Thank you for your help!")* Hi, Your CSV specify the product_id ; so if in your store there are already product with these product_id, the import won't create new items, it will just update them. If you want new products, you need to remove the column from the CSV file. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
