			* ZenCart seems to have been designed with the assumption that the user would never need to import data from another system. There is no "bulk import" (e.g. using CSV files) facility, and writing one is hampered by the lack of any way to assign arbitrary keys to products or manufacturers (i.e. the data schema has no fields for this). One is left with the choice between a kluge (e.g. using meta tags tables to store the relevant data) or creating a new table for cross-referencing.
