Instant demo

Feeds

Google and Meta show your products in search results, in shopping ads and on Facebook and Instagram. They read your products from a file, a product feed. Your Shopify shop already makes the main file, the primary feed, with an app such as Google & YouTube. It has the price and the stock.

Instant makes a second file, a supplementary feed, with the titles, texts and Google categories from Instant. Google and Meta use each value in it in place of the value in the primary feed. The price and the stock stay as in the primary feed.

Switch to see the product with and without the feed from Instant.

Two more files

Instant can make a file for another channel, and a file that tests a new title.

Custom feed for a marketplace

For another channel, such as a marketplace. You choose the fields and their names. The description is about the product in the third person, because a marketplace writes about the brands that it sells.
