This addon is an enhancement to concrete5 eCommerce, and facilitates the download and mass update of product details including prices, tiered prices, special price, quantity, status, minimum quantity and login to purchase. It uses the core commerce classes to do the update and adds an additional "stock" tab to the core commerce dashboard.

Additionally, the CSV file may be downloaded automatically from a single page URL, allowing current stock levels to be managed by external systems.

The CSV file generated may be manipulated by any spreadsheet program, such as Openoffice.org or Excel. The fields in the file sent for upload may be in any order and some may be omitted with the exception of the ID field, and at least one other field. This allows the update of just one field and doesn't require the user to replicate the format exactly. This makes the task of gathering upload data from other systems considerably easier.

Error checking is performed on the contents of fields, and any errors will cause the import to abort without changing any values.

The user can choose which fields to update, but must make sure that the corresponding fields are in the file uploaded.

The addon supports up to 10 pricing tiers, but will erase data beyond that. It's easy enough to up this limit, but 10 seemed like an adequate value.

Note: Version 2 or later of eCommerce is required.

The addon has been tested and works with Concrete5 5.5.1 and eCommerce 2.5.
