What is the MERGADO Editor?

MERGADO is a “data editor” that helps you with advertising, campaigns, marketplaces, expansion, or even supply chains.

MERGADO Editor can

  1. Connect any data files or data streams between systems, in addition to different product feeds. It will also connect any - standard or non-standard - form of advertising, accounting system connections after processing supplier data (the Editor already allows to process any data). It’s up to you how you use it.
  2. Connect any other integration. You can easily handle complex feeds with many nesting or attributes and other complicated feeds directly in the Editor using custom format.
  3. With an improved tabular view brings a unique way to control your data. The view allows you to work with your data directly in the Editor just like in other spreadsheet editors.
  4. Work with element. You can change the order of elements in XML or the order of columns in CSV. You can even wrap elements in CDATA. Create and manage single, multiple elements and nested elements and attributes.
  5. Integration to various marketplaces and inventory feeds. New integrations are available directly in the Editor without the need to create a custom format.
  6. Target any item in your feed. Need to track down a specific item to resolve inventory management or edit a parameter that’s only a few dives in? Element-Path allows you to.
  7. Simply load and process the data if your feed contains, for example, complex variant products.
  8. Set a specific re-generation time for your output feed. This feature is currently under development).
