To ensure a better mapping of your product brands, you can create a XML feed with the brands in your store. The feed is optional, but recommended, and can be set up in the Settings -> Products section, under Brands Feed.
The brands feed needs to be accessible on your website (eg. https://www.yourwebsite.com/brands_feed.xml)
Sample feed file:
\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<brands>
<brand>
<name>NiceShirts</name>
<url>https://www.yourwebsite.com/brands/nice-shirts</url>
<id>10</id>
<image_url>https://www.yourwebsite.com/images/brands/nice-shirts.png</image_url> <!--minimum recommended size is 100x100px -->
</brand>
<brand>
<name>Blue</name>
<url>https://www.yourwebsite.com/brands/blue</url>
<id>11</id>
</brand>
</brands>
In this table you can find the specific requirements for each brand attribute:
Attribute | Required | Observations |
---|---|---|
id | Yes | |
name | Yes | |
url | Optional | If present, must be a valid URL with a length of minimum 10 characters. |
image_url | Optional | If present, must be a valid URL with a length of minimum 10 characters. |
