-- HikaShop version -- : 3.2.2
-- Joomla version -- : latest
-- PHP version -- : 6.5

I'm going to install Joomla and I'm willing to buy Hikashop Business.

My needs:
I have a product catalogue that I need to keep always update with the Dropshipper's catalogue, in order to have the updated price and to know if the products are "in stock" or "out of stock".

I know that no plugin have been developed, so I cannot use API.

1- The dropshipper provide me only XLS, CSV, XML. What is the best format to use with HIKASHOP?
2- With HIKASHOP BUSINESS will be possible to keep update e synchronized the catalogue (including foto, description, price) and it will be possible to set my MARKUP for all items imported?
3- HIKASHOP BUSINESS allows the Autocurrency update but is it possibile to set a customized conversion? As there is a foreign exchange risk, it is important that the update also includes a few cents 0.03 in my favor. E.g.: Like the banck change.
4- I need each synchronized item (wear/accessories), it should be published and updated (through a menu - e.g. dropdown).
5- I need the following field:
BRAND (several brand)
CATEGORIES (Woman/Man)
GENDER (Male/Female)
SEASON (Winter/ Summer)

In order to make a search and apply the filter.

With HIKASHOP Business will be possible to do all this?

Hi,

1. The best is to use the CSV.

2. Yes. HikaShop has a automatic CSV import plugin which can add a markup on the price in the CSV:

3. Yes. For each currency you have both a rate (that you can update automatically) and a fee (which goes on top of the rate).

4. I don't understand your question here.

5. You can create custom product fields via the menu Display>custom fields. These custom fields can be used in the CSV import system, and you can create filters based on them :

I don't see any field where to set the markup for all product (amount or %). Can you explain better?

So, I don't need to add a markup column in a csv. Right?
In the field do I have to add a % value?

Yes. For example, if you enter 20, it will add a 20% markup to the prices in the CSV.
