What is the Rakuten Advertising integration?
Rakuten Advertising is a comparison shopping and affiliate channel that lists products from many retailers side by side. It expects a well-structured feed with accurate pricing and availability so shoppers can compare offers and click through to buy.
With Product Feed Master, Rakuten Advertising becomes a connector you can attach to any feed. You control exactly which products and attributes flow through it, so the data that reaches Rakuten Advertising is clean, complete, and formatted correctly.
How Product Feed Master connects to Rakuten Advertising
The Rakuten Advertising connector is powered by our XML connector under the hood, so it inherits the same battle-tested authentication, retry, and scheduling behavior used across the platform.
Rakuten Advertising is configured as an output destination: Product Feed Master takes your mapped, transformed catalog and delivers it to Rakuten Advertising on every sync.
Why manage your Rakuten Advertising feed with Product Feed Master?
Maintaining a Rakuten Advertising feed by hand is slow and error-prone. Prices drift out of date, out-of-stock items keep showing, and every channel wants attributes named differently. Product Feed Master solves this by keeping one master catalog and projecting a tailored feed to Rakuten Advertising.
You map source fields to the attributes each destination expects, layer on rules to rename, combine, default, or filter values, and schedule automatic re-syncs so the data is never stale.
What you can do with the Rakuten Advertising connector
- Export a mapped, channel-ready catalog to Rakuten Advertising.
- Map your source fields to the attributes Rakuten Advertising expects.
- Transform values with rules: rename, combine, default, format, and filter.
- Exclude out-of-stock or non-compliant products before they reach the channel.
- Schedule automatic re-syncs so your Rakuten Advertising feed never goes stale.
