Hi David,
Just downloaded a feed, and the merchant details from the network stated this feed had 130 items included.
I've downloaded the feed to Price Tapestry, and when imported, it only shows 72 items.
I've applied no filters, so I don't know where to 58 items have disappeared to?
Can you suggest anything?
Regards
Paul
Hi Paul,
It is very common for the number of products imported to be less than the number quoted by the merchant. The reasons for products not being imported are either a duplicate product name; or one of more of the required fields (Product Name, Buy URL and Price) are missing.
The former is a common situation with, for example, clothing feeds; where a product with the same name (e.g. "Jumper") may be in the feed several times; but is only differentiated by another field such as "COLOR", or "SIZE". If this is the case, you can use the Text After (or Text Before) filter with placeholders to pull in the value of other fields in order to make unique product names; for example:
"%COLOR% "
(without quotes, and note the space afterwards), which may result in unique product names like "Red Jumper", "Blue Jumper".
If you're not sure which of the above scenarios is the case with this feed if you could email me a link to your site and the name of the feed i'll download it to my test server and take a look for you...
Cheers,
David.
