Automatic 'Smart' fields for Shopping feeds
Our feeds now support 'smart' apparel, GTIN, and product_type attributes, which greatly improve the data quality scores for retailers of all types.
These fields are computed from your product data using proprietary scoring algorithms, keyword lists, and parsing patterns refined over the years from experience with multiple retailers. We studied the Google Product Feed specifications closely to get the best results.
These fields are completely automatic, and enabled by default on most feeds. Because this automatic optimization is the secret sauce of our system, we do not post too many details publicly. If you have more specific questions, please contact us.
For example, 'color' is often mapped to 'option_color' by most feed generators. In many cases, 'option_color' is blank because the product has no variations. This results in low data quality scores. Our system will search in other appropriate fields for valid color names if 'option_color' is not found.
