Product feed management and automation benefits
Get an understanding of product feed management and learn about some automation benefits.
Introduction
Automating product feed allows you to keep product data up-to-date across multiple channels automatically. Product feed, also known as a product data feed or data feed, refers to product information files. These feed files vary; see the following list for some commonly-used formats:
CSV - Comma-separated value
JSON - JavaScript Object Notation
TXT - Text files
XLS - Excel file spreadsheet
XML - Extensible Markup Language
Marketers, for instance, use product feed across sales and marketing channels to communicate product data from one end to another. This product data can contain product size information, colors, availability, product images, etc. Online merchants use this data to display product listings to customers in the E-commerce space accurately. Depending on the marketplace, the formatting and structure of the product feed typically follow guidelines set by any specific channel. Automate the display of product feed across several channels to reduce the amount of time needed to optimize data feeds across all channels.

High-quality product feed
Channels rely on product feeds to display product listings to shoppers reliably. The higher the quality of your product feed means the more accessible your products are to vendors and clients by matching merchant-set algorithms.
Accuracy
Product feed must be accurate, as marketplaces and channels rely on accurate data to display your products. Marketplaces can be a highly competitive space, where inaccuracies in your data feed may cause a loss of clients.
