Kind regards, Lumiga")* Hi, The import system is made to be as efficient as possible and insert/update the products in bulk in the database, without going through the standard process and thus without triggering any plugin. So if your issue is that your mass action is not triggered during the import, that's actually normal and the expected behavior. You would have to add the trigger "every minutes" in your mass action in order to run the check separately (and configure your cron task on your server to trigger HikaShop's cront ask every minute) That way, you'll have maximum a 1 minute delay between the import and the free products being unpublished.

Is it possible for you to create the same option like the one at the manual import? And what should it cost?

Kind regards, Lumiga")* Hello, The option you highlighted is an option to force a "default value". If "product_published" is not available ; by default PHP will consider the value as "false", but that option allow to have the opposite behavior. Your request is not in the same logical and can be easily avoided by simply provide the column "product_published" in your CSV. Thanks to that, your import will see a free price and unpublish the product in the same time. No delay, no side effect.
