That is definitely possible. In your example there... Helvetica would be a product and the variations (light, oblique, etc...) would be product variants.
As for importing the products that is also possible but you will have to write some code to get it done. You will have to pragmatically add the products by reading the data from the original DB and inserting new products into Merchello via Product and/or ProductVariant Services.
The easiest way to do it would be to pull the products from the source DB in an Umbraco ApplicationEventHandler and then use the Merchello Product Service to create the new products in your Umbraco Instance... probably first checking that they do not exist (Sku is probably what I would use to do that).
Discounts
The discounts are offers in merchello and there are quite a bit of out of the box rules you can apply for those...
You can also add your own in code for cases not supported by the out-of-the box constraints...
License Type
It all depends on your pricing rules. The license types could be variants as well... Variants are product options and you can have multiple... like T-Shirts... Size - Color - Logo... Start by defining exactly what your pricing structure is on the original site and then see how to fit it into Merchello.
Will take some research.
Shopping Cart Suggestion needed
Hi
I have a client which needs a almost same like Linotype website.
They have almost 35 000 products. can i achieve the same functionality with Merchello?
they have another website from where they want to import some data and most of the products are new which i supposed to be add manually.
if we see a product Helvetica and look into the purchase process and discounts. is it possible with Merchello?
Please guide and any help will be appreciated.
