Does CJ unlock all datafeeds after paying the 200 fee?

    I plan on paying CJ the $200 fee to active product data feeds. They ask what my top 5 advertisers are, but does that mean they will only allow me to download data feeds from just those 5? Will I have access to ALL product datafeeds from advertisers I have relationships with (assuming they have datafeeds)?

    Yes they do. You pay $200 (one time fee) and you have access to all merchants that have datafeeds.

    Where will you obtain the data feeds at though once you purchase them? Also, I see that you can browse the products available individually... so just how good are the data feeds? I want to purchase it but I need to know how simple will it be to upload it to something like osCommerce via a CSV importer or can you use the CSV importer on any shop software?

    question: "Where will you obtain the data feeds at though once you purchase them"
    answer: You can grab it off of CJ's site via FTP, or have CJ FTP it to your server. This is updated once a week.

    question: "Also, I see that you can browse the products available individually... so just how good are the data feeds?"
    answer: This is dependent on the merchant. I have some feeds with 50,000+ products, while others have 5,000+. I think the data feeds are good.. and they're updated, where if you pick products individually from 'get links' prices could be inaccurate, etc.

    question: "I want to purchase it but I need to know how simple will it be to upload it to something like osCommerce via a CSV importer or can you use the CSV importer on any shop software?"
    answer: You can get XML, CSV, etc. You should contact CJ with more specific questions. As far as your upload to osCommerce.. not sure what to tell you there. There is a definite 'schema' the feeds follow, and not sure if that follows your osCommerce schema, so I'd expect you to write a routine to populate the osCommerce database.

    Thanks hanji, I was sure that it had some kind of schema that it followed. Now, about getting it integrated into osCommerce or whatever I'll have to pay a coder to do that. But for right now I'll stick to the BANS script to generate some more revenue and we'll go from there.

    I plan to make like a type of mall or like a small catalog, not a full 50,000 product catalog lol :D
