So far I have been VERY satisfied with the service Vendio offers over that OTHER comapany And... Well, you know who they are. Anyway, the only complaing I have is that there seems to be no way to import entire lisings from Sales Manager, to SM Pro, without re-keying all the text etc., and I must say, this is one feature that the other company offers which does save an awful lot of time.
I sincerely hope Vendio will be adding this feature soon, or even better, Ihope that there is some way to do it already, and I just cant figure it out.
Thank you for your comments -- I have forwarded them to Product Development for consideration. Regarding the downloading of listings -- unfortunately it's not possible to download an actual listing but there are some ways around it. If you click the 'copy' link in the action column, this will copy the listing to pending. Then edit the listing and check off the 'save to inventory' option. You can download your inventory and import it into Pro, using this link:
Once the inventory has been downloaded into a .csv file, it can be imported using the following steps:
In Sales Manager Pro, go to Tools -> Inventory Importer -> Text File (comma-separated fields.) Find your file, click "Import", and map the fields.
If you find that there are non-matching fields, leave the map field blank. Note that the field titles in the inventory importer do not necessarily match the downloaded inventory title exactly. Also, if you are using Sales Manager Pro, be sure that you detach any images that have been removed online before you download your inventory, as you will receive an error on import if the image attached to your inventory item does not exist online.
I know this process is tedious, unfortuantely it's the only available workaround we have at this time to get active listings into your Sales Manager Pro.
