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.
