- Sending a product feed to a partner site / distributor
- Uploading products to your own store: You can to optimize the (e.g.) CSV-file first or make sure it meets the field requirements of your shopping cart
Where are Custom Channels?
In your DateFeedWatch Account click ‘Add channel’ icon. Choose a country and from a dropdown menu select ‘Custom channel’.
Then name your custom channel (anything you want) and select the file type for the output feed (csv, xml, txt).

Click the blue ‘ Add Custom Field’ button in the lower left corner. First, you enter a name for this custom field: pick any name you want. Then you can map it (rename, add static value, combine) like in any other channel:
Repeat these steps, to add as many fields as you want.
Obviously, you can exclude products as well, in the In/Exclude tab.
