Importing of external items

Interactive importing is particularly useful for stores or B2B players that work with a large number of items.


The module for the interactive importing of external items will save you time with its three main functions:

  • Installing, in your Mercator system, easy access to the full catalogues received from suppliers.
  • Importing on request specific items searched for in these catalogues into Mercator.
  • Automatically update all of these data and the catalogues when suppliers change their rate.

How does interactive import work?

You may be able to sell all the products from your supplier’s catalogue. But how can you know in advance which ones your customers will ask for?

With this module, you have access, alongside your Mercator system, to all your suppliers’ catalogues with their complete range of products. When performing a specific search, Mercator consults these catalogues and imports only the requested item into the database. This item is then added and will from then on be handled like any other item in the database.



This module is therefore an efficient way to have a wide variety of items at hand without overloading your Mercator database.
