Constantly having to check if your products are in stock, what new products there are, price changes etc. The administration for making sure your shop products are up to date can be a nightmare, especially if you have hundreds or thousands of products. An impossible task to be done accurately and quickly.

The majority of suppliers can provide a data feed containing their products. For zencart shop owners this can be a life saver. However, what you find is that the data feed is not compatible with importing into Zen Cart so manual amendments have to be made to ensure the file can be imported. Whats more, you have to look for new and amended products where you have to manually upload the images.

iwebshop has come up with a solution to this.

iwebshop will create a zencart module specific to your suppliers data file, to ease the workload of updating your products. Features, may include:

  • Automatically take your suppliers data file and rearranges it into a format compatible for importing into zencart.
  • Automatically import the new data feed into your zencart shop, updating/adding products.
  • Automatically copies the product images from the suppliers website to your hosting space.

Once the addon is implemented, cron jobs are used to run these tasks. Saving you time and money! Click here for more details.
