Here is a video to show the basic function of webtocatalog.com. In the video I use a tab delimited text file to create the catalog that I created from the Amazon API. The file has the item, description, price, image url, category, sub category and manufacturer. Even though I use this file, you can use a file generated for your Amazon store, Google Product Feed, Pricegrabber, or any other tab delimited file or excel sheet with at least the above fields.

How To Video – Create a Paper Catalog from Product Feed
Monday, April 5th, 2010Generator Down, New Feature Coming
Monday, January 11th, 2010I’m working on a new feature and the option of adding thousands of items if necesarry. After seeing some of your catalog needs, I quickly realized there may be needs or large catalogs. I have updated the code and tested it to work with large amounts of items. I’m happy to tell you it works beautifully. Technically, you could make a catalog that is as large as a phone book.
Right now, I have the ‘add catalog’ feature turned off while I do a major update to the code for image handling. This won’t be the norm, it just happened to be a big change to the main structure of the code, so it was safer to take it down. It will be back soon and I will update this post.
I promise there is a video tour coming. I just want to get a few more features enabled before it is released. Thanks to everybody who has already signed up. I look forward to helping you get your products in front of thousands of other potential custoemrs
Add Products Now Complete
Monday, November 30th, 2009The “add catalog” section of the app is complete. A little more involved than I planned, but that’s a good thing. I’m very happy with the way it has turned out. Tomorrow, I hope to do a video to show you a walk through of the adding products process. It will give you a better idea of what can be done with the app.
Once I have run it through it’s paces for a day or two, I plan on opening up beta testing. At that point, I will add feature after feature to the edit section of the app. There is an endless number of features I can add and I am sure there will be plenty I haven’t even thought of. So please leave feedback. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like.
New Upload Options
Friday, November 27th, 2009With beta testing ready to get going, we have invited many of you to set up your account and download a product template so you can have your products ready. Though you can still use the template, I am happy to announce you can use any other excel sheet too. After uploading your inventory spread sheet, you will have the oppurtunity to map the fields in your new catalog to the fields in your excel sheet.
This will enable you to use Amazon feeds, Yahoo feeds and more.
Keep watching. The beta will open to everyone any day now.
