Before the launch, make sure your Fruugo seller account is open and your FTP Content account is created.

Once your Fruugo seller shop has been created:

Communicate the URL of your optimized catalog (Launching Step of configuration) to your Fruugo Integration Specialist. They will verify the content, advise of amendments, and set up an automatic recovery of your feed from Lengow (hourly once launched).

5. Stop advertising / Delete a product

If your product is no longer in stock but must continue to be displayed then complete these attributes:

  • StockStatus with the value OUTOFSTOCK
  • StockQuantity with the value 0

If your product is permanently unavailable and needs to be removed from the Fruugo marketplace then proceed to a product exclusion from Lengow.
