Feed Requirements for TradeTracker

Description:

• Use Short Description for cleaner output (no HTML)
• Long descriptions may be truncated by publishers

Brand:

• Ensure all products have a brand assigned
• Create a default value for unbranded products

GTIN/EAN:

• Required for product matching across publishers
• Use 13-digit EAN or 12-digit UPC format

Images:

• Use high-quality images (minimum 500x500px)
• White or transparent backgrounds preferred
• Main product image should show the complete product

Categories are exported as a path:

Electronics > Smartphones > Apple

In Feed Settings → Categories:

• Select which Magento categories to include
• Map to TradeTracker's category structure if required
• Exclude categories that shouldn't appear in the feed

The extension automatically uses:

• Special price if active (within date range)
• Regular price if no special price is set

When a special price is active:

• Original price is included as fromPrice
• Current price as price
• Discount percentage calculated automatically
