New Merchant Registration
This document is an implementation guide for the myTriggers.com Merchant program. The Merchant program is a means for merchants who do not wish to provide data through a third-party aggregate to provide product data to myTriggers. Merchants will be able to provide this data via FTP. This document is also available in PDF format.
FTP Procedures
Establishing a new data feed involves the following steps:
- myTriggers will establish a unique FTP account on our servers for the merchant to upload files.
- A username and password will be assigned to the FTP account. myTriggers will e-mail the username and password to the merchant contact upon creation of the FTP account.
- The merchant will upload a data feed into the merchant's FTP account.
- myTriggers will read the feed file and update product information.
Note: The myTriggers server hostname is: ftp.mytriggers.com
The Merchant Data File
The Delimited Merchant Data File is a text file where the fields are separated by the Tab Delimiter. Each line corresponds to a unique product and the line has two sections, the Primary section and the Attribute section. The merchant must populate the file with all required fields, as well as any other information provided by the merchant that conforms to the specifications in Appendix A.
There are four (4) fields that have been specified as required fields, and are as follows: SKU, Product Name, Product URL, and Price. These four fields are the absolute minimum fields that myTriggers requires a merchant to send in order to store the product data.
All fields are separated with a tab delimiter. New records are terminated by new line/carriage return. If a field is not being used, its position is preserved in the file with the appropriate tab delimiters.
File Naming and Compression
Data files can be uploaded with any file name. Files can be compressed or uncompressed. Allowable compression formats are GZip, BZip2, or Zip. Files must have an appropriate file extension that corresponds with
GZip .gz
BZip2 .bz2
Zip .zip
RAR .rar
