Hello will Ubercart allow for bulk import of digital goods via CSV file (or similar)?
Obviously the actual file for sale will be manullay uploaded to the server, buy
can I bulk import products, price, desc, etc?
Thanks!

Did I post this in the wrong forum? If so I apologize. I really need the answer to this.

Part of it is because a lot of us were at Drupalcon this week and have been too busy to pay attention to the forums. Another part is that no one's really done it before (that I've heard of, anyway).
Theoretically, now that I've thought about it a little bit, it doesn't sound too hard. First you should FTP your files to the webserver, and then make sure that Drupal has a record of those files in the files table. That seems to be the tricky part because that should happen at the same time the products are imported, and you need to know which row in the files table to connect with the product.
Basically, it can't be done now, but if someone made it happen, it could be.

Lyle, thnks a lot for getting back to me. I should have realized that many people were at Drupalcon. I currently import digital good with xcart... But I want to move away from that and into Ubercart.
The way its done in xcart is I upload the files first to a folder.. Then I generate my import csv with a column that includes the name of the actual file and its exact location...among other options.
I am surprised that this functionality is not here yet. How long had ubercart been around?
