Supported Shopping Channels and Marketplaces

Here is a list of some of the shopping channels listed on FeedGeni and a brief expose of how they work.

Sortprice
The Sortprice online shopping comparison site boasts about being the first to offer retailers a way to sell their products directly on their Facebook pages. They also boast about being the largest social commerce platform on Facebook. Additionally, they offer a wide range of engagement tools that help online retailers convert their fans to customers. They allow merchants to have exclusive unlimited clicks on all of their product listings as opposed to other shopping sites that use the Pay Per Click method.

Google
Google uses its Merchant Centre to help online merchants display their products on their shopping site, search, and other partner sites. This way, merchants have the opportunity to display their products all around the internet and get millions of potential customers. Google has various means of doing this by setting an AdWords campaign that is linked to your product data in your Google Merchant Centre account. Also cited as a comparison shopping site, it gives buyers the leverage to make informed decisions about their purchases. Google doesn’t charge for getting set up on their Merchant Centre, but it uses the Pay Per Click module; which means that you only pay Google when a buyer clicks on your product. Currently, Google supports selling to the following countries: Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States.
