I have a new supplier and I want to list all of their products, there is 3334 items in total + variations.
They can't offer a feed or export so it'll be a case of manually adding them.
However their site is quite well laid out with:
Title
SKU
Short Description
Long Description
Images
Some of the products have variations which would need to be listed as separate products rather than actual variations (same description etc etc just different SKU and price).
Now I could sit there and add them all in house which would take my staff and I weeks, but I'm wondering if it's possible to "scrape" the site for the relevant information, add it to a spread sheet that matches my Magento feed then we can just go through the spreadsheet to add all the prices. Then upload, assign the categories and we're live.
Is this possible and if so where do I look for this type of service/software? Or is there a better way?
