ACP Product Feeds: File Upload vs API Delivery
Choose between supported file snapshots and API-based feed updates without confusing transport with product-data quality.
Why it matters
ACP product data can be delivered through supported file upload or API integration paths. The choice changes delivery mechanics, not the need for stable identifiers, accurate product fields and current availability.
How it works
API delivery is useful when a merchant needs incremental product or promotion updates, while file snapshots can be simpler for complete catalog refreshes. Promotions have their own API surface in the current OpenAI commerce specification.
Practical takeaway
Validate payload structure locally, keep secrets out of public tools, and verify current partner-access and production requirements against the official documentation before sending data.
