    Hi,

    Just wanted to find out how you handle large amounts of e-commerce products. Currently, I am using excel spreadsheets to manage 100,000 products which includes data like:

    Keywords
    Description
    Title
    SKU#
    Pricing
    Image location etc...

    Was just wondering if any of you have any tips or tricks ? ?

    Cheers,
    3D

    What do you mean by manage? Are you referring to keeping track of inventory, sales, or just what is on your website?

    I am not sure what script are you using, but in case of magento it should work. I try by making data in smaller size, like import 1000-3000 (depending upon resource) at once and so on. Its also time consuming but atleast works good in my case

    Do you save your spreadsheet and manage it as XML?
