Creating a Unified Product Feed for Social Commerce and Marketplace Channels
How to Streamline Listings Across TikTok, Meta, Pinterest, Amazon, eBay, and More
Managing product data across multiple platforms — from Facebook Shops and TikTok Shop to Amazon, Walmart, and Pinterest — can be a nightmare without a unified feed strategy.
Inconsistent titles, mismatched images, missing attributes, and outdated inventory can lead to lost sales, account flags, or even platform suspensions.
This guide explains how to build and manage a unified product feed that adapts to each sales channel, improves listing quality, and saves hours of manual work — while boosting performance and compliance.
What Is a Unified Product Feed?
A unified product feed is a centralized dataset that contains your core product information (title, description, price, images, inventory, etc.), which can be mapped and customized for each platform’s requirements.
Rather than maintaining separate spreadsheets or listings for each channel, a unified feed ensures:
- One source of truth for your catalog
- Platform-specific formatting and optimization
- Real-time syncing of inventory and pricing
- Easier updates when products or policies change
Why It Matters for Multichannel Sellers
Without a unified feed:
- You risk overselling inventory on one platform while it’s out of stock on another
- Listings often fail because of missing required fields or invalid values
- Titles and descriptions aren’t optimized for platform-specific search
- Managing promotions, bundles, and new launches becomes manual chaos
With a unified feed:
✅ You control how products appear on each platform
✅ You scale faster without creating duplicate data
✅ You reduce errors, mismatches, and account suspensions
✅ You track listing performance centrally
Feed Requirements by Platform
| Platform | Key Feed Attributes | Common Format Issues |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok Shop | Title, short video, SKU, brand, price, logistics | Missing video or keyword-stuffed titles |
| Facebook & Instagram Shops | Title, description, GTIN, MPN, link, condition | Incomplete fields or duplicate GTINs |
| Title, description, product category, availability, link | Non-optimized product types, image sizing | |
| Amazon | Parent-child relationships, variation themes, bullet points | Incorrect flat file mappings, brand mismatches |
| eBay | Item specifics, compatibility, multi-variation support | Title length, unsupported categories |
| Google Merchant / Shopping | GTIN, price, link, availability, condition | Failing to match product schema |
🔍 Each platform requires its own naming conventions, attribute structure, and content tone — which is why automation matters.
How to Build a Unified Product Feed Step-by-Step
Step 1: Centralize Core Product Data
Start with a clean source — whether that’s your ERP, Shopify, WooCommerce, or inventory spreadsheet.
Include:
- SKU
- Product Title
- Description
- Category
- Images
- Price
- Inventory
- Shipping weight/dimensions
- Barcode (UPC/EAN/GTIN)
- Brand and MPN
Step 2: Map Fields by Channel
Create mappings between your master feed and each channel’s required attributes. For example:
| Master Field | TikTok Field | Amazon Field | Facebook Field |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Title | product_name | Item Name | title |
| Price | price | Standard Price | price |
| SKU | seller_sku | SKU | retailer_id |
| Images | product_image | main_image_url | image_link |
Use a tool like EcomBiz.AI or Feedonomics to automate these mappings.
Step 3: Customize Titles and Descriptions
Each platform favors different listing styles. Use AI to rewrite content per channel:
- Amazon prefers structured bullet points and feature-benefit breakdowns
- TikTok favors short, emotional copy and keywords
- Pinterest benefits from seasonal, aspirational tone
- Facebook/Instagram want mobile-optimized, clear value props
💡 Tools like EcomBiz.AI can generate custom titles/descriptions for each channel from a single input.
Step 4: Normalize and Enrich Your Data
Ensure fields like:
- Categories match the platform’s taxonomy
- Product types are platform-compliant (e.g., Amazon’s browse nodes)
- Titles stay within character limits
- Images meet aspect ratios and resolution guidelines
- GTINs are valid and not reused
Step 5: Set Up Dynamic Inventory and Price Sync
Link your unified feed to your real-time inventory source to prevent overselling and price mismatches.
Automate:
- Inventory updates
- Price changes
- Out-of-stock flagging
- Promotional pricing windows
