I am sure the new API should allow you to do this http://docs.cs-cart.com/

Any luck with this?

The ability to import products from .csv files is not disabled for the vendors. Please take a look
A product feed happens every day automatically. It keeps score of thier items without trying to upload a csv file.

Unfortunately there is no ability to import feeds automatically. Additional code modifications are requried. If you are interested, our team will be happy to create this functionality for you
What format are the feeds from your supplier in?
Are you wanting all items in the feed? Or are you being selective for what exists in your store (I.e. your store has 500 items and supplier provides 1000 - limit to the 500 items in your store)?
Unfortunately the format and content of “feeds” is pretty loose and not very standardized (until you get into EDI). So the vast majority of importing from a feed is custom development.
This is a tipical feed. [url=“http://www.gadgetkiwi.co.nz/shop/index.php?route=feed/pricespy_feed”]http://www.xxxx.co.nz/shop/index.php?route=feed/pricespy_feed[/url] : replace xxxx with gadgetkiwi
Sorry, but I'm not about to start downloading feeds and identifying what can be mapped and what can't. If your data is in xml or csv than most likely it can be mapped between your feed and cs-cart. However, in my experience, there is always additional massaging needed to make external data compatible with cs-cart.
