Install and use Easy Populate on Zencart Watch me load a store with 2000 items!

UPDATE: I have written a script that will update your inventory quantity from your supplier to keep your cart current. I charge 19.95 a month to run this script and it updates your cart inventory once every 15 minutes. Contact me if you are interested len@lenfarneth.com
Watch as I install easy populate for zencart and upload over two thousand products!
Easy Populate has a two-way capability: to IMPORT product data into your zencart store, and to EXPORT product data from your zencart store.

Easy Populate does not have the capacity to add/update other data (eg: customer data, orders, etc). Easy Populate's capabiility is restricted to product data only.

When IMPORTING into your store, Easy Populate can both ADD NEW PRODUCT DATA, and UPDATE EXISTING PRODUCT DATA.

Easy Populate both imports and exports this data from a TAB-DELIMITED TEXT FILE

If you can find a way to export your eBay items in a csv or tab separated value then yes. Basically you need a model# (unique id) Image path, title, description, price. and any other info such as weight if you are calculating postage. quantity. etc.

I don't do enough ebay to have tried this. so I really can't say. If you can get the csv or tab list somehow than it definitely can be done

BTW I can install this mod or format files to migrate your inventory. For a fee, If interested contact me.

Yes You need EOREOR at the end of every line it tells mysql that it has reached the end of the record. I have used the newest version as well as the one I describe here both have worked equally well for me. I do get "500 errors" but the records load. and they are there

@onsalefreedotcom This tutorial deals with tab files not csv. If you loaded the version in the tutorial you will need to turn your csv into tab through excel and that should work

Thanks. That's awesome, I watch whatever "how to" videos I can, and it really doesn't help me to see a twenty second video on a complex subject backed up with music and no instruction. I will try to keep making these in a way I would understand what is going on. In fact I forget stuff so in a sense these videos are for me too. Thanks for watching. Len Farneth.com

Usually its a file placement issue Make sure to open the admin folder and the folder where your zen cart admin files were before they were renamed. If you have sent the admin folder itself that won't work (admin/admin) That is usually the case, I do it all the time. Good luck and let me know if you get it. Also clear cache & refresh. I would be happy to have a look if you want. I'm doing another one right now myself.

Good info. Higher Resolution so we can see what you are doing would be better, but good info. Thanks!

thanks. I'm using easy_populate_csv_1-2-5-7b.rar­. Can i use this version to upload .csv file? I'm using the latest zen cart version. Can you give me an example of file contains that you use? Maybe i haven't completely insert the code of v_ weight or something like that. Must i put the EOREOR? I would appreciate it if you could give me the example of your file so that i can compare with mine.
