From "My Account > Add Feed", create a Share-A-Sale feed for your Yahoo Store and configure the settings. Leave the FTP Username, Password, and Server at their default values for now.
From "Manage > Define Fields", edit the Merchant ID field and enter your ShareASale Merchant ID in the "Value" box. You can obtain your Merchant ID by logging into your ShareASale account and looking in the header of the page.
Next, edit the Category and Sub-category fields (not Merchant Category). Look up the appropriate number from the ShareASale data feed file format specification, and enter it in the "Default Value" box. You must supply both the category number and sub-category number.
For example:
Category: DefaultValue = 6, CatalogField = blank Subcategory: DefaultValue = 47, CatalogField = blank
If you have multiple categories of products, add a custom field to your Yahoo Store Catalog Manager and populate it with the category numbers. Enter the name of this custom field in the "Catalog Field" box.
How do I set up my Share-A-Sale merchant account?
Once you have configured your data feed in our system, generate the data feed file from the "Manage > Download Data Feed File" page.
Download the file and upload it manually via your ShareASale account's "Product Database Management" menu option. (You only have to do this the first time.)
Once that is done, you need to email ShareASale the following message:
I have uploaded my first data feed file for your review. I would like to receive instructions on uploading the file via FTP upload. The server from which the file will be uploaded has an IP address of 76.75.210.45.
You will receive an email with an FTP Username and Password. Enter those and set an update frequency in the "Manage > Modify Settings" page of our site. ShareASale now support up to Daily submissions.
Go to "Manage > Advanced Settings" and set the FTP Initial Directory to the directory emailed to you by ShareASale. Note that Image Hosting is enabled, and is highly recommended for ShareASale data feeds.
Run a Submission to test that the settings are working correctly.
