Post subject: How create datafeeds?
|
 |
|
Hi,
I'm a merchant (and the Newbie of the Year), about to sign up an affiliate network. I'm curious about those datafeeds.
I know that they should be csv file, delimited in some way (comma or pipe or whatever). That's not the issue.
My concern is how I create them.
Are there some online tool or something that I can use to crawl the shop for data and export as a csv file? Or do I have to set up a page with such tool myself (using php and MySQL)? Or how?
Advice appreciated, as always.
Cheers,
Dan
EDIT: Corrected a few mssispeligns.

I found info elsewhere and I'm now in the middle of setting up an application that will create the feed.
So, problem solved.

Hope this helps |
Thanks! I have no idea at this point whether it'll be useful (if I need a RSS feed), but the page is duly bookmarked.
Cheers!

Here are some examples hope its hopeful to you a data feed is simply a structured form of information about the products you carry. Here’s how a datafeed works
1) A merchant datafeed is a file with data about products.
2) The file can include photos, diagrams, specs, descriptions, and prices.
3) Each category of information is identified with a code – sometimes called a token.
Data feeds are most commonly based on MS Excel, MS Access, or a text file with every value separated by a delimiter (commas, pipes, or tabs). A data feed forms the backbone from which comparison engines derive and display information about your products so if you have a choice, look for merchants that offer datafeeds it may even be worth rebuilding your affiliate site or creating a new one to take advantage of datafeeds.

Yes, I have the same question. Our company just promoted an affiliate program, and also allowed us to upload a datafeed, but we couldn't upload it, I don't know why, it always says error, and we email the third part of the affiliate, but there is no information now.
