Brian & SAS team, thanks for your hard work.
As an affiliate, I rely very much on good and clean datafeeds.
“Good” here means a well structured pipe delimited data, while “clean” means no CSS, html, or JavaScript code in the datafeed. A well structured datafeed minimizes the possibility of manual data conversion and eliminates human error duing conversion.
I also appreciate very much if the merchants provide another field beside the Category and Sub-Category field for Sub-sub-category (depends on how deep their product structure will go)
Thanks again Brian & SAS team, for letting me grow with you.
