PPCDATAFEED

Create a feed export

Pick the data source and a preset, filter the products, map the fields, preview the file, save - the URL is ready.

  1. Go to Feed Exports and click Create New Feed Export.
  2. Enter a Name and pick the Data source. The screen shows the total and the filtered product count.
  3. Choose the Feed type: Google Shopping, Google Custom Feed, Google Page Feed, Facebook, Criteo, Custom XML, Custom CSV or Data Source Tags (all fields as they are).
  4. Conditions - optional filters: only in-stock products, one brand, price above X. Operators: contains, does not contain, exact match, contains any, is empty, is not empty, greater, less and their variants. CONDITIONS PREVIEW shows how many products stay.
  5. Mapping - for a channel the fields are filled in by themselves: the system finds the matching feed columns by name and synonyms, and every row is marked REQUIRED, RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL. Change any of them: pick another field - the import fields of your data source work directly, and we recommend them - type a fixed value, or Combine values…. Variant settings lets you add fields for product variants.
  6. Click File Preview to see the first 100 products exactly as the channel will get them.
  7. Click Save Template. The export is generated and gets its Feed URL in the list.
New feed export “Google Shopping - EU”: data source Demo store, Total products 48, Filtered products 48 (100%), feed type Google Shopping with More Settings, Secure File, Conditions with CONDITIONS PREVIEW and + Add Condition; Mapping - 12 required, 6 recommended, 6 optional, 17 selected tags, the first rows description, availability, brand, condition, google_product_category (Google Product Category), id, image_link and price
Every export has its own URL and its own filters - one data source can feed Google with the whole catalog and Meta with bestsellers only.

If it does not work

  • The channel shows old products: the export always serves the newest file, so check the data source - Why is my data source not updating?.
  • Meta does not see the images of a Custom XML export: switch the Prefix "G:" namespace setting off - Meta reads <image><url> without the prefix.
