If you’d like to switch your current plan, Data Services will be happy to help you do so. There are a few things to keep in mind regarding our file formats.
- Inventory files: Fixed-width format
- Catalog file: CSV format
- Titles Basic and Titles Basic Plus files: Pipe-delimited format
- Our flat file Essential and Premium packages: fixed-width format
- ONIX packages: XML-formatted files
There will, of course, be some development required on your end if you want to switch to another package, but it’s much easier to do so when you are using files that have the same format. For example, it’s easier to go from ONIX Standard to ONIX Premium or from Essential Flat files to Premium Flat files than it would be to switch from Titles Basic to another format. It’s still possible to switch and we're happy to talk to you about it! Just be prepared for some development work.
