Import Products

Anyone found a solution to import / export products / categories for VM 2?

Yes
(export/import from/to what?  ...try to describe more precisely what you intend to do)

Import a CSV of Products and Categories into Virtuemart 2.0
and export products / categories from Virtuemart 2.0 to a CSV

If you want to export/import data from VM 1.1.x to VM 2, VM2 has a built in migration tool. For other purposes I prefer to export/import tables as sql data using either "phpmyadmin" or "HeidiSQL". The latter supports export/import in various formats (never tried anything else than sql myself).

Thanks, but its for a new site, VM 1.1.x isn't installed.  Using import / export by phpMyAdmin would only work temporarily. I was hoping there was a simple tool prebuilt that we could extend, but I guess it needs to be built.

Hello,
If you have data in CSV files, you can use CSV Advanced component to import data into Virtuemart 2.x

Of course there is CSVI the long time import/export solution for VirtueMart and now also supports other components and VirtueMart add-ons.

as for me the most convenient import solution was a SaaS. It imported all my products with categories and all information in a few hours and saved me lots of nerves now I am planning to set scheduled catalogue update, I think it will be much more productive then doing it every time on my own.
