Hello,

You'll find the "Export" button through the back-end product listing via "Hikashop-&gt;Products".

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

Is it possible to use the Cron functionality to import a products csv file every 5 minutes? To update quantities and add any new products?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes. You can read more about this here:

Observation: Cron via "Create/Edit your cron" I get the following display in a popup: Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy
An error occurred during a connection to [ www.hikashop.com](http://www.hikashop.com).
Firefox v76.0 prevented this page from loading in this context because the page has an X-Frame-Options policy that disallows it."
I get a frown face icon using Chrome.
I works on Safari, guess it's a security step Safari doesn't check.

Question: Can more than import csv be included in the cron? I.e. I'd like to run the csv update script which formats it for import before the import? Or does that need to be set up on the server?

Thanks as always!

Hi,

1. That's something you can allow in your server configuration:
[ geekflare.com/secure-apache-from-clickja...ith-x-frame-options/](https://geekflare.com/secure-apache-from-clickjacking-with-x-frame-options/)

2. If you want to change the formatting of the CSV, that's something you should do before with your own script on the server.
