    Default Importing XlL or Text File

    I receive an xml file from my supplier every day that give me inventory, cost, description and all that needed stuff. Is there a way that I can import it all into my shopping cart? That is not one item at a time? It also has links to pictures….

    Default Re: Importing XlL or Text File

    Currently, no way to import xml product data as a feed - or manually.

    I believe latest version of MSExcel will convert XML file to a spreadhseet.

    If so, you can use easy populate version 1.2.5.4 (or 1.2.5.5) to get the data into your dbase. You will have to arrange the data to meet Easy Populate's formats.

    See my WIKI on Easy Populate.

    I understand that a couple of people (phazei and chadderuski) are hard at work building a CSV capability into Easy Populate.

    Remotely hosted images are not possible either. All images used for your products need to be in your installation's images folder. You may be able to run a macro to collect the images off the remote server, for uploading into your site:
