Firstly we need to have a list of products to send to Shopping.com. 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 Google Merchant Center) then you can skip this step.
