Source feeds are either scheduled URLs or files that contain all of the product info from your online store. Most source feeds look something like this:
sftp://feedmanagementplatform.com/:incoming-files/folder/filename.csv
filename.csv
Upload Your Source Feed
You can upload your source feed in 1 of 3 ways:
Paste your source feed URL into the Product Feed URL field
Retrieve your source feed from Meta Commerce Manager*
Upload a CSV file from your computer
Confirm the type of products & feed format from the dropdowns:
Hidden Comments
Sometimes source feeds contain hidden comments. If you’re having issues uploading, try checking the Feed Has Comments option and then upload again.
STFP Options
Source feeds linking to an SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) require a username and password to connect. You can input this information under the SFTP Options.
Source Feed Requirements
The source feed must include the following fields (column titles are case sensitive):
id
title
description
availability
condition
price
link
image_link
brand
fb_product_category
google_product_category
SFTP Feeds (Feedonomics Specific)
Feedonomics is a popular feed management platform that outputs feed URLs in sftp format.
Feedonomics URLs usually look something like: sftp://app.feedonomics.com:/incoming/brand_name/feedfile.csv
Make sure that you are inputting the correct file path after the root domain name
Make sure that you use a ":/" before "incoming" in the URL
XML Feeds
Marpipe requires the same XML formatting that Meta outlines here.
If using XML format, make sure that SKUs are represented using "item".
<item>
<id>123</id>
<image_link>myimage.jpg</image_link>
...
</item>
