https://www.shoplocal.org/help-center.cfm/188/Download-your-Synced-Products

 

B.  FTP Transfer

Shop Local can set up an automated process to FTP deposit/transfer the export file to your server.  For example, we can FTP the file nightly, weekly, etc. (Please note this FTP service is an additional $199/month.) Please email or call us to provide your FTP credentials. 

The FTP transfer will contain 3 files:

  • All active items

Tip

Each brand is assigned a three-letter prefix.   For example, Juliska's prefix is JSK. A SKU number is always preceded by the brand prefix. SKU number 1234 would appear as JSK-1234. Using this system, you can easily tell which of your items came from Shop Local since they have our nomenclature.
