Getting Started with NX Feed: A Quick Start Guide
New to NX Feed? This guide will walk you through setting up your first feed in under 10 minutes. Let's get your products live on your favorite shopping channels.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- ✅ Your product data source ready (URL, Google Sheet, or file)
- ✅ Access to your advertising platform (Google Merchant Center, Meta Business, etc.)
- ✅ 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted time
Step 1: Create Your Account
Head to NX Feed registration and create your account. You'll need:
- Email address
- Password
- Team name (for your organization)
Once registered, you'll land in your dashboard — your command center for all things feed.
Step 2: Connect Your Data Source
Click \"Create Feed\" and choose how to import your products:
Import Options
-
🔗 URL Import
Enter the URL of your existing product feed. We'll fetch and sync it automatically.
-
📊 Google Sheets
Connect your Google account and select your product spreadsheet.
-
📁 File Upload
Upload a CSV, TSV, XML, or TXT file directly.
Pro Tip
Start with a small test file (10-20 products) to verify everything works before importing your full catalog.
Step 3: Create a Channel
Once your data is imported, create a Feed Channel — this is where you configure how your products will be formatted for a specific platform.
- Click \"Add Channel\" on your feed
- Choose a template (Google Shopping, Facebook Catalog, etc.)
- Give it a name (e.g., \"Google Shopping - Main\")
Step 4: Map Your Fields
Field mapping tells NX Feed how to translate your data into the channel's format:
| Your Field | → | Channel Field |
|---|---|---|
| product_name | → | title |
| sku | → | id |
| retail_price | → | price |
| main_image | → | image_link |
NX Feed will auto-detect common field names, but you can customize the mapping for each field.
Step 5: Add Optimization Rules (Optional)
Want to enhance your feed? Add optimization rules:
- Exclude — Remove out-of-stock products
- Include — Only show products with images
- Override — Add \"Free Shipping\" to titles over $50
You can always add rules later, so don't worry about getting everything perfect on day one.
Step 6: Generate & Download
Click \"Generate Feed\" to create your output file. You'll get:
- 📥 Download link — Save the file locally
- 🔗 Feed URL — A shareable link that updates automatically
- 📧 Delivery options — Email, FTP, or API push
Step 7: Submit to Your Channel
Take your feed URL and add it to your advertising platform:
📍 Where to Submit
- Google: Merchant Center → Feeds → Add Feed
- Facebook: Commerce Manager → Catalog → Data Sources
- TikTok: TikTok Seller Center → Product → Bulk Upload
You're Live! 🎉
Congratulations! Your products are now connected to your advertising channels. From here, you can:
- Add more channels to the same feed
