Description
THE ACTUAL BUDGET IS NO MORE THAN 200$. PREFERENCE FOR CHEAPER OFFERS.

The aim is to parse data from 5 websites or xml feeds and insert them into my php/MySQL based e-store - generic script, not a custom build soultion, using csv file. The sources are 5 different websites of my distributors and therefore the data supplied will vary.

As the same products could be supplied by different distributors the script would need to distinguish which product is already in the database and don't import it. I would like to avoid duplicated entries and additional manual work. An admin panel for the script/scripts with prices and delivery time (quoted by the distributors) would be necessary - so I could know where to order it from.

Prices and avaliable products often change and therefore I need an easy way to track whats on offer and if I need to update any of the prices.

Below is the list of options I'm able to import into my store using CSV files:

* Product code
* Category
* List price
* Price
* Available
* Quantity
* Weight
* Min quantity
* Shipping freight
* Date added
* Downloadable
* Files

* Ship downloadable
* Inventory tracking
* Free shipping
* Feature comparison
* Zero price action
* Thumbnail
* Detailed image
* Product name
* Description
* Short description
* Meta keywords
* Meta description

* Search words
* Page title
* Taxes
* Features
* Options
* Secondary categories
* Manufacturer
* Pay by points
* Override points
* Override exchange rate

But I need only basic information such as name, category, price, some description, image & thumbnail, product code, quantity avaliable, META desc. Not all of those are supplied by avaliable feeds, but could be converted for empty entries so I could edit them manually from within the cart. The more data is gathered automaticly the better.

Examples of avaliable feed, back-end product addition page, import section and a csv file generated by my store can be found in the attachments.

If changes in the cart structure are needed it can be discussed and the price amended.

Basic functionality is needed ASAP and the whole project should be completed within 14 days.
