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.
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 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
Step 3 - Adding your data feed on the shopping.com website
Adding your data feed on the shopping.com website
Once you have signed up for a Shopping.com merchant account, you can then add your data feed. On the home page of the Merchant Centre, click the "Submit Datafeed" button.
Choose your data feed format
On the next screen, choose "Retrieve from my own FTP or HTTP location"
Paste in your URL
On the next screen, paste in the URL of your data feed that you have copied from the "Marketing -> Product data feeds" section of your store's Toolbox. In most browsers, you can right-click on the URL and copy it.
When you have done this, click the continue button.
Paste in your URL
You can safely skip past the next screen. All of the fields should be correctly assigned.
