Importing products and categories from a YML file into OpenCart
The OpenCart YML Import extension will help you easily import products from different vendors that provide an XML file with YML markup. It allows you to import even large files as it splits the file into parts, but importing large files may take longer.
Exclusion from import of certain categories of goods and manufacturers
YML Import is a multi-purpose module for importing products, categories, manufacturers, and attributes into OpenCart. Thanks to the flexible settings, you can import data from any yml uploads, because the fields can be customized to the file. You can easily upload thousands of products with up-to-date prices, descriptions, images, attributes, stocks, and other data in just a few clicks.
The OpenCart import YML module adds a quick link to the admin menu for easy access to vendor profiles. Here you can create profiles for importing different files, customizing each of them individually.
Extension installation instructions:
Upload the module in the admin panel in the "Extensions" : "Install".
Go to the "Modifications" section and update the cache.
Go to the "Dashboard" section and update the template cache (only for OpenCart 3).
Go to the "Extensions" : "Extensions" : "Modules" and enable the module.
Edit module. Enable the status and adjust all its options to your needs and save the settings.
Check extension operation.
