Hi guys, this is a great looking product you have here. I have 4 questions:


  1. If I am receiving product feeds or rather Excel spreadsheets with pricing and description information for products from my vendors, is there an easy way to integrate this? Will I have to enter each product manually?
  2. Similar for pictures; will I have to upload pictures for each product individually or is there a mass uploader?
  3. Is it possible to have a product video? maybe in place of one of the pictures?
  4. Is there a limitation on the number of products in the store?

Thanks very much!

Hi guys, this is very dissapointing. I was very impressed at the fact that you guys were set up to take presale questions and thought it was absolutely going to sway me towards your product and away from wp-commerce gold. I'll be making my pruchase in about 12-13 hours.


Thanks.

My apologies for a slow response time. My HS graduation was yesterday and I had no time to be online…


To answer your questions…


1) Because Market utilizes custom fields to assign prices, descs, etc, you would not be able to import all of this data because Wordpress would have no way of knowing what goes where. (Although you may be able to get it to work)


2) Same as above, the images are attached to the posts using custom fields, so they have to be specified per post and can't be done all at once :-/


3) You could add a video, but it would require some minor code changes. You also would not be able to use the Market Product Manager to add the video (you would just have to add it in as a regular custom field)


4) There are no limitations. Market is merely a theme for Wordpress. There are no limits on how many posts Wordpress can have, so there are no limits on the amount of items you can list with the MT.

Congratulations on gradutating.


Not only did you answer my question but you researched it for me and found me a way to work it out. Than you very much that shows a true commitment to your customers.


Unless the competition offers this data import as a plugin or some other way, I'm going with you.


If they do offer it, I'll be buying your product soon anyway for the ecommerce project we have coming up in a few months. Great job on the pre-sell service!!
