Question on the functionality of Easy Populate & ZC

I've gathered that Easy Populate can be used to import/export inventory info, but can it be set up to automatically import/export changes in inventory (i.e. sales)? Here's my scenario:

I'm trying to set up an eCommerce book store for a client. He uses an online service called Art of Books which maintains his inventory and automatically updates the info across a large number of venues (Amazon, Biblio, eBay, Half.com, etc) so that **when a book sells in one place, the inventory is updated everywhere. **It also allows for custom venues (like an eCommerce store), and will send tab-delimited files (or a number of other formats) to whatever FTP you specify about every 30 minutes to maintain proper inventory. **

Can Easy Populate be used to set ZenCart up like the other venues mentioned where inventory is automatically changed via uploaded text file, no matter where the sale is made? **

Or, if not with Easy Populate, can this even be done in ZenCart, and if so, how?

Keep in mind I'm a designer, not a programmer/coder in any way. I have set up a few ZenCart sites, but my expertise is limited, and I don't want to spend hours (weeks!) working on this if it's not even possible.

Thanks in advance for any help...

It can be programmed but the csv will require being converted into a structure that matches what ZenCart's DB expects.

You will need the services of a programmer to get this operational

Thanks - that's what I was afraid of.

I appreciate the quick response...off to find another solution...I may be back!!
