Hi, is it possible to import listings direct from Google Places business profiles?

Hello Alex,

you can use any legal source to get your listings. All you need is a CSV file that can be generated by any 3rd party data scraper.

Once the CSV file with the listings is ready you can import it using the built-in phpListings import tool.

Find more information on the required CSV format and the way the import tool works using the link below:

Please, submit a support ticket if you need help with listing data scraping or importing.

Thank you.

That is great, thank you. Would you please help me convert my CSV file to be accepted by phplistings?

Hello Alex,

sure, please, create a support ticket or email your CSV file.

Thank you.

Following up on this topic, there is an option for "Send Notifications" at the import step.  What does this option do?

Hello,

if this option is enabled, an email notification will be sent to the owner of the imported listing to confirm the activation of their paid listing order. The email template used for this purpose is called 'user_invoice_created'. It's worth noting that no notification will be sent for free listing orders.

Thank you.
