This extension adds product import functionality to Solidus, with a bunch of features that give it similar functionality to Shopify's importer.

This extension adds a tab to the administration area of Solidus, allowing a logged-in user to select and upload a file in any of the supported formats containing product information. The upload is then placed on queue for processing. Once it has been processed, the user who initiated the job is notified by email that their import has completed.

History and attribution

The product import script was based on a simple import script written by Brian Quinn here. Then it was extended by Josh McArthur (2010). After that by 2beDigital team. Finaly after all that, I've made some big estructural changes and here we are.
