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.

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.
