Export/download your Product Syncing items / get a data feed of your items

There are two ways we can provide you with data. You can either download the data manually or receive it via automated FTP transfer. 

A. Manual Download

Please follow these steps:

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

 

B.  FTP Transfer

Bridge 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
  • Archived items
  • Items designated as 'new'

If you choose to receive an Excel file, the worksheet will contain the following columns:

** SKU_Edited_Date: if any of the variables with a double asterisk change, the time stamp SKU_Edited_Date will be updated. This alerts your software that a recent change has been made and you'll likely wish to refresh this data.

The above columns have certain criteria. For example, some columns require numeric only. data.

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 Bridge since they have our nomenclature.
