Questions about product sorting, info & downloadables

Hi everyone,

I am still weighing fully using Zen Cart. I am with Godaddy, and they drive me nuts, but they do have a pretty modular system in their Quick Shopping Cart (if anyone is familiar with that), and so for time's sake, I worry about making my job harder if I moved to Zen Cart.

Here are my questions...

1. How easy is it to assign a product to a downloadable file? I ONLY sell downloadables in .zip format. No physical product whatsoever. I have over 700 products, so I shudder to think of setting all of that up in zen cart.
2. I like to sort one product into more than one category - can this be done, and how simple is it to do?
3. When I do a partial store sale, want to move products from one category to another, want to feature products in bulk (i.e. large quantity product moving)... how easy is this to do? Does zen cart have an option to be able to move/sale/feature(etc) groups of products all at once? ... or do I have to assign one product at a time?

Thank you in advance for your help. I have read some things here and there, but I really need to hear personal experience and suggestions from fellow zenners that have 'gone before'. :-)

Again thank you!

I ended up purchasing the zen cart manual a moment ago, as this is COMPLETELY new to me. I feel somewhat like a fish out of water. Thank you for taking the time to reply, though! It means a lot.

You are most welcome ... good luck with your shop! :smile:
