Landlord78 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi, All I am new to osCommerce but like the designs of the stores so I am looking to use it for my shop front to sell goods, the question I have is whats the best way to add products to my web site is it best to do it from the back end or can i add the products on my office computer & then import them to my site, I am looking to add images for all products as well so need to do this at the same time. Beleave this might be a stupid question but as I have never use osCommerce before I would like any help so I dont waste time updating products when i could have save time by just asking. the amount of products will be around 2,000 + Any tips or advice I will take on board.

Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 John, If you have a CSV file of the products, you could use Easy Populate to import the CSV and then just upload the images to the /image directory. easy populate -> http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6871 Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlord78 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 My old site I hat to add products via internet explorer & log into a site, I just checked with them & they dont support CSV files (probably why I am transfering over to osCommerce) My current site was does as the starting project & now business has developed I am in need of more from my shop etc..... mainly my products available from my suppliers is growing & I would like to be able to grow my list of products to my consumers as well. What kind of 'list' do you have your products in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landlord78 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have looked at the CSV file & its looks easy enough to use.... my only concern is can I create different sheets within the CSV file e.g. for different catergories etc or is it best to have everything altogether.....I am worried that with so many products to add that I may forget some or add twice etc...
