How It Works
Using a spreadsheet is the fastest way to create or update products in bulk. A product import involves having all of your product information in a CSV file, which can be edited by a spreadsheet editor. Upon import, the column headers will be matched with the corresponding product attributes in Magento, and the product information will be updated accordingly.
Mass Product Import/Export is a plugin made for Vnecoms Marketplace extension using this methods. Vendor can import, edit, or delete products by exporting their existed products into a CSV file, copying the file and editing it in a spreadsheet editor (such as Excel), then re-importing the updated file back into their store. As a bonus, vendor will also now have a backup of their products!
