Product Feeds Advanced Tab

  • Updated

General

The Advanced tab is where you set specific policies for your product feed and enable and configure scheduled updates for local product enrichment (or by date for travel products). 

Product enrichment entails two feed components:

  • The base product feed: This file contains all products and product attributes.
  • An additional product enrichment file: These files contain store-specific pricing, which is retrieved during ad-serving.

Feed Update Policy

This section allows you to set a minimum threshold of the number of items you can have in the feed to set warning alerts:

  1. Fail Feed update when the number of items in the feed falls below: 
    • Defaults to 1 item
    • Enter the desired number of items. 
  2. Issue a warning when the number of items in the feed falls below: 
    • Defaults to 20% 
    • Enter the desired percentage

"Out-of-Stock" Items Policy

If the feed contains an Availability column, you can specify how the product should behave if it is out of stock. The options are:

  • Load but don't show in ads (default): Uploads the product to the feed but doesn't serve it in the ad.
  • Load and show in ads: Uploads the product to the feed and serves it in the ads, although the product is out of stock.
  • Do not load: Does not upload out-of-stock products to the feed.

Product Enrich by Store / Location

Use this section to enable product feed enrichment and set a price per item, per store.

For information on using a product enrichment file by stores (or general) locations, see Local Product Enrichment.

  1. Click Enable product enrichment by store.
  2. Click Use In Ad Serving to enable campaign usage.
  3. Enter the product enrichment file URL.
    • For SFTP only: A file name that changes daily is supported. The file URL format is: sftp://login_name:[password@domainname.com]/path_to_file_<<date_stamp>>.csv. The system supports any date format, as long as the newest file comes first when sorted in descending order alphabetically.
    • Example SFTP File URL: sftp://abc:qawsed@userdomain.com/enrich_folder_<<date_stamp>>.dat.gz
  4. Select a file type.
    • Note: These selections require you to map the used file's columns within the Mapping tab.
  5. Optional. Utilize advanced parameters for further enrichment customization.
    1. Select how your file delimits (separates) values within the file.
    2. Select how your file uses quote characters (if any).
    3. Select the escape character used in your file (if any).
      • Escape characters: Characters, usually quotation marks (") or backslashes (\), used in files to preserve literal values.
    4. Enter the date/time format used in your file.
