Build deep links between your affiliate marketing strategies and high conversions with a Rakuten product feed.
Rakuten brings together hundreds of premium publishers eager to share your messages with millions across the world. And with one more small partner by your side, you can easily transform those viewers into your customers. This beneficial partner is just a simple well-structured text file.
A Shopify feed for Rakuten serves as a reference where publishers can quickly find up-to-date information about your offers. With this file, they won't have to constantly search your store for the latest details and recreate product links for their ads. Instead, your partners will be able to focus more on crafting engaging content that better presents your goods and drives more profits. You're only three steps away from getting these benefits: you just need to create a feed, upload it to Rakuten, and check that everything works as expected.
If you decide to make the feed by hand, you will most likely waste a lot of time and effort. Not only will you need to learn Rakuten's strict requirements regarding the feed's structure, but you will also have to tediously add every product to the feed.
If you instead use our product feed software, you will get a Rakuten feed in just a few clicks thanks to our ready-made template. All you need to do is map your categories to Rakuten's taxonomy and select what data from the store should be included. If necessary, you can modify both the template and the content of your feed.

Stale feeds will only upset your publishers. But you won't have to recreate a feed every time your products change with Mulwi. By default, our app continuously keeps track of your Shopify store and instantly adds the freshest information to your feeds.
To reflect these updates on Rakuten as well, you need to connect the feed to your advertiser account via the feed link from Mulwi. We recommend this method over manual file upload, as Mulwi can regularly send Rakuten new feeds automatically.
