Make Your Website Import-Friendly

Spendabit is able to automatically import — aka, “scrape” — products from most common e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and others. However, we support almost any website that is well structured and/or makes use of common Web conventions for e-commerce.

Below are some tips and suggestions for making your site more “scrape-friendly”.

Include Open Graph Tags

On each of your product pages — and only on your product pages — include a relevant Open Graph tag to indicate the page represents a product:

Include JSON-LD Metadata

An additional way to efficiently communicate product information is by way of “ld+json” (JSON-LD) data. Here's some example code:

<script type="application/ld+json">
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "Product",
    "name": "Super Slick Closed-Back Headphones",
    "brand": "Headphone Harmony",
    "description": "The Super Slick is our all-new, high-value, super-duper headphone. It offers an out-of-this-world sound.",
    "category": "Headphones",
    "url": "https://my-shop.com/products/super-slick-closed-back-headphones",
    "image": "https://my-shop.com/products/super-slick-closed-back-headphones-1024x1024.jpg",
    "offers": {
      "@type": "Offer",
      "availability":"https://schema.org/InStock",
      "price": "199.50",
      "priceCurrency": "USD",
      "url": "https://my-shop.com/products/super-slick-closed-back-headphones"
    }
  }
</script>
