NOTE: If it has not been at least 12 hours since you configured the channel in DotFeed, you will see an error similar to; Oops! There is an error with your Product Data Feed file. We were unable to verify your feed file. Please recheck your settings and verify that your file has been uploaded.

Shopzilla Categories
