Best way to import custom products into Magento

Question

What is the best way to import custom products into Magento from CSV. I saw several different methods:

• MySQL direct statements
• Using Magento Objects
• Data stream

Can anyone advise me on a better method for this?

Answer 1

Check out Magmy. This is amazing.

Answer 2

Yes, the best option, as I know, is the Magento Mass Importer (MAGMI) . Its not a module for Magento, but it works separately . Uses direct SQL for data manipulation and has nice reindexing, nice features.
