I am in need of a CSV Import/Export tool for my clients products and would like to open a discussion thread. I am running OpenCart v2.3.02.

What surprises me is I could not find one post (this forum or otherwise) that compares available CVS Import/Export modules. To make matters worse the sales pages for these modules are not every extensive. So for someone wanting to find the right fit, its a bit of a pain to determine which tool is the easiest to use and has the best features.

The tools I have identified are:
1. CSV Product Import + CSV Product Export by OpenCart community ($32)
2. Export/Import Tool (Free)
3. CSV Import Pro from Host Jars ($55)
4. Total Import Pro fomr Host Jars ($90)
5. ExcelPort - Full Product Data Excel Export from iSense Labs ($110)

The free tool (#2) and CSV Import Pro from Host Jars (#3) will likely not work for me. I need to be able to add additional images, and options. The Free option (#2) offers little to no documentation up front, and there are no YouTube videos that I could find. How are we supposed to know what it does and does not offer? I know its free, but offer some bullet points to show a few of the features, is that too much to ask?

I think the best 2 modules available are CSV Product Import (+Export) (#1) and ExcelPort (#5). Obviously there is a price difference and it looks like ExcelPort offers more than just product Import/Export they also offer more extensive data import/export. But my concern here is primarily product import and export. We are going to use this tool for all our product entry and update.

Again I need the program to also Import/Export additional images, attributes and options.

So if anyone has any experience between these programs can you pipe in? Which one is easier to use? Which one has more features? Any of these buggy? What do and don't you like about these programs you are using?

Currently using Open Cart version 2.0.1.1

I like the free export/import module. With that you can add additional images.
Easy to install and works great :)
