Setting up a product data feed for your products is a great way to get added exposure for your online store by syndicating them to a variety of these shopping portals.
Product data feeds are updated whenever you make a change to your products, so you can be sure that they're up to date. To create a data feed for Rakuten LinkShare follow the instructions below.
IMPORTANT!
You need to ensure that all of your products have a Barcode (UPC/EAN, ISBN) and SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) before submitting your data file Rakuten LinkShare. If you don't do this, they will not accept your submission!

Step 1 - Create a collection of products
Collections Section
Firstly we need to have a list of products to send to Rakuten LinkShare. To create this, you'll need to create a collection that contains all of the products you want in your data feed. You can create a Standard Collection or a Super Collection. This can be done in the "Collections" section of your store's Toolbox.
If you already have created a collection for another provider (for example Shopping.com), or you just want to have all of your products in your feed, you can skip this step.
Step 2 - Creating your data feed
Creating your data feed
After you have created your collection, go to the
"Marketing -> Product data feeds" section of your store's Toolbox, and click the "Activate" button in the LinkShare section.
- Enter a name for your feed. It's not used anywhere except for your reference.
- Select the collection you created in Step 1
- Enter your Merchant ID that has been provided to you by LinkShare
- Click the "Activate" button
Rakuten Linkshare currently require you to upload a text file. Once you have created your file, it is updated every time to make a change to your products, so you may need to manually upload your file every few weeks. To access
To add in a tracking pixel for LinkShare, you'll need to copy the code below, and paste it int to field titled "Additional Content & Scripts" that you'll find in the "Preferences - Checkout & payment" section of your stores' Toolbox. Make sure you replace "MERCHANTID" on the first line with the Merchant ID that Linksahre have provided you with.
{% capture mid %}MERCHANTID{% endcapture %}

{% capture qlist %}{% for item in line_items %}{{ item.quantity }}{% if forloop.last %}{% else %}|{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% endcapture %}
{% capture amtlist %}{% for item in line_items %}{{ item.price | times: 100 | money_rounded }}{% if forloop.last %}{% else %}|{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% endcapture %}

{% capture namelist %}{% for item in line_items %}{{ item.title | url_encode }}{% if forloop.last %}{% else %}|{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% endcapture %}
