I have feeds that are Coupon Codes and a few of the fields are not being detected for selection.
I have tried to import the feed file into the voucher codes folder however, I believe that voucher codes works a bit different then the coupon code feeds as in price tapestry looks for products that the coupon code is supposed to be linked to and this is not the case with the coupon code feeds i use.
They is no coupon code/product relationship with the feeds provided to my by my networks they are stand alone coupon codes that are to be used on the merchant website during checkout.
They are coupon codes much like the ones found on the very popular websites where it might save you 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% off etc...
So they basically need to have there own product like page with a "Copy Coupon Code" button that hides the code until they click to reveal the code and that opens the merchant page and sets the cookie.
So i am thinking this might be why my coupon code feed fields are not being detected because price tapestry works differently.
Here is an example of my coupon code fields. The Bold fields are not selectable. It also requires a description however, there is no description with some of the coupon codes. The offer description in the feed is the name.

Hi David,
You're correct - the voucher code import is about applying codes to products rather than creating a "voucher code site" as such. To show voucher codes in this way you'd need to treat them as "products" by most appropriately matching up fields to correspond to Product Name, Buy URL and Price.
I would suggest Product Name as OFFERDESCRIPTION, Buy URL as CLICKURL and for Price, just register an empty field (for XML, the containing element can always be used which will be the first field in the drop-down list).
Click Register (it won't import at this point because the price value will be invalid) and then go to Filters for the feed and add a Text After filter to the Price field. In the text box on the configuration page, enter:
0.00The "products" will then import, with a price of 0.00. It would then be no problem to modify the front end so as not to display a price of 0.00 if required - let me know if you're not sure at all of course...
Cheers,
David.
