What are the minimum requirements?
Please see our Requirements page.
How many total products do you have?
We currently have 179,369,424 products from 9,055 merchants.
How many stores can I create?
We have 4 different plans. Depending on the plan, you can create 1 store, 5 stores, 10 stores or an unlimited amount of stores.
What is considered a store?
A store consists of one shop in the Factory and one installation of the Datafeedr plugin. One installation of the plugin can be on a top level domain, a sub-domain or a sub-folder.
Example 1: If you purchase a 1 Site Plan, you are allowed to create one store in the Factory and install the Datafeedr plugin one time.
Example 2: If you purchase a 5 Site Plan, you are allowed to create 5 stores in the Factory and install the Datafeedr plugin one 5 different domains, sub-domains or sub-folders.
Example 3: If you purchase an Unlimited Site Plan, you are allowed to create up to 9,999 stores in the Factory and install the Datafeedr plugin on unlimited domains, sub-domains or sub-folders.
Example 4: If you are a member of the 1-Site Plan, 5-Site Plan or 10-Site Plan, you may not have the plugin installed, activated and/or operating on more than your allowed number of domains, sub-domains, sub-folders or blogs. For example, if you are a 1-Site Plan member and you decide to install the Datafeedr plugin on a different domain than you initially installed it on, you MUST de-activate and remove the Datafeedr plugin from your original blog before installing the plugin on your new blog.
Example 5: Even though WordPress MU is not officially supported by Datafeedr, you may install Datafeedr on your MU blog. Each blog on your MU installation that has a Datafeedr store attached to it accounts against the total stores that you are allowed to create. If you have 5 blogs on your MU account and each blog has a Datafeedr store, this accounts for 5 stores and you would need to have a 5-Site Plan or greater in order to not be compliant with Datafeedr's Terms of Use.
Example 1: If you purchase a 1 Site Plan, you are allowed to create one store in the Factory and install the Datafeedr plugin one time.
Example 2: If you purchase a 5 Site Plan, you are allowed to create 5 stores in the Factory and install the Datafeedr plugin one 5 different domains, sub-domains or sub-folders.
Example 3: If you purchase an Unlimited Site Plan, you are allowed to create up to 9,999 stores in the Factory and install the Datafeedr plugin on unlimited domains, sub-domains or sub-folders.
Example 4: If you are a member of the 1-Site Plan, 5-Site Plan or 10-Site Plan, you may not have the plugin installed, activated and/or operating on more than your allowed number of domains, sub-domains, sub-folders or blogs. For example, if you are a 1-Site Plan member and you decide to install the Datafeedr plugin on a different domain than you initially installed it on, you MUST de-activate and remove the Datafeedr plugin from your original blog before installing the plugin on your new blog.
Example 5: Even though WordPress MU is not officially supported by Datafeedr, you may install Datafeedr on your MU blog. Each blog on your MU installation that has a Datafeedr store attached to it accounts against the total stores that you are allowed to create. If you have 5 blogs on your MU account and each blog has a Datafeedr store, this accounts for 5 stores and you would need to have a 5-Site Plan or greater in order to not be compliant with Datafeedr's Terms of Use.

Merchant Questions
Can I see a list of available networks/merchants in Datafeedr?
Please see our list of networks and merchants.
Can I add data feeds from networks / merchants who are not part of Datafeedr or add my own datafeeds or CSV files?
No. We have created our own datafeed format. This makes it possible to combine different merchants from different networks in one store.
Do I need to apply for each merchant I want to display in my store?
In most cases, you will need to apply to each merchant before you can display their products on your site.
What if a merchant I want to use is not available at Datafeedr?
We take suggestions all of the time and try to add your requested merchant within 3~4 weeks.

Yes, you can upgrade at any time.
Can I downgrade?
Yes, you can downgrade at any time.
Can I sell my Datafeedr store?
Yes, you can sell your Datafeedr store but only once (NO reselling allowed!). The NEW owner MUST join Datafeedr and you MUST let us know who the new owner is so we can transfer your shop file from your account to the new owner's account. This way the new owner gets access to the shop file and is able to edit and update the store to his/her needs.
If I purchase Datafeedr and then cancel my membership, will my sites still function?
Yes. You get to keep everything you have at the moment you cancel your account. The site will still function and your affiliate links will still work. You will be unable to get product updates, plugin updates and access to new features.

Currently, there is no trial version.
