- Set feed's status in the This feed is currently field to Active.
- Fill in the general feed information:
- Feed Internal Name. Give your feed a descriptive name.
- Filename. Give your feed file a unique name.
- Max Number of Items per File. Limit the amount of products in the feed.
- Compression. Compress the feed file if necessary.
- Protect feed with password. Leave unchecked.
- In the Applied Filters section, you can use filters to choose what products should be included in the feed.
- In the Template section, pick appropriate values for PriceRunner's required Attributes.
- In the Source of prices section, you can set product prices from Markets and Price Lists.
- In the Stock Locations section, select from which locations you want to include stock levels and availability information.
- In the Translation section, you can select a language to translate your feed into.
- Configure the Google Analytics section if you have an analytics campaign.
- Click Save changes to finish and generate the feed.
NOTE
You won't be able to change the Filename after you save the feed.
After saving the new feed, you can customize it if necessary.
2. Connect your store to PriceRunner
You connect your store to PriceRunner through a respective account on the its platform.
Register an account
INFO
PriceRunner requires a product feed URL during registration, which is why you need to prepare a feed beforehand. Create a product feed if you don't have it yet.
In order to get a PriceRunner merchant account, you must send a connection request to PriceRunner's support team.
You can do that by filling out the contact form on the platform's merchant registration page. The form is different for the UK, Sweden, and Denmark.
Afterwards, wait for PriceRunner's reply to schedule a call.
During the meeting, tell that you have prepared a product feed and provide the feed URL from the Mulwi Shopping Feeds app.
To get this URL, navigate to the feed you want to upload, find the Feed block and click the Copy feed URL button in it. The feed URL will be copied to your clipboard.
Once you agree on your cooperation, PriceRunner's team will create a new merchant account, connect your feed to it, and give you the credentials to access this account.
Set up your account
You log in to your merchant account through the Merchant Dashboard. This Dashboard is different for the UK, Sweden, and Denmark.
Next, you should finish setting up your account. This includes adding a monthly spending limit, uploading a company logo, and checking that the product feed works correctly.
Afterwards, ask PriceRunner's staff to review and launch your account.
This process usually takes up to 2 business days.
3. Upload the new feed to PriceRunner
You can either update your currently linked feed or connect a new feed using a different URL.
Update your currently linked feed
If you only changed the product information, then you don't need to do anything: PriceRunner will automatically detect and process these updates.
If you made any changes to the structure of your feed (for example, added a new attribute), then it's best to notify PriceRunner's technical team about it and check that your feed is processed correctly.
Connect a new feed with a different URL
INFO
PriceRunner supports only one product feed per store. Once you connect a new feed, the information from your previous feed will not be shown on PriceRunner.
If you want PriceRunner to fetch a product feed from another URL, you need to send this new URL to PriceRunner's technical team. They will then update your feed URL with the new one you provide.
Here you can find the contacts of the UK, Sweden, and Denmark PriceRunner teams.
