How to create your products feed file

The CSV file must have the following structure (GoogleBase standard)

title link price description image_link product_type brand upc mpn ean isbn

The field order is not mandatory. All the above field must be separated by TAB character. Any other character will not be used as separator, only tab is allowed as field separator.

title - Product title. It is recommended to keep it under 70 chars. Mandatory.

link - URL address of your product from your website. Mandatory.

price - The price of your product in USD. Mandatory.

description - The description of your product. Mandatory.

image_link - Image URL of your product. Mandatory.

product_type - Category of your product. Mandatory.

brand - Product manufacturer.

upc - UPC (Universal Product Code) of your product. This field is not
mandatory,but it is highly recommended to include it.

mpn - MPN(Manufacturer Part Number) of your product. This field is not mandatory,but it is highly recommended to include it.

ean - EAN(European Article Number) of your product. If you dont have upc or mpn field, it is recommended to include an ean number

isbn - ISBN(International Standard Book Number) of your product. This is a must if you are selling books. This field is not mandatory,but it is highly recommended to include it.

Further explanations:

1. Just like a google base feed file, the field sequence:
title link price description image_link product_type upc mpn ean isbn
must appear on the very first line of the file.

2. The field order is not mandatory, you may arrange them in any order you like as long as you use all mandatory fields. For example:
title link price description image_link product_type brand
is a valid basic feed file.

price description image_link product_type link
is also a valid basic feed file.

3. If the following fields: upc, mpn, ean, isbn are missing, your products will still be listed but not as high quality products and they will not rank higher in our search engine. Although those fields are not mandatory, it is highly recommended to include them (at least one of them).

4. Products are being displayed one per line, every line ends with newline character.

5. Use ONLY tab character as field separator, any other separator is not valid.

6. If you have a google base feed file with more fields then we require you may use it, there is no problem in having more fields as long as our minimum requirements are being fulfilled.
