PIMPORT can be adapted to your system, including custom-built stores. The platforms below already have ready-made integrations. For the rest we develop a separate connector or prepare an export; the cost and the timeline are agreed before any work starts.
What can be connected depends on the platform, its version and the structure of your store. Each platform has its own page with the versions tested and the limitations.
Feeds connected and the catalogue updated for the tested versions of Shop-Script.
Categories and attributes
SKU articles; the warehouse is agreed at setup
Photos and SEO URLs
Writes only the columns the store has
Integration notes
The ready-made integration covers Shop-Script 8…12; verified on 12.7. For versions 4…7 and stores with customisations we estimate the adaptation separately.
Catalogue imported and prices and availability updated for the supported versions of the component.
Categories and products
Photos
Prices and stock
The ready-made Joomla integration works with JoomShopping. We can develop a separate integration for VirtueMart and other components — send your store URL for a cost and timeline estimate.
Tell us where the products need to go. We will study the structure of your store and the ways it can be connected, then propose an integration and agree the scope.
Direct connection
The data is written straight into the store: products, categories, prices, stock and photos. The four platforms above are ready; for the rest we can develop an integration for your system.
PIMPORT prepares a YML file after markup; the external service imports it with its own mechanism and its own rules.

Discuss a connection
ocStore, Horoshop, Prom, marketplaces and custom-built stores have no ready-made integration yet, but we can develop one. Send your store URL: we answer within one business day and quote the cost and the timeline before any work starts. The check is free. How we connect custom-built stores →
We check the hosting before installing
The resources needed depend on the size of the feed and the number of images. We check your case before any work starts.
Technical requirements minimum compatibility for the current release
PHP7.4 or newer — minimum compatibilitytested up to 8.3
DatabaseMySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+the same one the store uses
Update scheduleone cron jobset up as part of the installation
Memoryfrom 128 MBparsing costs roughly three times the feed size: 128 MB is about thirty thousand items
Execution timefrom 30 sthe import runs in batches: what it does not finish in one pass continues in the next
Memory for Excelfrom 512 MBthe workbook is read whole, so it needs noticeably more than XML or CSV
Space for imagesdepends on the number of photosoriginals are stored separately from the processed copies
What the installation needs
After the review and once the installation is agreed, we tell you which access your platform and hosting need. Passwords are not needed in the first request.
Placing the program
FTP or SSH — to upload the files and add the schedule job.
Access to the store data
The program writes into the store tables through the same connection the store itself uses.
Checking the result
Access to the store admin panel: to look at the categories, a couple of products and the photos.
The specialist's access can be revoked right after the installation — the program keeps working. The credentials the program itself uses stay in place.
We will check your store and your feedSend your store URL and a link to your feed. We'll show a sample of products and quote the connection cost within one business day.
