How to network your online shop with wein.plus
Four steps to targeted clicks to your wine offers
You can manually create the producers yourself via your profile at wein.plus. To do this, you need to go to the Find+Buy section. There you will find the corresponding button to add them. Important: Make sure that you always enter the correct URL to your online shop. However, you can also use the second method, which offers you more automation.
To make your wine offers available to all users of wein.plus, all we need for this method is the link to the product feed of your online shop. Every modern e-commerce system with standard functions provides an export function for the data of your wine products in the form of a CSV or XML feed. As soon as we receive the link to your product feed, we will initiate all further steps to integrate your wine offers in wein.plus:find+buy. This service is included in the Business Premium membership!
Step 1
- Send us the data of your wine portfolio as URL (link) to your product feed from your shop system. This is the optimal solution for wein.plus:find+buy. If this is possible for you, go directly to step 2. You will find the exact format requirements at the bottom of this page.
