Getting Started with ShoppingFeeder: A Simple Guide to Setting Up Your Account

So, you’ve just signed up with ShoppingFeeder—exciting times ahead! You’re probably eager to start boosting your sales and reaching more customers. But here’s the thing: many new users forget to complete their account setup, which can prevent them from taking full advantage of everything the platform has to offer.

Don’t worry! I’m here to guide you through the setup process so you can hit the ground running.

Why You Need to Complete Your Account Setup

When you register with ShoppingFeeder, you gain access to a powerful tool that connects your online store to various marketing channels like Google Ads and Facebook Ads. However, if you don’t finish your account setup, you won’t be able to make those connections, and your products won’t be seen by potential customers.

Imagine having a fantastic store filled with amazing products but no one knows it exists! Completing your setup is your ticket to visibility and increased sales.

Steps to Complete Your Account Setup

Let’s get you set up step-by-step. Here’s what you need to do:

Log into Your Account

Head over to the ShoppingFeeder website and log in with the credentials you created during registration.

Link Your Google Account

This is a crucial step for getting your products into Google Merchant Center, which is essential for running Google Ads. Here’s how:

From your Dashboard, look for the option that says “Manage Channel.”
Click on “Manage Google.”
When prompted, click “Yes” to sign in to your Google Merchant Center.

(If you’re unsure where to find these options, don’t worry! There’s usually a helpful screenshot to guide you in the support emails you receive.)

Wait for Approval

After linking your Google Merchant Center, it’ll take about 3-5 working days for your feed to be approved. This is an important step because you want to ensure that your products meet Google’s requirements.

What Happens Next?

Once your feed is approved, you’re ready to start running ads! With your products linked to Google Merchant Center, you can create targeted ads that reach your ideal customers.

Final Tips for Success

Keep an Eye on Your Dashboard: Your Dashboard is your command center. Check it regularly for updates and any alerts that might require your attention.
Explore Other Marketing Channels: Beyond Google, there are other channels like Facebook and Instagram that can help you reach more customers. Don’t hesitate to explore these options once you’re comfortable with the basics.

By following these steps, you’ll set yourself up for success without any unnecessary headaches. The sooner you complete your account setup, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of increased visibility and sales.

If you run into any issues or have questions along the way, remember that support is just a message away. Happy selling!
