get hectic when the number goes into 100s and process become repetitive.
Hence, I am looking for an automated way which could help in both updates and creates a dynamic number of products.
Recommendations and solutions are much appricatates.
Thanks in advance
First off, i would recommend updating to a higher PS version.
Secondly there are enough 'free' modules that could help you, but in overall this is mainly a server issue, because out of the box Prestashop is able to handle the product updates quite nicely.
