Anyone experienced with CSV import/export on PrestaShop?

[lele]

Hey everyone,
I’m working on a project in PrestaShop and I’m running into some issues with using CSV files to import and manage products.


I’ve tried the built-in import function, but the fields don’t always match up correctly — especially when it comes to combinations/variants, images, and multiple categories.
Does anyone here have experience with setting up CSVs properly to avoid errors or duplicates?


I’m not looking for anything too advanced, just some practical advice on how to structure the file (or if there’s a better tool/method for handling product import/export).


Any tips, guides, or quick pointers would be really appreciated.

Well, importing from PrestaShop is crap. I recommend using an external module, this "simpleproductimport" for PrestaShop. Using this module and creating CSVs like the example above will save you a lot of headaches.
