AutoFeed is simple (no, seriously, it is). It allows you to automatically create additional pages of products similar to the ones you picked for the first page of your shop. Our research has found that SEO is much better when the first page of products has been HAND PICKED (rather than created as cookie-cutter storefronts) because the auto-created pages are more likely to be perceived as original content rather than duplicate content. For this reason we encourage you to take the time to craft your featured page of products and use the power of AutoFeed to create your additional pages.
In the example below, we took a few moments to create a shop with four products from four different flower merchants: JustFlowers (CJ), ProFlowers (LS), 1-800-FLOWERS (LS), and deLaFlowers (SAS).
To build this shop, we did a simple search with the keywords "red roses" and added the four products to our shop.
Then we clicked the preferences button above the thumbnails and turned AutoFeed on "Narrow".
The best way to have great results with AutoFeed is to have a specific, narrow keyword (or phrase) that you used for your search when you add that first page of products.
You can also use AutoFeed to add random products from a merchant feed. Simply omit your keyword and scroll down to the merchant that you want to use.
For example, if you wanted products from REI and didn't care what they were, you would add a few products from their feed then set AutoFeed on "Broad." This way, AutoFeed would grab products from the entire REI feed.
Please note that PopShops only supports one AutoFeed per page (so you can't have 10 shops on one page in your site, each with its own AutoFeed; there will be some odd interactions between them).
