Guideline shop integration

The basis for a conversion-strong and successful listing of your offers is a high-quality data delivery. For example, if your landing page doesn‘t match the data in the feed, users are much more likely to leave your site without buying anything.

This document is intended to assist you in selecting the relevant columns for your assortment(s) to provide the best data quality. This enables solute GmbH to optimally present your offers on billiger.de and other distribution channels and to show the users the offers that most closely match the search query.

Submit all of the REQUIRED attributes listed in our feed specification that apply to your items. Don‘t let the sheer number of possible columns unsettle you. There are some columns that are REQUIRED for all assortments, others only for certain assortments. For some assortments, certain information is required by law.

However, it makes sense in any case to provide as detailed information as possible. We also advise you to specify as many RECOMMENDED attributes as possible. To give you an overview and help you select the columns required for your assortment, there is a glossary in table form at the beginning of this document in which all columns are provided with assortment-specific notes on necessity. You can go from any column to the detailed description.

In addition, please make sure that you only submit offers whose data comply with our guidelines. The order of the columns and the column captions do not need to correspond to the proposal below, but the captions must be unique. If you adhere to our guidelines, this facilitates automatic integration and prevents unnecessary interruptions to listing during structural adjustments in your feed.

These basic conditions must be met:

  • The complete offer data must be available in one feed, please combine several files.
  • The feed must be in CSV, JSON or XML format and can be compressed in all common formats.
  • The different information must not be contradictory.

Ideally, a CSV feed should look like this:

  • The feed must always have a header that describes the fields it contains.
  • Each variant of an article must be submitted as a separate offer in the feed.
  • All rows should have the same number of columns (if a field is not to be filled, it remains empty, that is, there are two column separators next to each other).
  • Column separator: , Comma. Example: name,brand,price,desc,...
  • If a separator (see example below: „ ) occurs in one of the fields, it must be escaped with double
  • quotation marks, or the whole field must be enclosed by double quotation marks.
    Example: Column name: „Flatscreen 25“ Screen diagonal“ becomes „Flatscreen 25“ Screen diagonal
  • The last column does not end with a column separator.
  • List separator: ; (semicolon) Example: Properties column: vegan; gluten-free; sugar-free
  • Encoding UTF-8
  • Further information can be foundhere.


Notes on assortment-specific columns:

  • For some assortments, additional information in extra columns is helpful or even required by law. Specifying this information additionally optimizes the assignment and the filter functions.
  • We would like to point out to you the legal necessity to indicate shipping costs, delivery times and base prices (for articles for which the indication of the base price is required by applicable law) and urge you to deposit these in your offer data file.
  • Additional requirements apply to tyres, rims, vehicle wear parts, contact lenses, pharmacy products / pharmaceutical articles and electronical devices. Please note that certain information such as dioptres, energy efficiency classes, EU labels, consumption values, PZN etc. must be shown in separate columns for each article in order to enable optimum integration.


These contents must be clearly marked in the „condition“ column:


These contents may not be contained in feed:

  • illegal content
  • BDSM content


Information on the protection of minors

FSK18 or USK18 goods must be specified explicitly in the age_rating field.


Notes on international listing

All information in the feed must be in the local language or a supported language for the desired sales country. The feed may only contain one language. Please note that using a supported language instead of the local language may result in you limiting your potential customers in that country, as not every customer is multilingual.


Notes on price transmission

All data and prices in the feed must be end customer prices (including the legal VAT, except for small entrepreneurs) and in the currency of the desired country of sale.
