I have just installed the price tapestry in my web server and gone thru your manuals.
To add a merchant, your manual says -
Upload the merchant's product feed into the /feeds/ directory.
I am NEW to this, I have no idea how to get merchant's product feed. I have signed up to amazon.com affiliate network and also signed up to Amazon Web Services.
Can you pls guide me how to get their product feed ?
My target is to register multiple merchants and finally automating data feed but let me understand
Thanks in anticipation
Hello satnav, welcome to the forum!
Amazon don't provide an affiliate datafeed as such; so you won't be able to show their products in the same way as the other merchants on your site; however as you are a member of their affiliate program and have also joined AWS, as soon as you have got other merchants working you will be able to add Amazon products via the API. Click here for all the information and downloads for the Amazon API.
However before that, the thing to do is join one of the Affiliate Networks in your country that provide datafeeds in XML or CSV format. You'll find a list of networks and links here...

Once you have joined a network, the next step would be to apply to a merchant, and once accepted (sometimes it is automatic) you will be able to download their datafeed. That is the file that you then upload to your /feeds/ directory as per the manual; and then from /admin/ you can register and import the file to get started!
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
