I'm a little stuck as to how to proceed so I'm attaching an inventory file from my wholesaler so you can see more of what I need. The first thing I need to do is create a manufacturer category if it doesn't already exist and then assign that as the brand to the product. Based on different conditions of the csv file I need to assign the product to categories that are already created. For example: - if the csv line's caliber is not empty and the gun type is empty and the mag capacity is empty the product will need to be assigned to the ammunition category when created - if the csv line's caliber is not empty and the gun type is not empty and the mag capacity is not empty the product will need to be assigned to the firearms category when created - if the csv line's caliber is not empty and the gun type is empty and the mag capacity is not empty the product will need to be assigned to the magazines category when created Would it be possible to do this with mass actions? If so how do I go about that? If not I did come across this thread [ ](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/3958-how-to-add-the-products-through-api.html)[ www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/3958-how...cts-through-api.html](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/3958-how-to-add-the-products-through-api.html) and thought it may be helpful with a custom plugin. Would I need to parse through the csv file with a loop and storing those lines into an array so they can be manipulated to be able to do something like in this thread? *This attachment is hidden for guests.

HikaShop actually already comes with an import plugin which can automatically import CSV files at a certain frequency: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/7...hop-import.html#cron](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/73-hikashop-import.html#cron) So you can copy that plugin to create your own and add your own custom processing to do the changes you need to before or after the import.

For example, you could just run some MySQL queries on the products to update the data based on your needs after the import. You you could do some search and replace in the CSV content before the import. That's up to you. I'm sorry but we can't spend half a day to code something for you as an example.

Every morning at a set time they update their inventory file and every 10 minutes they update their inventory quantity file. Is it possible to create a plugin to use the cron to once a day import and overwrite the inventory file and for each item that does not have a quantity of 0 create products into specific categories based on the description of the item in the csv file? If so, I would also like the plugin to import and overwrite the inventory quantity file every 15 minutes and update the stock for the items imported in the inventory file.")* Hi, If you're talking about the tags of the tags field in the product edition page, there is actually no system to either import or export them via the export/import of HikaShop. That's because HikaShop actually doesn't store the information. As HikaShop integrates with Joomla for that feature, it's Joomla which stores the data and we don't have a lot of control over it. We can't easily insert/update the tags in batches like we do with the rest of the product data. I would thus recommend to either not use the tags system but instead use a custom product field, or write your own code in your plugin to import the tags to the Joomla ucm, although that second option won't be easy.

I've got one new thing I'm trying to figure out now. My inventory file has changed now and has price breaks for different quantities purchased of a product. I have 2 different price groups dependent on the user. How can I write my csv file to provide these price breaks dependent on quantity? Do I use the "|" character somewhere? I'm already using this to separate the prices for the different user groups like ",5.00|10.00," Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2ltcG9ydC1leHBvcnQtY3N2LXhscy84ODkyMjMtd2hvbGVzYWxlci1pbnZlbnRvcnktaW1wb3J0LXBsdWdpbj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86308 - Thank you received: 14273 - - 8 years 5 months ago [\#292148](#292148) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Wholesaler inventory import plugin](/forum/37-import-export-csv-xls/889223-wholesaler-inventory-import-plugin#292148 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3 -- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5 -- PHP version -- : 5.3.24 I work with a wholesaler that provides their inventory in csv files for download.

I would recommend to create one product with the prices exactly like you want, through the interface of the backend. Then, select that product on the listing of products and click the "export" button. That way, you'll get a CSV with your categories structure and only that product data. so you'll be able to check the different columns for the price: price_access, price_value and price_min_qty to see how it's done exactly for your case.
