What is Custom Platform + Rakuten Advertising Integration?

Koongo connects your Custom Platform to Rakuten Advertising by generating an XML product feed and refreshing it automatically. Whether your store runs on a proprietary system, a headless setup, or a specialized platform, Koongo structures your product data - IDs, titles (up to 70 characters), descriptions, brands, categories, variant group IDs, URLs, image links, prices, sale prices, availability, and GTIN codes - into a compressed, UTF-8 encoded feed for delivery to Rakuten Advertising via SFTP or HTTP. Rakuten Advertising is a global affiliate and advertising network that runs performance-driven campaigns across affiliate, display, search, and social channels - with detailed analytics tracking placement performance. Koongo also offers predefined feed templates that simplify setup for custom store environments, so you're not building your Rakuten Advertising feed from scratch. Multiple feed versions are supported for different markets, currencies, or campaign configurations. Koongo's Rules Editor gives you full control over your Rakuten Advertising feed. Map categories to Rakuten Advertising's requirements, include optional targeting fields such as condition, gender, age group, and MPN, filter by margin or stock level, or generate separate feed outputs for distinct campaign segments. All rules run automatically after initial configuration.
