“I am very excited to launch this partnership with ICEcat because it is our first big step towards bringing expert reviews to webshops all over the world. By comparison, we concluded that Testseek is a world-class provider of such product ratings and reviews, willing to co-opt our open content philosophy", says Martijn Hoogeveen CEO of ICEcat BV. "We noticed a strong interest from channel partners to add product ratings and reviews to the product information on their websites, as it's helping consumers to decide what product to buy and thus improving conversion rates. TestSeek brings aggregated expert reviews to ICEcat’s open catalogue which means that their users (webshops) can display TestSeek’s aggregated reviews to increase conversion rates and customer loyalty. TestSeek is today launching a partnership with online content provider. We also hope to support Full Icecat users with authentication and data flow changes.Press release TestSeek provides ICEcat’s open catalogue with unbiased expert reviews Functional improvements will focus on features like adding an option to defer importing products to a later time. Performance improvements will focus on reducing the buffer time and improving the speed of the application. The road map for the plugin includes both functional and performance improvements. Consequently, there can be extra buffering if the server is running with low resources. The speed of importing the products depends on the performance of the Pimcore server. As we tried to avoid making changes to the Pimcore core code, we decided not to use data hub functionalities. Some of the features like using data hub, Image gallery PDFs, etc are not very flexible in the basic Pimcore structure. Using this plugin makes it very easy to import the formatted and standardized data available in Open Icecat. In some cases, it might be necessary to have an FFMPEG extension or a video player supported by Pimcore to be able to edit videos. You can see the review of Pimcore from our tests here. Users can also edit the data imported using the Edit feature of Pimcore. The imported data also contains elements like image galleries, videos, 3D tours, product stories, PDFs, Reasons To Buy, dynamic specifications, and marketing descriptions. Product data is available as JSON data on Icecat, and imported products data looks similar to the JSON data in Icecat. The product data is available for preview after importing. In order to restart just click the restart button on the Add file tab of the plugin. But, restarting the process kills any existing import process. Users can restart the process if they log off while importing. Users can choose to upload a file or provide the URL location of the file. The file should contain a list of product codes and brand names or GTINs (for example EANs). How to upload?Īfter logging in as an Open Icecat user, a user can search for products by uploading their price or catalog file. If you don’t have a free Open Icecat account yet, register here to become an Icecat user. To use this functionality the user needs to be already a registered Open Icecat user. Our extension allows importing open content from Icecat into a user’s Pimcore instance. More detailed documentation and installation instructions are available at. The Pimcore extension works with Pimcore version 10 and above. A user needs to install the downloaded plugin into their existing Pimcore installation. ![]() The Icecat plugin for Pimcore is available at Github. ![]() As a result, fetching standardized data becomes easy, simple and efficient. We publish our integration with Pimcore also as open source, to minimize the thresholds for users to fetch and use the data from Open Icecat directly into their system. A Product Information Management (PIM) system helps to organize and standardizing large amounts of product data, and open source ensures that it is free to download and use. In this way, millions of brand-approved product datasheets become directly available for resellers and other users of this a popular open source PIM platform. I am happy to announce our open source Pimcore-Icecat integration (plugin).
