I don't think there is good free option. I used JMigrator. It costs some dollars but it's does the job as well.
Joomla! 4.3.4

Quote from: Jumbo! on December 12, 2023, 22:00:13 PMYou can use RO CSVI - https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/ro-csvi/.

Can you tell me, since the documentation doesn't seem to specify, if RO CSVI for VM will import products with Multi-Variants, children, multiple prices for quantity discounts?

In other words, import 100% of what capabilities that VM has?

I have a very large project with thousands of products. I'd like to work on the products to create a CSV file to import everything. I'd export from VM to get the field information, complete the cells and then import everything.

Is this software designed for that sort of import?

Same questions for you, @Joozen
I'd be interested to know if there are limitations for the import software.

Thanks.

You found this? https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/importing-multi-variant-custom-field


I use Breakdesigns stockable custom fields for variants and import everything I need with RO CSVI, works well.

RO CSVI can literally do anything. When products have dozens of custom fields, manually adding them directly to Virtuemart is just for masochists. CSVI imports and exports CSV, Excel, XML, etc.

Personally, I have several large stores, which I modify in a Google Spreadsheet and from it export whatever I want to Virtuemart
