Facts
-----

[](#facts)

- version: 0.8.2
- extension key: AvS\_FastSimpleImport
- Composer name: avstudnitz/fast-simple-import (included in  and Packagist)
- [Extension on GitHub](https://github.com/avstudnitz/AvS_FastSimpleImport)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This module allows to import from arrays and thus using any import source, while the Magento module only imports from files. ImportExport exists since Magento 1.5 CE / 1.10 EE, image import since 1.6 CE / 1.11 EE. Thus, this module needs at least one of those versions. ImportExport has a special import format. See [specifications](https://www.integer-net.com/importing-products-with-the-import-export-interface/) about the expected format.

Main Features:

- Fast Import using the built in Magento module ImportExport
- Partial Indexing of only the imported products available
- Unit tests for many test cases included
- Importing of additional entities: Categories, Category-Product relations
- Improved error messages stating which values are expected instead of a given value

Please see our [**documentation**](http://avstudnitz.github.io/AvS_FastSimpleImport/) for a full list of features.
