Hello everybody!!!

 

I'm totally new to oscommerce and need some help to begin !

 

I would like to build a very simple web shop, even with the standard laying, just item number, short description and price, no picture as there will be a link to a pdf format catalog with complete descriptions of items, pictures but no prices.

Can I create products and attributes and categories off-line on my computer (3000 items) ?

 

Thank you very much !!

Hi,

 

I'm also fairly new to OS but I'd recommend looking through the contributions - there's loads of entries - there's bound to be one that will do what you want.

 

:blink: Of course it depends on what you're selling but I'd be far more likely to buy from a website with pictures - even if there is a downloadable catalogue - it helps to identify that you're looking at the same item (customers never quite get to grips with someone elses poduct numbers) and it helps to secure confidence that the items really exist. Also if you included pictures people could choose not to download the catalogue if they didn't want to. :-"

Confused!!!

If you mean create them in a file, then, yes you can. But you will need to install the Easy Populate contribution in order to upload them.

To Bryoni: yes you are right, in fact I will tend to this kind of web shop with pictures, but later, I would like first a site to "start".

 

To Jack: Yes that's what I mean.So if I have understood I can create my file with excel and then convert it in .cls ?
