I have an UC store that I intend to package into a feature.
However, how would I also copy the actual products from one website to another?
Migrate?

Maybe an Install Profile? http://drupal.org/node/306267

Products are just nodes with some additional data attached. I've successfully used http://drupal.org/project/deploy before for this in 6.x, perhaps you could use Deploy or Migrate or Node Export or any other similar module in 7.x.

Is this something that the end user will do themselves or are you going to perform this for them but you want have it all pre packaged up for easy install?

I am building the new site and will copy the products over for the client (who also owns the old store).

I don't think deploy will be best since this is a D7 site.
I don't think install profile is best, because the new site is built, I just need to carry over the store.
Any thoughts on Node export? I will try to work on that next.

So this is a existing D6/UC2 site and you are wanting to copy the products into it once the D7/UC3 is finished?

Unless there's an easier way I'd grab the Site/DB from his server, set it up on your server and do the drupal/modules update. Then once its finished just upload the new DB and upload the whole site to his server.

Changing a D7 site from server to server is much easier then D6 as with D6 you had to make changes in the DB for site info/links other wise links would still point to the old site.

For reasons that would take too long to explain, I cannot just duplicate the old site (or DB).
I actually upgraded the old site to D7, so both are current. I just want to move the products over, since the new site has already had a lot of development put into it.

Yah Node Export looks like what you are looking for.

Just fyi, node export did import the products, but it lost all taxonomy terms and images for every product.
