Overview
IMPORTANT: This plugin requires two components to function. Please ensure you have the Chrome Browser and the Extension installed.
1. Chrome Browser: Download Google Chrome
2. AD IMPORTER Extension: Download FREE Chrome Extension
AD IMPORTER for VirtueMart allows you to bulk import products directly into your Joomla store. It automates product creation, high-definition image downloading, and categorization in just a few clicks. It also ensures that re-importing an existing product only updates the cost price, preventing duplicates.
Features
- Smart Import and Price Sync: On the first import, the full product is created. Re-importing the same product updates only the Cost Price.
- Image Downloading: Automatically fetches and saves high-resolution product images directly to your local server (videos are skipped).
- Auto-Categorization: Detects product types and smartly assigns categories and sub-categories based on product type and color.
- Size Variants: Automatically extracts size variations and seamlessly converts them into selectable VirtueMart Cart Attributes.
- Description Sanitizer: Cleans up messy vendor descriptions, stripping out unnecessary CSS, JavaScript, and unneeded tags.
- Automated Stock Management: Set a default stock quantity for all newly imported products right from the plugin settings.
