Connect the source your supplier already shares
Add an HTTP or HTTPS feed URL, an FTP or SFTP source, or a supported supplier API. Feednaro reads CSV, XML, JSON and XLSX data. Each source keeps its own access settings and explicit currency. Compatibility depends on the supplier's connection and file structure, so inspect a real file before relying on a scheduled refresh.
A new workspace starts with your own sources and offers. The public website's comparison is an illustrative preview; connecting a supplier starts a separate operational record in your signed-in workspace.
Review the mapping against actual supplier values
Source inspection shows columns and sample values, suggests supported fields and leaves uncertain choices for review. Choose the relevant sheet or record location, map the supplier SKU and available product identifiers, and confirm price, availability and minimum-order fields. Review the number notation as well: a decimal comma and a thousands separator can change the meaning of a price.
| Supplier column | Feednaro field | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| article_no | Supplier SKU | A stable code for this supplier's offer |
| net_price | Unit price | Currency, decimal notation and the quoted unit |
| available_qty | Supplier availability | The supplier's reported available quantity |
| order_min | Minimum order | The minimum quantity attached to this offer |
Choose how invalid rows should be handled
Validate the reviewed settings before saving. Each source has an invalid-row policy: stop the whole import or accept valid rows with a warning. Duplicate supplier SKUs are rejected rather than resolved by guessing. A malformed file or an import with no valid rows does not replace the previous good offers.
When a snapshot is only partly accepted, earlier values for rejected or absent offers retain their earlier timestamps. The warning matters: a completed attempt can contain useful new rows without making every earlier offer current.
Follow scheduled refreshes with the result in view
Set the check frequency and review import activity to see what happened. Receipts distinguish successful reads from failed attempts, and the archived original file remains available for investigation. Price observations come from imported offers, giving later comparisons a recorded source and time.
If the supplier changes a mapped column, Feednaro stops updating offers until the change is reviewed. Editing connection, currency or mapping settings also requires verification before the affected offers return to current lowest-price comparisons. Existing history stays available while you repair the source.
