Would it be cheeky to ask merchants to customise their datafeed for me?

I'm fed up with all different merchants, even on the same network, having different categories for everything. A polo shirt should be under "Polo Shirts", not T-Shirts. Cardigans should be under "Cardigans" not "Jumpers".

I really want to make my DMC website as automated as possible, in terms of products.

Grr..

Doubt they would alter the way things are categorised just for one affiliate. With a bit of scripting you can do this yourself and can be a way of getting an edge over your competitors. Granted can be a lot of work with a bit of manual intervention.

If it was easy, everyone would be a millionaire? Either write a script, do some filtering or become a mega affiliate and add £100000 to the merchants bottom line then call the shots.
