Will this still work with this mod?

Our importer is completely separate from X-carts. So changes to X-cart's importer won't effect ours.

Ours will not die if there are any issues with an individual product. It will simply just skip that product if it does not have enough information to create the product and it will log it to a log file for later reference. Images are not necessary to create a product, so it will just update/create the product and move on without the image.

The fields that are required to create a product are:
productcode (sku)
product (product title/name)
forsale
category
price

If you simply want to use it to update prices, quantities, etc all you need is the productcode column and then what ever field you want to update.

I hope that helps. It's highly configurable. If you have a simple file though, configuring it is easy. If you have more complicated needs (for example you need column 2 combined with column 5 to create your category path) then you might want to have us review it to quote configuring it unless you're good at php coding.

Let us know though if you have more questions.

Thanks,

Carrie
