Creating a data feed for Shopping.com

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 Shopping.com follow the instructions below.

Step 1 - Create a collection of products

  Collections Section

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.
