About Shopbot

Shopbot is one of the largest price comparison engines in Canada.

How to Create a Shopbot Feed?

First you’ll need to sign up for a Shopbot Account.

“Your chosen Shopbot plan limits how many products you can display on our website. If your feed contains more than the maximum number of products allowed, you will have to upgrade plans or else not all products will be displayed. Do you have more than 200,000 products? No worries, contact your Shopbot representative and we’ll customize a plan that fits your business.”
