-- url of the page with the problem -- : 5.10.105.46/~yamity3c/
-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business: 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : Joomla! 3.3.0 Stable
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.29

Dear all,
This is very urgent for us for we have finished building this huge site and it is of no use to us without that feature. we need to be able to update the product prices very often in that site. Trying to do so by exporting and importing .csv files.
When trying to export it does not do the job. Apparently because we have many categories and sub-categories and because some sub-categories have similar names the shop is a mess after uploading the csv file. Following your advise we updated the Hika Shop version hoping we will be able to use category id's instead of names but it does not work in the latest version "HikaShop Business: 2.3.5". Please guide us and help us find the best way to update prices. We have been working for 8 month on this site. All we need to update is the price there must be a way to do this, without it HikaShop Business will not be a use for us. Please help.

Hi,

It's simple. Just create a CSV with two columns, product_code and price_value like this:
product_code,price_value
prod_code1,18.50
prod_code2,15.22
...etc...

And create a mass action with a filter "import from CSV" via the menu System>Mass actions in order to import your CSV. You'll be able to click on the "process" button of the mass action to import the CSV.

The import tool is to import products, not really to update prices which is why you're struggling with it.
