Magmi - Which field in the CSV file is referring to FULL PRICE? + Alternative for category_ids?

I'm pretty new in this whole magmi, magento and it is a little bit confusing.. a Few questions:

  1. There are two prices, one is an original price given by a supplier, and the second price is the one given by me, the one i want to show the visitors. What am i supposed to write in the csv file in order to show "my price"? + How can i automatically reduce for instance 20% of the original price, or on the other hand increase it by 20%?

  2. Is there an alternative for "category_ids?" id like to put it by its name, instead of "17"- "Cars", am i being clear enough?

  3. This is my csv:

manufacturer categories in_depth dimension qty name sku model thumbnail price price1xx has_options short_description image upc weight shipment_type store websites attribute_set

under attribute_set- i wrote DEFAULT under websites - i wrote all the name of the subdomains under categories - i wrote THE NAME OF EACH CATEGORY - EXAMPLE-CARS

does it seem ok to you?

  1. Do you have an example of a full working csv file i could use?

tnx in advanced!!!

If it helps, here's the templates I've used to import successfully with magmi:

For product import (just the header):

store,websites,attribute_set,type,category_ids,sku,name,price,special_price,cost,weight,status,visibility,is_imported,tax_class_id,description,short_description,qty

And for images:

sku,image,small_image,thumbnail
333333,/333333.jpg,/333333.jpg,/333333.jpg

Always test import on a small scale with 1-10 products, and move forward only after you've diagnosed any potential problems.

In relation to your question about categories, Magmi has a plugin called On the fly category creator/importer.

The way it works is pretty simple, add a field in your csv file with the name categories and for every product, add relevant categories in comma separated format:

parentcategory/subcategory,other category

Non existing categories in Magento will be automatically created.

In order to use it you have to activate it. You can do it through the Magmi web interface (don't forget to click on save profile before running the application) or directly editing the plugins.conf file.

Increase all product prices by %10 :

<?php
   $percent = 1.10; // percentage of increase, for decrase replace 0.10
   $store = 2; // store code

   $priceUpdate = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_write'); 
   $priceUpdate->query("
      UPDATE catalog_product_entity_decimal val  
      SET  val.value = (val.value * $percent)
      WHERE  val.attribute_id = ( 
         SELECT attribute_id FROM eav_attribute eav
         WHERE eav.entity_type_id = 4 // 4 is catalog/product id
            AND eav.attribute_code = 'price' // this is the attribute type where in eav_attribute
            )
         AND val.store_id = $store
   ");
?>
