Bulk importing new products with Images that have a URL

Hi. Is there a way to bulk add products and images via csv file with the images having a URL? If not, how can I upload the url images to my products?

Thanks

I might be reading more into this, but is this something you want to do once, or on a schedule?  To retrieve images via URL and save them locally will require scripting.

Re: Bulk importing new products with Images that have a URL

I am importing my products from my other website (a different platform) so that I can close it. I was running two sites with similar but different products, there's 800+ items and images. I built the csv file but the image names I have the links to the image.

Thanks!

Re: Bulk importing new products with Images that have a URL

For a one-off build, I'd recommend finding an online image downloader that accepts URLs, and using that to get the images into the right K9 directories (under {public}/media/ecom/), then modifying the image names in your CSV so they specify only the image name.  Not fun or easy, but probably the best approach to do this once.
