I have to notify them to add the Shareasale feed and make the switch from the CJ feed. Since we are going to be discontinuing the CJ feed the switch might take a little longer. You really might want to try using Make A Page for this feed Plus we are going to be adding WishAds, plus working on some other neat things

Sounds great! Keep up the good work, Deb!

Viator updated the feed today, and added Canadian currency. This is the last time a field change will be made, the Custom Fields will be as they are noted above going forward.

I'm not loxly, but I assume the column heads are those that SAS has been using the last year or two. (I don't really know whether those column names are available on the SAS site anywhere? If not they need to be.) Here are the column names/headings I use on all my SAS datafeed tables:

ProductID|Name|MerchantID|Merchant|Link|Thumbnail|BigImage|Price|RetailPrice|Category|SubCategory|Description|
Custom1|Custom2|Custom3|Custom4|Custom5|LastUpdated|status|manufacturer|partNumber|merchantCategory|merchantSubcategory|shortDescription|ISBN|UPC|

NOTE: The "|" character is the "pipe delminted" column separator you'll see explained at SAS under datafeeds.

NOTE ALSO: I split those headings into two rows here for convenience of display. When you add them to the top of the datafeed in Excel or whatever, or for a MySQL table, they are all the top or heading row.

Thanks Gary! Unfortunately we can't put that header row in the datafeed, it gets removed if we try

And here are the field headings with our Custom Fields easily defined for you:

ProductID|Name|MerchantID|Merchant|Link|Thumbnail|BigImage|USDPrice|RetailPrice|Category|SubCategory|Description|
AUD|EURO|GBP|CAN|Country>City|LastUpdated|status|manufacturer|partNumber|merchantCategory|merchantSubcategory|shortDescription|ISBN|UPC|

The datafeed is updated for February and has 57 drops and 49 added tours. Be sure to get your latest feed to keep up with the newest tours There are also LOTS of great deals in the Shareasale Deals Database that aren't in the main feed since they are shorter term offers.

[loxly]

The datafeed is updated for March! It has 60 drops and 12 adds. Attached is a simple excel workbook with the tour names that were dropped and added if you want to search for them in your pages.

[loxly]

April datafeed has been loaded. It's getting to be time to fly into the busy season... I dislike the phrase but..... it's time to lock and load!

[loxly]

May Datafeed is up, and attached is the May changes file.

I have applied to Viator. My status is being reviewed. Hope to be accepted.

I feel it would be great to integrate your datafeed on my travel website.

Send me an email at deborah at viator dot com with your Shareasale ID so I make sure to check your application. The person that actually usually does the approvals is on vacation this week, and since she likes that control I usually only approve a few while she is out.

[federico09]

I have just sent you an email including my SAS ID.
Thanks

[loxly]

The Viator datafeed has been uploaded for April/May, the next update will be the beginning of June. Be sure you are running the latest and greatest feed since we are now headed into Vacation season.

A *lot* of ABWers are doing *very* well with our program, would like to see a few more of you get active and cash in on the action.

Remember too that we have videos, and plenty of creatives for you to use to promote Viator.

If you have a chance, take 20 minutes and go listen to the podcast(s) we did last spring with Kelly Gillease of Viator. The tips are still valid!

[loxly]

Datafeed is updated! 113 drops and 90 adds. Email me if you would like the changes file, otherwise, just get your links updated. We are headed into high season

Hi,

I am currently using the Viator datafeed on my site and use the links in it to send users to my partner page on Viator.

I was wanting to try linking instead to Viator main site products via Shareasale. Is there some way to use the viator <productcode> to generate a Shareasale URL which goes to a specific product?

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks,

John
