Lots of folks run online stores, but very few of these ‘indy’ sites are in ShopSavvy.  More and more of you have sent in support requests like “I am on CubeCart and I want to get my products into ShopSavvy. Frankly I don’t get Google Base.  What can I do?”

We are trying to convince several shopping cart providers (i.e. the folks that make the software that makes your store go) to add a simple option that will allow user to: a) generate a simple XML feed that is ShopSavvy friendly and b) PING our servers letting us know to start consuming your feed.

It is getting harder and harder for our team to keep up with the requests from retailers to add their XML feeds so that we can include their products in our results.  If we can get a few of the major shopping cart guys to help their users generate a feed and also let us know about it everybody wins.  Store owners get their prices into ShopSavvy, Consumers get more options and we can focus on making the application better.  If you are a shopping cart provider please send me an email amuse (at) biggu.com and I will send you the details.  Thanks to @roy_girassol on Twitter for the idea.
