Cernel can ingest product data from product feeds (like Google Shopping feeds) and export enriched content back in feed format. Provide a feed URL or upload a feed file, and Cernel imports your products automatically.

​
How it works

The Product Feed integration reads product data from an XML or CSV feed. You provide the feed source, Cernel ingests the products, and they appear in your Catalog ready for enrichment. You can also configure a feed export to push enriched data to Google Merchant Center or other feed consumers.

​
