Get Feed Readiness to 100%

Why Feed Readiness Matters

Marketplace feeds are unforgiving. Even small errors can block large portions of your catalog.

Without feed readiness, brands often face:

• Rejected SKUs and stalled launches

• Repeated back and forth with error files

• Manual fixes for each marketplace

• Inconsistent data across channels

• Delays in going live and selling

Feed readiness ensures your data is complete, compliant, and channel ready before you hit submit.

How to Get Feed Readiness to 100% Step by Step

Step 1: Run Channel Specific Validators

Each marketplace enforces its own rules.

Validators should check for:

• Mandatory attributes by category

• Accepted values and formats

• Category and taxonomy alignment

• Variant and parent child logic

• GTIN or exemption status

• Image compliance

Running validators early prevents rejection loops later.

Step 2: Fix Errors and Data Gaps at Source

Fixing issues in the source data prevents repeat problems.

Common fixes include:

• Filling missing mandatory fields

• Correcting invalid attribute values

• Standardizing size and color terms

• Replacing non compliant images

• Fixing SKU and variant relationships

Avoid patching errors per channel. Fix them once in the core catalog.

Step 3: Prepare Channel Specific Submissions

Once data is clean, format it correctly for each channel.

This includes:

• Channel specific templates

• Attribute mappings

• Field naming and ordering

• Image URL structures

• Price and tax formatting

Correct submissions reduce the chance of partial approvals or silent failures.

Step 4: Submit Feeds and Track Processing

After submission, monitoring is critical.

Track:

• Feed processing status

• Error and warning files

• Accepted vs rejected SKUs

• Time to approval

Quick response during this stage can prevent long delays.

Step 5: Monitor Feed Health Continuously

Feed readiness is not a one time task.

Ongoing monitoring should cover:

• New attribute requirements

• Policy changes by marketplaces

• Image or content flags

• Variant breakages

• Sudden SKU suppressions

Continuous monitoring keeps catalogs healthy as they scale.
