    Automate Amazon Feeds

    Is there a better way to automate Amazon product feeds? We are using Template Data Feed from Emporium Plus to make a txt feed. One problem is the photos - we have 1-3 images designated main second third (so creative!). We can export the first one, but any or all of the remaining ones can only be exported as a list with commas. Amazon won't accept this.

    Is there any way to do an XML feed?

    Also any recommendations for easy entry of Amazon orders into Miva?

    I'll answer the last question first. Yes, there's a module for that:

    http://www.vikingcoders.com/store/me...IC_AMZORDRIMPT (Be sure to select MM version 5)

    For getting product info into Amazon, I have a rather complex custom module that does it all automatically. It provides admin settings that let you enter all the Amazon-specific data for your products. Then you can push a button to generate a new feed on the entire store. This eliminates the need to maintain a separate data file for Amazon, and to edit that file every time you change something about a product in the store. If that's of interest, you can drop me a line by email to discuss it.

      You didn't ask me about adding new tokens for image1, image2, etc. You asked if it could be done with the version of template data feed that you had. I told you I had not looked at the code to see what would be needed for individual tokens. You replied you had a solution by putting the 2-10 image token at the end of the columns. You did not follow up after that saying it did not work and asking if I would look at new tokens. At most you are probably talking about a 15 minute job to add new tokens.
