If you have more information about the structure we could see to implement something "more simple". For example, HikaShop have a CSV import system so we can imagine that HikaMarket could use it to import vendor products. The point that we have to see is more about the images. Uploading a CSV file is not complicated ; importing external images is more complicated. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

But once added, they need to maintain it as efficiently as possible. For structure, I'd look at cXML because it's so commonly used. But for content I'd look at the ANSI EDI 832. Many attributes won't be applicable, but most will be useful.

There is a simple interface which allow vendors to edit their products, upload images/files, use a gallery to select images from their personal directory, etc. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
