Datafeedr Price Comparison Set Set-up Guide

The following guide covers how to display price comparison sets for any product in your WooCommerce store or by using a shortcode.

1

Install WordPress

If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of WordPress.

2

Install & activate the Datafeedr plugins

Go here WordPress Admin Area > Plugins and activate the plugins below:

• Datafeedr API
• Datafeedr Comparison Sets

Important!

Please know that the generating or updating of a single comparison set will require between 2 and 6 API requests. If you are using the API Starter Plan, consider upgrading to the Basic Plan.

3

Add your Datafeedr API keys

Go here WordPress Admin Area > Datafeedr API and enter your API Access ID and API Secret Key. Then save your changes. You can get your API keys here.

4

Select affiliate networks and enter affiliate IDs

Go here WordPress Admin Area > Datafeedr > Networks and select the affiliate networks with which you have an account.

Important!

Don't forget to add your affiliate ID for each network you select. Here's how to find your affiliate IDs.

5

Select merchants

Go here WordPress Admin Area > Datafeedr API > Merchants and select the merchants which have approved your affiliate account.

Important!

Only select merchants which have approved your affiliate account. Selecting merchants which have not approved your affiliate account will result in missed commissions and possibly broken "purchase" links.

Pro Tip!

Only select merchants which are related to the topic of your website. For example, if you have a pet-related store, select PetSmart but not OfficeMax.

[OPTIONAL] Enabling Amazon products (for Amazon Affiliates with API credentials)

If you want Amazon products to appear in your comparison sets, do the following:

1. Go to WordPress Admin Area > Datafeedr API > Configuration > Amazon Settings
2. Add your Amazon Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Tracking ID and Locale
3. Click the [Save Changes] button at the bottom of the page



4. Go to WordPress Admin Area > Datafeedr API > Comparison Sets
5. Change the Cache Lifetime field to 86400



6. Click the [Save Changes] button at the bottom of the page

[OPTIONAL] Display comparison sets for WooCommerce products (for WooCommerce stores)

To display comparison sets for products in your WooCommerce store, do the following:

1. Go to WordPress Admin Area > Datafeedr API > Comparison Sets > Integrations.
2. Check the WooCommerce option



3. Click the [Save Changes] button at the bottom of the page.

Important!

Enabling WooCommerce integration will not generate price comparison sets for all products in your store immediately. Price comparison sets will be generated when the product is viewed for the first time.
