Regarding the import, we would like to make some adjustments:
Introduction
There was a site on an old OpenCart, where the import worked without issues. The information was transferred to the new site. The same import module was installed to avoid problems. The previous executor (who transferred the site) disappeared at the stage of configuring the import.
The module used in the application.
The import file in the application
How the import worked: first, the import was done with a profile for the Ukrainian language, then the same with a profile for Russian. It was said that it does not work with our file in one go.
There are regular products, promotional products (which have a validity period), discounted products, and clearance products. All products had their flag with the corresponding label and also a flag with %% (or amount) of discount.
Products from these additional 3 categories were additionally displayed on separate pages, accessible from the main page or through the product catalog (the screenshot of the main page shows how, but in the product catalog, there is only Clearance and for some reason, there are no Promotions and Sales (not fully configured).
Additionally, in the products from the Promotions category, there was also a timer until the end of the promotion in the product card and in the product list.
The indication that a product belongs to one of these categories is that in the field _CATEGORIES_ there is an additional category with the same name
Promotion =_CATEGORIES_ has "Promotion"+_ACTIONPRICE_ has a promotional price +_ACTIONENDDATE_ has the expiration date of the promotion. After the promotion ends, this product is not displayed in the Promotion category, has no discount (field _ACTIONPRICE_), and does not have the flags "Promotion" and "discount"
Clearance=_CATEGORIES_ has "Clearance"+_DISCOUNT_ has a discounted price
Sale=_CATEGORIES_ has "Sale"+_DISCOUNT_ has a discounted price
