merchants datafeeds?

[gorman101]

Hi Eric,

When I get accepted by new merchants I get the option to get their datafeed for their products. I'm a bit unclear how this works with datafeedr. What do I do here?

Hi

1. First, go here: The Factory > Factory menu > Your Merchants
2. Add the new merchants to your "Your Merchants" list
3. Go here: The Factory > Your Store > Store menu > Store Merchants
4. Add the new merchants to your "Store Merchants" list

That's it.

HI Eric,

The above answer is very clearly illustrated in your trainning vids.

I should rephrase my question.

What is the difference in getting a merchants direct datafeed to my site and getting feeds via datefeedr to my site? pros and cons?

Hi

If you get a data feed directly from the merchant, you must parse all of the data from it, import it into some CMS or write your own script to render the data and then get the data to display in the style that you want.

Datafeedr does all of this (and more) for you.

We get the data feeds from the networks. The networks get them directly from the merchants. Therefore, unless the merchant provides a different data feed directly than what they supply to the network (which I don't know why they would), you're getting the exact same thing (except for the headaches).
