                                                 2.
Further Benefits
                                Why use Idealo.co.uk?

A unique voucher code system which integrates codes into the actual offer on our site -
e.g.




Shops using the Magento, PrestaShop or Zen Cart shop systems (that work with us directly),
will have access to our free export modules, allowing our customers to create their own data
feeds.

Direct shops gain access to our Idealo Partner Login system giving you the ability to
track the number of daily clicks, and individual clicks along with their referring
IP Addresses.
                                                                                               5

                                               3.
Product Data Feeds

Due to the continuously changing nature of our site, we rely heavily on perfect data feeds
which are up-to-date, accurate and include all the necessary information. A high quality
Product feed is not only necessary for integration into the Idealo shopping platform, but
also optimises performance after integration.

File types we use include CSV and XML - we consider these to be the best formats for data
 feeds, however we will also accept TXT files:-

- CSV (Comma-Separated Values) feeds: data records should be separated by
punctuation marks (e.g. comma, tab, semicolon or |). To prevent confusion, the punctuation
used to separate the data record should never appear within the columns, but should only
act as a separator. Files in CSV format can be easily generated by Excel and many
database programmes or e-commerce systems.

 - XML data feed - We also accept these as an alternative. All the product information must be
conveyed in the feed. All the information for one offer must be contained within one line for a
CSV file and in one element for a XML file.

Please find more details about our product feeds and requirements here.



                                                                                                  6

                                             4.
Idealo App
As featured in the Guardian last year (see Page 6), Idealo also offers a fantastic mobile app. This
enables consumers to compare the latest products and prices at any time of the day or night,
regardless of their whereabouts.




The IdealoApp for iPhone, iPad or Android smartphones offers price information for more than
3 million products, and hundreds of online shops. Users can simply search for the product required
by using the product name or number search box, or use the barcode scanner for an even faster
match.
