Now that your Cropink account is ready and your team is assigned, it’s time to create your first project and connect your product data.
Let’s walk through it step by step.
Step 1: Create a New Project
Go to the Teams section in Cropink.
Under your team name, click “+ New Project”.
Give your project a name – ideally something that reflects the goal (e.g. Brand, Store name).
Step 2: Connect Your Product Data (Data Source)
After creating the project, you’ll be asked to connect your Data Source – this is the file that contains your product information (titles, prices, images, etc.).
Here’s what to do:
Click “Connect Data Source”.
Paste the URL of your product feed (for example, the same one you currently use for Facebook Ads).
Hit “Continue”.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Cropink supports XML files in Google RSS or ATOM format only. If your source file is formatted differently, it can be adjusted using our feed management system - Feedink.com where you can import source files in XML as well as CSV and Google Sheets formats.
You can also include multiple images per product. By default, Cropink uses image_link parameter, however you can also use additional_image_link parameter in case your products contain more images and utilize them in your campaigns.
Suggested Apps / Integrations
To generate or manage your feed, you can use tools or plugins depending on your e-commerce platform. These help you create a valid XML feed easily.
