Setting up an Idealo feed

UI update: The settings for Feeds and the Feeds steps have been redesigned! Some visuals and instructions may not be up-to-date.

Idealo is a German price comparison service launched in Germany in 2000, and they allow users to compare prices on a range of products from hundreds of shops.

Follow these steps to set up your Idealo feed:

1. Navigate to [Your project] > Channels.

2. Click +Create channel.

3. Search for "Idealo" and 'Idealo'.

4. Next, fill in your Feed name

5. Select your Target country from the dropdown.

6. Select the Type of market, which is the specific category or sector of the retail market for your products.

7. Click on Advanced settings to edit more settings for your feed.

8. Once you have completed your feed settings, click Continue.

   
9. Categorization is not required for this channel, and can be skipped. The reason is that Idealo wants the categories from your store.

10. Create different Rules to optimize your product data.

11. Link the right fields in the Mapping step.

Tip: For a description of the channel fields, hover over the gray question mark icons with your cursor. Make sure to at least fill in all the mandatory fields, which are blue.

1. 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 Mappingstep. Repeat if needed.

When your Idealo feed is all setup, activate the feed in the Preview tab of the feed and run it. You will now see a URL in the Preview step. You can use this URL to upload the feed into your Idealo account.
