Building your feed
To run its services, Usizy needs to receive your product inventory through a feed. Usizy will maintain the highest level of coverage possible by loading your feed on a nightly basis.
Getting the feed ready…
- Your feed should include all products from your eCommerce catalogue, whether they are in stock or not, for the best quality of service and analytics from Usizy.
- The feed should be shared with Usizy through an accessible URL using the “.csv” or “.xml” file format.
- To save time, you may base your feed on your existing eCommerce “Google Shopping Data” Feed if you already use it.
- Each available product size variation should be split into separate rows and be included, regardless of stock availability.
Please review our list of essential variables. Additional variables are available to receive dashboard analytics and metrics, or to provide information needed for additional products.
