Product feed tools
A set of free, single-purpose tools for product feed work: validating the identifiers in a catalogue, checking a feed file against a channel's requirements, and finding the right Google product category. Each one runs entirely in the browser.
Available tools
- Google product category finder This finder searches the full Google product taxonomy by keyword and returns the numeric category ID to put in google_product_category. Each result also says which vertical requirements that branch of the taxonomy brings with it.
- GTIN, EAN and UPC validator This validator checks whether a barcode is a structurally valid GTIN: the right length for EAN-8, UPC-A, EAN-13 or ITF-14, and a check digit that matches the digits before it. It accepts a whole column pasted from a catalogue at once.
- Product feed validator This validator reads a CSV, TSV or XML product feed and checks it against one channel's requirements: which attributes are missing, which values break a format rule, and which ids are duplicated. It parses the file in your browser.
Everything here runs in your browser
No tool on this page uploads what you paste into it. The validation, the parsing and the taxonomy search all happen on your own machine, which is both the honest way to build them and the reason you can safely paste real catalogue data in.
Frequently asked questions
Do these tools upload my catalogue data?
No. Every tool runs in your browser, so the file or values you paste never leave your machine. Nothing is stored and there is no account to create.
Do I need a feedlab account to use them?
No. They are free and unauthenticated, and they work whether or not you ever use feedlab itself.
