I'm planning an importing interface to import not only CSV text but also ODBC data sources and maybe other formats.

I have several request to manage the orders. You are the first to mention shipping. Maybe it is because OSCommerce doesn't follow the packages after the sale, I think most shipping tracking/managing is left to the store owner to do it using something else.

Well, I haven't reviewed the Endicia service. It seems that the Endicia software is just a platform for the real offer (the service).
Let me think more about this, stace. I don't know if this should be a different application. The OSCPMWin app was really designed to manage products only. I would like to extend it but first I must fix several problems.
I'm designing the next big release. After that I will explore other features like order management and shipping.
In any case, any extra comments about what features you would like to have in the software (as detailed as you can) would be very helpful. Or details about how you use Endicia service with you OSCommerce store.
