MERGADO Drive

Get your data feeds from FTP to the online space – easily and without a developer.

What the extension can do

Mergado Drive connects your data feeds from FTP or local computers with the Mergado Editor. It simply converts unavailable data into a public URL, ensuring your feeds are available 24/7 and always up to date.

Do you have suppliers who send you data via FTP? Or do you manage feeds in Excel or LibreOffice on your own computer? With Mergado Drive, you can make sure the Mergado Editor has access to them anytime – just a few clicks, no waiting for a developer.

Key features

• Make feeds accessible from FTP via a public URL – Mergado Drive downloads data from your supplier’s FTP and converts it into a URL that both the Mergado Editor and its extensions can use.
• Your own FTP space – Creates an internal storage where your suppliers can upload feeds. From there, the Mergado Editor converts them into a public URL, just like with supplier FTPs.
• Support for external storage – Can connect to external FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and password-protected URLs.
• Automatic data updates – The Importer function regularly downloads and makes data available, so your feed is always up to date.
• Sync scheduler – In the Importer, you can set exact times and days of the week when data should be downloaded. This is especially useful when feeds are only available at specific times of day.
• Multiple format support – Handles CSV, XML, ZIP, and any other file types.
• Uninterrupted data availability – Keeps your feeds online even if your supplier’s FTP goes down or your laptop is switched off.

Who is the extension for

This extension is especially useful for:

• E-shops working with suppliers who provide data via FTP.
• E-shop owners managing their product data offline on their own computer.
• Anyone who wants continuous data availability in the Mergado Editor without relying on developers.

Drive automatically converts the data into a public URL that the Mergado Editor can process. You can do it yourself – in just a few clicks, without a developer.
