Many online stores start out as a list of products, descriptions, prices, and images. Sometimes this is a CSV file or other feed, sometimes it's a legacy site, such as an Ubercart site. We'll show how to use the Feeds and Commerce Feeds modules to build a complete store, using importing techniques.

This includes:

• What is Feeds and what can it do?
• Quick demonstration of importing a product catalog
• Preparing the input data
  • Where do I get my data?
  • What form should it be in?
  • What kinds of things can I import?
  • What are problematic import issues?
• Setting up your feeds importer (configuration, mapping)
• Running the import to create products
• Running the import to create product display nodes.
• Maintaining your product catalog by syncing with an external data source.
