To create a feed for the Getprice.com.au site, you'll need to do three things.

  1. Create a new collection that contains all of the products you want to include in your product feed.
  2. Create your data feed.
  3. Add your data feed on the Getprice.com.au website

Product data feeds are updated whenever you make a change to your products, so you can be sure that they're up to date. To create a data feed for Getprice.com.au follow the instructions below.

IMPORTANT!
You need to ensure that all of your products have a unique SKU before submitting your data file to any provider. If you don't do this, they will not accept your submission!

Step 1 - Create a collection of products

Firstly we need to have a list of products to send to Shopping.com. To create this, you'll need to create a collection that contains all of the products you want in your data feed. You can create a Standard Collection or a Super Collection. This can be done in the "Collections" section of your store's Toolbox.

If you already have created a collection for another provider (for example Google Merchant Center) then you can skip this step.

Step 2 - Creating your data feed

After you have created your collection, go to the
"Marketing -> Product data feeds" section of your store's Toolbox, and click the "Activate" button in the Getprice.com.au section. If you can only see a feed for Facebook, it means that you're on a plan that doesn't include feeds for other services. You should consider upgrading your plan if you want to take advantage of more advanced features like data feeds.

  1. Enter a name for your feed. It's not used anywhere except for your reference
  2. Select the collection you created in Step 1
  3. Click the "Activate" button

Step 3 - Add your data feed on the Getprice.com.au website

Getprice.com.au have their own instructions on their site for submitting your feed. All you need from your store is the Feed URL, which can be found after you have created your feed.

If you are contacted by Getprice.com.au about issues with your data feed, please let us know by forwarding us the email.
