What is the problem?")* There is no such information anywhere. What you can do is a CSV export of VM2 products data and import it in HikaShop after modifying the column names in Excel in order to match the ones of HikaShop. Will we do it ? Why not. Is there a timeframe ? No. We have a long long list of features. That one is not a priority for now.

I would recommend you to hire someone to do that for you if you can't do it yourself.
