 * Hi Everyone,
 * Anyone know of an e-commerce plugin that takes in external feeds for products
   sold?
 * I do not have any products of my own. I buy products from a variety of suppliers(
   ex: IBM, HP, etc…) which I then resell.
 * Looking for an e-commerce plugin that would take in external feeds from my suppliers
   e-comm portal in real time. Those feeds would supply me with:
 * – SKU#,
    – product description, – quantities available, – product costs.
 * In real-time I would than take the cost supplied by those feeds, mark it up and
   display the information with the new pricing on my e-store.
 * I looked at several plugins such as Woocommerce but is seems they all require
   you manually create a database of products. Nothing seems to be totally automated.
 * When you have tens of thousands of products, that’s VERY inefficient. Especially
   when someone else can feed you all the info needed. Also, when you considers 
   that others (i.e.: competitors) have access to the same products, building a 
   manual database of products you do not own, means your data is already outdated
   by the time you show it on your site.
 * Anyone has a solution for that?
 * Thanks in advance to all who reply.
 * Cheers,
 * Marc

 * By the way, if the above is somewhat confusing, I am referring to electronic 
   data interchange (EDI) capabilities between my suppliers and me.
