Title: Amazon Product Listing Ads and Google Base
Post by: sdillon on November 25, 2014, 23:01:21 PM
Can anyone recommend a component that pulls VM products and then pushes them to Google shopping and Amazon product ads?

Thanks for the quick response. 

Is that the only feeder program that is open to VM?  I am working with VM 2, but trying to find out if there are any feeders for Amazon PLA and other comparison sites.

the only other thing we found was this https://www.purpleturtle.pro/cart.php?gid=23

but the site is such a mess  - broken links, placeholder fill text etc we didn't go near it

Looks like they were on the right track and I didn't see bad links but wasn't on too much of the site. Not sure how many sites they are supporting either.  It isn't exactly what I have been comparing it against.

the googlebasexml one is very clearly written and IMHO could be extended / re written to produce Amazon etc feeds

Thanks for the info and links.  I wanted to see what all was out there that people have used and what experiences are out there as we are trying to get a handle on how the feeders work.  The first one listed in the extension directory I was a little familiar with.  We are working on getting a feeder out that works with VM2 (other carts as well) and sends feeds to multiple channels automatically.

Update!!!!!!, we have the feeder working and undergoing testing.  If anyone is interested the program pulls VM 2.5 and 3 site products, you tell it what products to send, set schedule (optional), then software sends to Google Shopping, Amazon, TheFind, and Bing.  Beta use is free and once done into a production software you will get a few months no charge too.  If interested please let me know. 

Software info is at www.fcmpro.com (http://www.fcmpro.com) but email for setup files.
