Uploading a product feed

To upload a product feed to Shopping.com, follow the instructions below:

    http://shopping.com/login

    Or click on "Join our Merchant Programme" link at the footer of the Shopping.com pages.

  2. Extract an up-to-date product feed from your Magnet Commerce store.
    To do so, go the "Marketing > Shopping.com" page of your administration panel:


    Figure: Go to the "Marketing > Shopping.com" tab.

    and get the product feed by clicking on "here":


    Figure: Click to get the Shopping.com data feed.

  3. Upload your feed to Shopping.com: You may upload your feed during the enrolment process or afterwards in the Merchant Account Center using the automated feed uploading wizard that is provided. Select the "Products" tab, and then click "Manually Upload your Feed".

    From there you can:
    • Browse to the feed on your computer and upload your feed once (Note: each time you have changes you will need to upload an updated file using the browse option.)

    • Specify an HTTP location or FTP server where you want Shopping.com to grab your file. Please create a URL or FTP login for Shopping.com to use or you can choose to deliver your feed to the Shopping.com FTP server. HTTP or FTP feeds are updated daily.

    4. Feed Updates Notes by Shopping.com:

    • Updates are full-file updates. Do not send incremental/changes-only/delta feeds. Replace the previous feed by overwriting the file.

    • Shopping.com downloads feeds every night at 8pm PST and publishes changes the next morning after 3am PST. If you choose to Browse and upload your feed or submit via HTTP/FTP as mentioned above the feed file needs to be uploaded or posted to the FTP by 7:30pm PST

    • To add or delete items simply insert or delete products from your existing feed

    • To change an item's price, availability, etc. simply change the appropriate data field in your feed
