Marketplace Transformation

Effortlessly Flatten Complex XML Feeds into Clean CSV Files

Many distributors provide catalogs via complex XML feeds with nested variant hierarchies. However, marketplaces like Bol.com and Amazon frequently require clean CSV templates with specific header formatting and unnested rows.

Using Channable, this conversion is completely automated. Channable parses the XML, flattens child nodes, maps attributes into required column headers, and outputs a hosted CSV or transfers it via automated SFTP.

Eliminate manual Excel manipulation, broken delimiters, and formatting errors. Real-time, hands-off automation powered by Channable.

Advantages

Why Convert XML to CSV with Channable?

1. Exact Columns for Marketplaces

Marketplaces require strict column naming conventions. Channable maps XML tags directly into compliant CSV template headers.

2. Flatten Nested Variant Trees

Nested child items (sizes, colors, barcodes) are automatically unnested into individual rows with proper parent-child keys.

3. Custom Delimiters & UTF-8

Choose comma, semicolon, or tab delimiters with text qualifiers and clean UTF-8 encoding to prevent data corruption.

4. Automated SFTP or FTP Delivery

Channable can upload the generated CSV file directly to your partner's SFTP/FTP server on an automated recurring schedule.

5. Dynamic Markups & Exclusion Rules

Calculate profit margins dynamically and filter out zero-stock or low-margin items before generating the final CSV output.

6. Setup by Gold Partner Edwin

Edwin de Jong configures the entire workflow and validates the initial export to guarantee 100% marketplace acceptance.
