We rolled out new functionality that rates a merchant’s Affiliate datafeeds based on a three star system of “Average overall feed quality”, “Very good overall feed quality”, and “Excellent overall feed quality”.

This Datafeed Quality Score is now available to all AvantLink Affiliates.

Detailed information is available for each merchant’s feed quality score, including product count, overall quality and available columns. If they exist (there are none for merchants with an excellent feed quality rating), we also list the feed quality issues/limitations.

Affiliates can access datafeed quality scores when configuring new feed subscription in the Tools section. Follow these steps to access feed quality scores:

1. Login and click on “Tools” from the main menu.
2. Click “Sign-up for new datafeeds”.
3. Select a merchant, then click the “Datafeed Quality Score” link.

Merchants can access their feed quality score(s) by clicking on “Tools” from the main menu, then “Datafeed Administration”.

Insight into the quality score and summary of the product data before downloading and processing feeds should be helpful. What do you think? Drop us a line or feel free comment here.
