There are several extensions to import products from xml, cvs files, etc. Check the extensions directory.

Running Opencart v3.0.3.9 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.

I have setup an Opencart store with over 200 products in a local network and everything is working properly. But when I uploaded it to a hosting site, the product images would not show up. Now I need to go to the admin screen and manually re-select the images one by one to make it appear in the front office. I know for sure that the links are correctly entered in product table in the database, and the image folder has all the product pictures. I have checked all the related data (mainly the product and category tables) carefully with phpMyAdmin and could not tell the difference between those that have been re-selected and the ones that have not. Since I have over 200 products for the store, it will be difficult to manually make these changes. I wonder if I missed anything during the data transfer process. How come the it works fine in my personal computer but not in the hosting site?

Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Im sorry , im not a expert like others, but what i'm think is when you creating your products in localhost , links for images can make as localhost/opencart/image/product.jpg , but, when you uploading same files to online server, localhost folders can be change like localhost/domain.com/images/product.jpg and database cannot find the correct folder path because he know only localhost/opencart/image/product.jpg.

Hope that my explanation will help you and, sorry about my bad English..

With the help from the technician of my web hosting company, we have resolved the issue. It is the image file names that has caused the problem.

I have been working with Windows 7 with the local web server, which will not tell the difference between "picture.jpg" and "Picture.JPG." But in the Linux system, it is two different file names, and the web server could not find those pictures. The technician helped me rename all to files to match those that specified in my product tables, and everything is working fine now.
