Default Might be a stupid question......

This might be a stupid question but is there an easier way to put products on to your site???

We will have around 200+ items on our site, and it just seems like alot of effort to keep going back and forth updating prices etc when ever the wholesaler/dropshipper updates them.

It would probably help if you advised what application you are using for your online store.

Some will even offer direct API access so prices are updated automatically.

But yes, a simple csv export/import will do the trick!

what cart are you using?
theres sometimes modules available to install otherwise, as people have said already a csv export/import should be sufficient
