Where to find the product feed

Post by PPCQueen » Wed Aug 26, 2009 11:32 am

sorry if this is the wrong place, i want to be able to view the product feed before it goes up to google base (shopping.com, etc.). if i just do a "create feed", where can i locate the product feed file? we're on 7.0.2

You should definitely have a data folder there. If it is empty, it means you have to hit create feed before anything will shown there.

You have to access this in your server files, not your AC dashboard.

Hi Tia,

That specific file is only available through ftp or through your hosting files interface, not through the AC dashboard.

oh yes i found it, thank you very much! the only file i was able to find is the shopping.com file, which contains most items but for some reason does not have data in the description field. the other two errored out. in the creation process. this is quite a pain, all i want is a product dump!!!

thanks a bunch!
