Enter a single product?

Submitted by stevencrocker on Sat, 2009-03-28 00:02 in

Is there a way to manually enter a single product?
I mostly deal with feeds, however I do have a few situations where a seller may only have 1 or 2 products that I want in the site.
Is there a simple way to add these rather than having to create a file and import, etc.

Thanks.

P.S. I am a newbie so the less technical the better ;-)

Hi Steven,

The easiest way as it stands is to create a feed I think; and this will also mean that you have a permanent "outside of the DB" backup of the products. The easiest way to create a feed is with a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel - simply create a header row with the field names:

ProductName
Description
ImageURL
BuyURL
Price

...and then enter the product data, one per row. Finally, use the Export... function (File menu) to save the spreadsheet as a CSV file - I would recommend using Tab separated values as this tends to be the most robust CSV format - and then upload to your /feeds/ folder to register and import as normal...

Cheers,
David.
