What is MERGADO Editor?

MERGADO Editor is a data editor that helps us with managing and editing data in bulk. The data is imported within a feed (we support XML, JSON, CSV and Google Sheets).The users of MERGADO Editor mostly use it for advertising, campaigns, marketplaces, expansion, or even supply chains.

What can MERGADO Editor do?

  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. Integration to various marketplaces and availability feeds. New integrations are available directly in the Editor.
  3. 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.
  4. Simply load and process the data if your feed contains, for example, complex variant products.
  5. With an improved table 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.
  6. Work with elements. 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, multi-value elements and nested elements and attributes.
  7. Target any item in your feed. Need to track down a specific item to resolve availability management or edit a parameter that’s only a few dives in? Element-Path allows you to.
  8. Set a specific re-generation time for your output feed.
