# Set Product Catalog Feed Preferences as a Partner

The product catalog is parsed by impact.com into the "Impact Format" which can be downloaded in a range of file formats.

#### Product feed (catalog) file preferences

You can select how you want to download your *Impact Format* product catalogs by changing the *File Format* settings.
