Product export feeds

Content Studio allows for the selection of products from a number of supported commerce platforms in order to generate content. For those commerce platforms that we don't currently support, product export feeds provide a way of trying out Content Studio with your product data. You can also use product feeds in the cases where:

  • You just want to try Content Studio and do not have access to all the credentials you need to set up an integration.
  • You just want to try Content Studio with some dummy data.

While Content Studio allows users to manually input product information and images, loading products from a feed provides a more efficient way of browsing and selecting products for content generation.

Using product feeds

Product feeds are primarily intended to help you evaluate a Content Studio trial and to demonstrate its features. Loading product information via feeds has the following limitations:

  • The feed or export must be hosted on a secure publicly available URL.
  • The total file size of a feed cannot be larger than 2MB.

If the export of your products is larger than 2MB then you can split the files into smaller feeds, by category or brand, for example.

Importing from a product feed

In Content Studio, to import products from a feed, choose the Commerce Repositories icon and click "Add Commerce Repository". From here you can import from a product feed in JSON, XML, CSV and Google Product feed formats.

Importing a JSON feed

We've provided information about configuring product feeds in each of the supported formats:

Once configured, you can browse and add product data when using Content Studio template such as "Rewrite product description".

How can I export a product feed from my commerce platform?

Most commerce platforms allow you to export your product catalog either directly from their UI, via an automation layer, using an SDK or other methods. You may have a login and access to do this yourself, but if not you should speak to your internal IT team.

Once you have a product feed, simply format as one of the supported file types: JSON, XML or CSV and ensure that the file size is not greater than 2MB.

You may also have an existing Google Product feed that can be used.
