Any platform feed

Create a feed for any platform

Instead of uploading a spreadsheet to every platform you sell on, give each one a single link to your products. The app keeps that link up to date for you.

What is an Any platform feed?

An Any platform feed is a product file the app keeps online at a fixed link. You paste that link into any platform that accepts a product feed, like a TikTok catalog, Pinterest Catalogs or Microsoft Merchant Center. The platform comes back to the link on its own schedule and picks up your latest prices and stock.

The file uses the Google Shopping format. Most selling platforms read it as is.

Selling on Google or Facebook and Instagram? Use a Google feed or a Meta feed instead. You get approval results right in the app.

Before you start

  • Check that the platform accepts a feed link (also called a scheduled feed, data feed URL or catalog URL). Most do. Some only accept a file upload.
  • Give each product a description, an image and stock. Products without them are held back from the file. See Optimize your feed.

Set it up

Choose Any platform

Go to Manage feed, click Create feed, then click Any platform.

Choose a sales channel dialog with the Any platform option for TikTok, Pinterest and more

Name the feed and pick its market

On the General tab, enter a Feed name you'll recognise, like "TikTok - US". Shoppers never see it.

Under Target market, pick a Language and a Currency. Your titles and prices are sent in these. There is no country to pick: the feed uses your store's main market.

Choose the products

On the Products tab, choose All products, Specific collections or Specific products. Under Variants, choose All variants to list each size or colour on its own, or First variant only for one listing per product.

Check the product details

The Attributes tab decides which Shopify detail goes into each field of the file. The app fills the common ones for you. See Fields on each tab.

Save the feed

Click Create feed. The feed page opens and shows Building your feed from your catalog… with a progress bar. A new feed takes a few minutes.

Copy the feed link

When the feed is ready, click Copy feed URL at the top of the feed page. You'll see Feed URL copied. The button stays grey while the feed is still building.

Paste it into your platform

Open your platform's catalog or product feed settings, choose to add products from a link (often called scheduled feed or data feed URL), and paste the link. Set the platform to fetch it daily.

Check it worked

Paste the link in a new browser tab. You'll see your products as a list of items, each with its title, price, stock and image link.

The app can't see whether the other platform approved your products. Check approval results in that platform's own catalog page. Nothing changes in your Shopify store.

Fields on each tab

Attributes

Each field shows a tag: Required, Recommended or Optional. In a text field, click Insert variable (</>) or type / to add a value that changes per product. You can insert details from these groups: Product (title, vendor, type, description, tags, category path, SEO title, meta description, URL handle), Variant (title, SKU, barcode, price, compare-at price), Shop (name, domain), and Metafield, Variant metafield or Collection metafield.

FieldWhat you can useHow to optimize it
ID or SKUFeed ID + variant ID by default. Can also use SKU, barcode, product ID, URL handle or a metafield.Keep the default. It's unique and never clashes. You can't change it after the feed is created.
TitleProduct title + variant name by default, or any mix of text and variablesPut what shoppers search first: brand + product type + key detail, like {Product vendor} {Product title} - {Variant title}. Don't use all caps or promo text like "Free shipping".
DescriptionProduct description by default, or text and variablesDescribe the product, not the store. Mention material, use and fit. Products with no description are held back.
Product page on your online storePrimary domain by default, or another domain of your storePick the domain shoppers buy on.
BrandProduct vendor by default, or text and variablesUse the real brand name, not your store name, unless you make the products yourself.
Image linkVariant image (default), Product image 1 to 10, or Design templateUse the photo that shows the exact variant. Turn to a design template for a branded image.
Additional image linksUp to 5 of Product image 1 to 10Add angles, close-ups and lifestyle shots. Shoppers see them when they open the product.
Google product categoryShopify category (mapped) by default, or Custom categoryPick the most specific category you can. "Shoes > Sneakers" beats "Apparel".
Product typeYour Shopify product type by default, or text and variablesUse your own category path, like "Women > Shoes > Sneakers". It helps you split ad campaigns.
ConditionNew, Refurbished, Used, or a metafieldLeave New unless you sell second-hand or refurbished items.
GTIN, UPC, EAN, JAN or ISBNVariant barcode by default, or a metafieldFill it for every branded product. It's the strongest signal for approval and matching.
MPNVariant SKU by default, or variant barcode, or a metafieldUse the maker's part number when there's no barcode.
These are one-of-a-kind or vintage products with no identifierTick boxTick it for handmade, custom-made or vintage items. GTIN and MPN turn off.
Custom labelUp to 5 labels, text and variablesGroup products for bidding: "bestseller", "on sale", "high margin", "season". Shoppers never see them.
These are adult productsTick boxTick only if the products are adult content.
These are bundlesTick boxTick when one price covers several different products grouped by you.
Age groupNewborn, Infant, Toddler, Kids, Adult, or Not includedSet Adult for most stores.
GenderMale, Female, Unisex, or Not includedMost platforms ask for it on clothing.
ColorA fixed value or a metafieldUse a plain colour name shoppers type, like "Navy", not a code.
SizeA fixed value or a metafieldMatch your size chart, like "M" or "42".
MaterialA fixed value or a metafieldName the main fabric, like "Cotton". It helps searches like "linen shirt".
PatternA fixed value or a metafieldName it when it matters, like "Striped" or "Floral".

Price, sale price and stock always come from Shopify, so they're not fields in the form. They stay correct on their own.

Optimize your feed for other platforms

TikTok, Pinterest and Microsoft review each product before showing it, with rules close to Google's. Fixes that pass there usually pass everywhere. Work in this order:

  1. Clear what blocks the file. Feed health on the feed page lists them, like Missing description, Out of stock or Missing product image. Only products marked Included go into the file.
  2. Add identifiers. Fill GTIN from your barcode, or tick the no-identifier box for handmade items.
  3. Use a vertical image on TikTok and Pinterest. Under Image link, choose Design template and 4:5. See Image templates.
  4. Write titles for the platform's search. On TikTok and Pinterest the title is often all a shopper reads. Lead with the brand and product type.
  5. Add custom labels. Most ad platforms let you bid by these labels.

Good to know

  • Only products marked Included on the feed page go into the file. The feed page shows how many: Included and Excluded.
  • The link never changes. Edits reach the file at the next update, and the platform picks them up at its next fetch.
  • To rebuild the file right away, click Update feed on the feed page.
  • One feed has one language and one currency. For another market, create another feed.
  • More action on the feed page lets you Duplicate feed, Export CSV or Delete feed. Deleting the feed breaks the link on every platform that uses it.

FAQs

Which platforms can read this feed?

Any platform that accepts a Google Shopping feed link. That includes TikTok catalogs, Pinterest Catalogs and Microsoft Merchant Center. If your platform only takes a file upload, open the link, save the file and upload it, but then it won't update on its own.

Why does my file have fewer products than my store?

Products that are out of stock, or missing a description or image, are held back. Open the feed page, click Excluded and fix the reasons listed under Feed health.

Can I use one link on several platforms?

Yes. Paste the same link into each platform. Create a separate feed only when a platform needs a different language, currency or product set.

Does the link change when I edit the feed?

No. The link stays the same for the life of the feed. Only deleting the feed removes it.

Why do I see Google checks on an Any platform feed?

The file uses the Google Shopping format, and most platforms follow the same rules. Fixing those checks helps your products pass review everywhere.
