Creating a large amount of products

Hi!

I'm importing products from an erp system, > 10 000, and it take some hours to create them using the api. I'm looping through the products and create them one at a time.

What is the best way to import a large number of products so that it doesn't take as long as several hours to complete?

Best regards,

Per

Hi Per

The best way to do that currently is to use the Import/Export module. You need to export your products from you ERP system to an xml format that is understood by the module (or transform it using xslt). You can see the schema in the Product Destination Activity.

Hi!

Does this method include custom product fields too?
