How do I submit listings to Bing shopping?

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

You could probably use the Microsoft Live Search Cashback module to do it, if it's not still in your store, contact support for a copy.

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

where is it in the store admin?

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

If you're all the way up to date and never enabled it, it's not there. Contact support or check the support download page, they can provide you a copy.

The upload will not work any longer, but I'm 99% sure the file format is the same and you can create, grab via FTP and FTP it to them.

Our service FeedExact.com now supports Bing shopping. In fact I'm upgrading the site this morning with the comparison shopping engines we have added support for recently.

Is feedexact the same as Ultimate Feed Generator?
I have the UFG, would I be able to submit to Bing? If yes, how?

... also, when I try update my UFG and follow the download link, I get this screen...

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

FeedExact was built on Ultimate Feed Generator with an added component that manages submissions to the different CSEs, handles the category mappings, and provides analytics about your store's performance across the different engines. So it's basically a SaaS extension of Ultimate Feed Generator that does a lot of the additional work for you.

That upgrade page has been broken forever :) I should just put up a message that says to email us! Drop us an email at [email protected] and I'll send an upgraded version of UFG right away.

Thanks,
Susan

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

Thanks I will drop you an email.
I am just confused. I know where to submit the feed to for Google shopping, but where do I submit a feed for Bing?

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

We use the Emporium Plus "Template Data Feed" for Bing shopping as well as for Google shopping. Works great.

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

I'm not sure where to submit it - I don't do the programming for that service, but I'll ask the developer and see if I can find out for you.

BTW I fixed the module upgrade download page last night...I guess it was past due! :)

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

Don't know if this is the best way to submit to Bing Shopping but our feed file resides in our site's root directory and we have configured Bing to retrieve it from there on a daily basis.
We use the Emporium Plus "Template data Feed" module and it generates our Bing (& Google) feed and places it in our site's root directory so Bing can get it.
THe feel file's name is bingshopping.txt. You can see it at"

Larry, thanks for the input!

I am just confused. How would Bing know where to look for the file?

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

When you set up your Bing shopping account, you define where your feed file is located.

Go to https://adcenter.microsoft.com/ to get started. After creating an account, you can setup your feed by working your way past the Bing ads and getting to the "tools" tab. There click on the "Bing shopping account management". To define your site and the feed location. navigate to "store setting" and then "catalog management" where you define the location of your Bing feed file, etc.

You can get lost while navigating to where you do this, but keep searching and you will be able to get to where you create the feed.

We struggled a bit with this when setting up our first feed ourselves.

Good luck, Larry

Re: Submit listings to Bing Shopping

Hello forum: Has anyone gotten the following error when submitting a Bing shopping feed?
File is formatted in Unix. Submit a feed in Dos\Windows formatting and UTF-8 encoding

We did, but I now can't remember how we solved the problem.
Inquiring minds want to know.
