Hi Nicolas,

My problem is that when I import my products with characteristics, there is "No stock" in frontend for all my variants of that products even there is "-1" for the quantity for the product and for all its variants - see attached csv. I imported only one product to show you the problem and to make the csv as small as possible for the purpose of your help...

This is what I did:
I made a csv file with all products (all done the same way as the one attached to this message).
I created one Characteristic named "Varianta" with about 1500 values and imported it as a table in phpmyadmin.
Then I imported my product to Hikashop.
Product shoved, but to see the characteristic with correct prices in frontend I had to open that product in backend and add characteristics (that one called "Varianta" which I imported in phpmyadmin) to it. After saving - the correct prices and correct characteristics showed in frontend, but everything is out of stock - even there are "unlimited" quantities in product details in backend.

1. What to do to make the product in stock?
2. How to make all the characteristics(variants of product set in characteristics) show with correct prices immediately after importing without having to open each product, add characteristics and save it? It is quiet annoying when you have about 1000 products and all with characteristics...

The stock is correct. The problem is that you have the product_published column in your CSV with an empty value for each variant. Thus, the variants are unpublished. Because of that, the system doesn't allow you to buy them.
Just set "1" in the product_published column of your CSV and it will work.
That will solve both problems.

Hi I'm having the same problems, since I updated to the essentials version. I did'nt added the products using CSV I created the product and the variants on the back-end and it was working alright.

Hi,

Are you sure that your products and variants are published, and have a quantity of "-1" ?

Sorry didn't reply early, Yes there were variants and there were published, and had a quantity of "-1".
I fixed the problem, but it require for me to delete this products and re-created all the info, luckily this happened on only 3 products, they are showing fine now, but still don't know what was the problem.
Like I mention before, this happen when I updated to Essentials version.
