Getting Started with ShoppingFeeder: A Step-by-Step Guide to Listing Your Products
If you’ve just signed up for ShoppingFeeder and are eager to get your products out there on platforms like Google and Facebook, you’re in the right place! Many new merchants face a common challenge: how to successfully list their product catalog on various channels without running into issues. Let’s break it down into manageable steps so you can get started on the right foot.
The Challenge: Setting Up Your Product Feeds
When you’re trying to list your products on different platforms, it can feel a bit overwhelming. You might have multiple feeds to manage, and if they’re not set up correctly, it can lead to conflicts or confusion. For instance, if you have existing feeds, you need to ensure that the new feed from ShoppingFeeder takes priority. Otherwise, the wrong products might be displayed, or your ads might not run as expected.
Step-by-Step Solution
Now that we understand the problem, let’s dive into the solution! Here’s how to get your feeds set up correctly so you can effectively promote your products.
#### 1. Set Your Google Feed as Primary
If you’ve submitted your product catalog to Google Merchant Center, it’s crucial to make sure that your ShoppingFeeder feed is set as the primary source. This ensures that Google pulls the correct product information for your ads and reduces the risk of errors.
- How to do this: Log in to your Google Merchant Center account. Find the settings for your product feeds and set the ShoppingFeeder feed as your primary feed.
#### 2. Connect Your Facebook Business Manager
Listing your products on Facebook can significantly boost your visibility. To do this, you’ll need to connect your Facebook Business Manager account to ShoppingFeeder.
- Steps to connect:
- Log in to your ShoppingFeeder account.
- Go to the integration settings and select Facebook.
- Follow the prompts to link your Facebook Business Manager account.
Once connected, ShoppingFeeder will automatically create a new product catalog on Facebook, making it easy for you to start advertising.
#### 3. Submit Your Feed to Shop.com
If you wish to list your products on Shop.com, ensure you’ve submitted the correct feed to your account manager. This is just another step in making sure your products are visible on all the platforms you’re targeting.
- What to do: If you haven’t done this yet, simply send your Shop.com account manager the feed link provided by ShoppingFeeder. They’ll handle the rest!
