Set Product Catalog Preferences as a Partner

When you download a product catalog (also called a product feed) in Impact Format, you can choose the file type and whether it's compressed. Set your preferences once, and every Impact Format catalog you download will use them.

Set your file preferences

1. From the top navigation bar, select [User profile] → Settings.
2. Below the Technical section, select Data Feeds.
3. Select [Edit] next to Product Feed to edit the section.
4. Select the File Format. You can select XML, CSV, or TAB.

   • CSV and TAB are both plain text formats; CSV is comma-separated, TAB uses tab as a separator.
5. Choose whether you want the file compressed (gzip) or not. Compression is recommended for larger product catalogs.
6. Select Save.

   • See the sample spreadsheet below for a description list of all parameters and an example of a product catalog.

   

Note: To open compressed product catalogs, you will need to make use of decompression software, like WinZip , WinRAR , or 7-Zip .
