<UNIQUE DEAL ID> - To detect for deals already imported <UNIQUE MERCHANT ID> - To match deal to merchant <CATEGORY ID> - Can be a category name but ID is more stable <TITLE> - For CODES this should contain the save amount only, for OFFERS we prefer it contain the product name only (unless it's a cateogory or sitewide offer) <DESCRIPTION> - Prefered not to contain codes or expiry dates <CODE> - If no code required then leave blank and it will be imported as an offer otherwise we will require a <DEAL TYPE> field <START DATE> <EXPIRY DATE> - All deals must have an expiry date, if ongoing we will set a default expiry then re-import if still live <PRODUCT IMAGE URL> - Used if a single product is on offer <DEEP LINKED AFFILIATE LINK> - Must not be encrypted
Merchants Feed Requirements
<UNIQUE MERCHANT ID> <CATEGORY IDs> <MERCHANT NAME> <MERCHANT URL> - e.g. www.walmart.com <MERCHANT LOGO URL> <HOME PAGE AFFILIATE LINK>
Category Feed Requirements - Not essential but would make life easier for category mapping.
<CATEGORY NAME> <CATEGORY ID>
The above feed reuqirements will allow us to fully automate the import process.
