A product feed for ChatGPT (CSV)

What the file holds

The file has the fixed columns of OpenAI’s product schema. The columns filled from the feed, when a product has them, include:

• item_id, title, description, url, brand, image_url and additional_image_urls,
• availability in the values in_stock, out_of_stock, pre_order or backorder,
• price with its currency, and sale_price when lower and in the same currency,
• gtin (when it has 8, 12, 13 or 14 digits), mpn, condition, product_category, color, size, gender, age_group and material,
• group_id, listing_has_variations and variant_dict (color, size) for products whose item_group_id differs from their id and that have a colour or size.

Fields Basketly sets

seller_name is your organisation’s name in Basketly, and seller_url is the address the product link is on. is_eligible_search and is_ads_eligible are set to true. Unknown optional fields stay empty, and store_country and target_countries are not set.

A ChatGPT feed in 4 steps

It takes a few minutes if the products are already in Basketly.

1. 1

   Make a copy or a new feed

   In Basketly open Feeds. On the feed page use “Create a copy”, or add a new feed from the same products.

2. 2

   Set the ChatGPT (OpenAI) CSV format

   In the feed settings (Output: feed format) choose ChatGPT (OpenAI) CSV. In a flow you choose the format in the Output block and save the flow.

3. 3

   Fill in missing fields

   If products drop out because a brand or description is missing, add a rule that sets the field from a template. The preview shows how many products stay in the file.

4. 4

   Give the address to ChatGPT Ads

   Copy the output feed address and give it in ChatGPT Ads Manager as the product file.

What is left out

A product without a brand, description, image, availability, or a price with its currency does not reach the file. You can usually fix that with a rule in the same feed, for example setting the brand from a template. The feed page shows how many products remain.

ChatGPT Ads purchases in Basketly

The product file is one thing, and measurement is another. The ChatGPT Ads connection in Integrations sends shop purchases to OpenAI from the server, and can optionally read campaign results. It is a separate integration with its own limits, so a file being accepted proves nothing about how well ads work.
