# Setting up an Idealo feed

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**](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/rules-in-channable.md) to optimize your product data.&#x20;
11. Link the right fields in the [**Mapping** step](/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-mapping-step.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

12. Check your feed in the [**Quality**](https://helpcenter.channable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011029159) and [**Preview**](https://helpcenter.channable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011030759-How-do-I-preview-a-feed-) 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 **Mapping**step. 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.
