Yes,

The whole purpose is to make it much easier to mass add products and mass update products. You can choose to import or update only sets of products at a time if you like. So yes you could upload a set from just a specific manufacturer.

You can upload as little or as much information as you want. The only requirements is if it is a new product, you must upload the minimum data that X-cart requires for a product to be added in the admin (so sku, product name, descriptions, etc). However on updating all you have to provide is the SKU and anything you want to update. You don't have to feed it all the fields during updating if you do not want to update those fields.

You can also add AND update products in one file feed. If a sku exists, the system auto updates that product with the info provided in the file feed you give it, if it does not exist, it will add that product.

Let me know if you have more questions!

Thanks,
