Setting up a To Be Dressed feed

Step 1: General feed setup

After creating a To Be Dressed account, Follow these steps to set up your To Be Dressed feed:

Step 1.1: adding the feed

Add a new Conrad feed: First, create a new Conrad feed by navigating to: Feeds > +Add new feed and search for 'To Be Dressed'. Click on the feed, proceed to name the new feed, and Click 'Continue'. 

Step 1.2: Categorization 

You can start by generating and filling in categories, or by manually adding categories in the Categories step, until 100% of the products are categorized.

Step 1.3: Rules

Create different Rules to optimize your product data. For example, take a look at our common rules support article.

Step 1.4: Finalize & Quality

Link the right fields in the Finalize step.

Check your feed in the Quality and Preview steps. If there are any errors for mandatory fields, solve these first by optimizing your product data with rules and/or connecting the right fields in the Finalize step. Repeat if needed.

Step 2: Implement the To Be Dressed specifications

There are a few specifications that are To Be Dressed specific and need to be included in the feed. The list below shows you these specifications and how to implement them into your To Be Dressed feed.

1. An ID code that includes the size of the product
   When sending your products to To Be Dressed the ID code format of these products needs to follow the format "GroupID"|Size" where the "GroupID" is an umbrella code for all products which differ in size both have the same color. You can use a rule like the one below to format the ID codes into the To Be Dressed format. It is a good idea to add a new field for this new ID code.
   
2. Calculate the discount
   To Be Dressed would like to receive a field in which the discount is given in percentages. If your import does not contain a discount field, you can use the rule below to calculate the discount. It is also a good idea to add a new field in which to place the discount.
