Product Feed
Provide general information about your products. We require (but not limit to) only a small set of data. Here is described its structure and format.
You can either
- compile product data into a single CSV file and give it to us
- publish a regularly updated file under a specific secret link and give is the link.
In the latter case Sizolution robot will regularly download the product data and synchronize our databases. This method allows us to make frequent automatic updates (up to several times a day). For security reasons do not to publish the link to your feed. Make it as hard as possible to find or guess.
We prefer - but do not require - JSON format. Other options are XML and CSV. If you have a small online shop with less than 1000 articles, CSV probably is your best choice.
If you already have a product feed for another purpose that contains the following information, we can probably work with it as well - our developers have to look at it first.
Links
Examples: feed.json, feed.xml, feed.csv.
List of countries
List of clothing materials
Product feed can be represented as a list of objects (rows), one for each product_id. Required fields (columns) are marked with *, the rest are optional, but very helpful for getting the best performance of Sizolution.
Product Identity
We identify a garment using two fields - product_id and size. Both are required to uniquely identify a particular piece of clothing that the user receives. In the product feed we ask only for meta information and not sizing, so here you provide only product_id. Sizing is provided in a separate feed.
product_id* Unique product identifier in your shop, independent of size. E.g. let it be "TH1234-42".
group_id Multiple variants or colors of the same product can be grouped together and have the same group_id but different variant, e.g. a "T-shirt with a unicorn" can be sold in "red", "green" and "black/white dotted" variants. Products can also be available in a single variant. In case you group products by color/variant, we'd like to have an identifier of the group.

Clothing Standard Sizing Scheme (CS3)
Examples: measurements.json, measurements.xml, measurements.csv.
Measurements feed can be represented as a list of objects (rows), one for each size for each product_id. Required fields (columns) are marked with *.
Product
Product identifier, as stated in Product Feed.
product_id* E.g. "TH1234-42".
Sizing
size_id Size identifier in your store, e.g. "M-176-1".
size* Original size provided by the brand, e.g. "96A-176".
If you incorporate some or multiple local sizing systems or you know how brand size is converted to other sizing systems, please provide this information as well, in form of additional fields (columns):
int_size: M
eu_size: 48
Measurements
product_weight Net weight of the clothing.
If you don't use Sizolution Automatic Clothing Scanner:
cs3* Clothing measurements in CS3 format.
is_from_blueprint*: 0/1. Is cs3 taken from a blueprint of the garment (1), or measured by hand (0).
If you do use Sizolution Automatic Clothing Scanner, instead you should provide the following:
available*: 0/1 Whether this size is available in the storage. This parameter is needed to anticipate which sizes are going to be scanned.
barcodes* List of your inner barcodes, associated with this combination of size_id and product_id.
Of course you can combine these cases and have both sets of columns (fields) in your measurements feed.
Sales and Returns
For better fit predictions and size recommendations based on personal preferences of customers we also use sales and returns history, including history for items that were not measured.

Examples: sales.csv.
