New page

To create a feed for Facebook, you'll need to do three things.

# Create a new collection that contains all of the products you want to include in your product feed.
# Create your data feed.
# Add your data feed on the shopping.com website

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 Facebook follow the instructions below.

<font color="red">IMPORTANT!<br>You need to ensure that all of your products have a unique SKU before submitting your data file to any provider. If you don't do this, they will not accept your submission!</font>

=== Step 1 - Create a collection of products ===

<gallery heights="126px" widths="200px" class="right">Image:Shopping-com-data-feed-01.png|Collections Section</gallery>

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 Collections|Standard Collection]] or a [[Super Collections|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.

=== Step 2 - Creating your data feed ===

<gallery heights="126px" widths="200px" class="right">Image:Shopping-com-data-feed-03.png|Creating your data feed</gallery>

After you have created your collection, go to the <br>"Marketing -> Product data feeds" section of your store's Toolbox, and click the "Activate" button in the Shopping.com section.

# Enter a name for your feed. It's not used anywhere except for your reference
# Select the collection you created in Step 1
# Click the "Activate" button

If you are contacted by Facebook about issues with your data feed, please let us know by forwarding us their email.
