Feedvisor Account Integration

Overview

Feedvisor is an online platform that provides algorithmic repricing and business intelligence solutions for large sellers and brands on Amazon. Their primary goal is to empower online retailers by leveraging AI technology to automate and optimize their pricing and selling strategies. The integration between Sellercloud and Feedvisor is established via FTP and allows you to schedule automatic product exports. This can be achieved via our generic Feedvisor Product Export Plugin or via a profile created with our Export Mapping Tool. This article outlines both Feedvisor integration methods and their respective prerequisites.

You can submit a Sellercloud Support ticket to request additional customizations of the generic Feedvisor Product Export plugin. Note that such modifications will be billable.

Prerequisites

To integrate your Feedvisor account, you must be an active Feedvisor user, obtain your FTP credentials, and prepare the required Product Fields.

Plugin

For this integration method, you should submit a Customer Support ticket to request the installation of our generic Feedvisor Product Export plugin on your server.

Mapping Profile

Alternatively, you can integrate via a profile created with our Export Mapping Tool. To do this, you would also need a template file for the export provided by Feedvisor.

Additionally, you will have to create a Product Export Mapping Profile and a Saved View that will be set on a Scheduled Task.

Custom Product Columns

Create the following Custom product columns in Sellercloud:

  1. FLOOR_PRICE – Decimal data type. Indicates the lowest price at which you are willing to sell your product:
    • If the product isn’t a Shadow, the exported value will be from the custom column FLOOR_PRICE.
    • If the product is a Shadow, the pulled value would be from the Parent’s product custom field FLOOR_PRICE and if:
      • The product’s country code is not US, and it differs from the parent’s; a 20% markup will apply. The result will be multiplied by the company’s conversion rate in Sellercloud, and the end value will be displayed.
      • The country code is US, or the currency code of the shadow and parent products match, no additional calculations will apply.
  2. CEILING_PRICE – Decimal data type. Indicates the maximum price at which you want to sell your product.
    • If the product isn’t a shadow, the exported value will be from the custom column CEILING_PRICE.
    • If the product is a shadow, the used value would be from the Parent custom column CEILING_PRICE and if:
      • The country code of the product is not US, and it differs from the parent’s, a 15% markup will apply. The result will be multiplied by the company’s conversion rate in Sellercloud, and the end value will be displayed.
      • The country code is US, or the currency code of the shadow and parent products match, no additional calculations will apply.
  3. REPRICE – Boolean data type. Indicates if the product should be repriced or not. If the Floor or Ceiling price is 0, the Reprice field will export as FALSE, regardless of the custom column value. In case the product is a Shadow, the value will be pulled from the Parent SKU.

Integrate with Feedvisor

The integration between Sellercloud and Feedvisor could be established via our generic Feedvisor Product Export Plugin or via a Profile created with our Export Mapping Tool.

When utilized, the Feedvisor Product Export plugin matches the criteria for Feedvisor’s format and exports the following data:

  • SKU – ProductID in Sellercloud.

  • ASIN – ASIN in Sellercloud.

Once the plugin is installed on your server and the required custom columns are created, you can automate the data transfer by creating a Scheduled Task for the plugin.
