With PrestaShop, you can easily import your data using one of the following options:
- Using the "CSV Import" function in your back office (if you also have an export of .csv instead of this XML file)
- Using the PrestaShop web service (special development required)
- Using existing classes (requires special development)
Below is a quick code snippet that works with your XML string. He will create or update all products and take into account their price, availability, name, description, weight, etc.
Note:
- This code is not intended to work with combinations (color, size, etc.).
- This code does not create categories for you and adds all products to the Home category.
This is just an example that will help you;)
