Heads up for advertisers running affiliate programs on Ascend by Partnerize (formerly Pepperjam): you can publish your GoDataFeed product feed straight into the platform, so your partners always pull current, accurate product data. This guide walks an advertiser through generating the GoDataFeed feed pull URL and adding it in Ascend by Partnerize. It is written for new and existing GoDataFeed users.

TL;DR: Pepperjam is now Ascend by Partnerize. Generate your feed pull URL in GoDataFeed, log in to Ascend by Partnerize, open your product feed settings, paste the GoDataFeed feed pull URL into the Feed URL field, keep the default feed type and delimiter, and save. Feeds process daily, so check back the next day for results.

Is Pepperjam the same as Ascend by Partnerize?

Yes. Partnerize acquired Pepperjam in July 2020, and the Pepperjam affiliate network has since been rebranded as Ascend by Partnerize. The older pepperjamnetwork.com address is no longer the current advertiser login. If you used to publish feeds to Pepperjam, you now do it through Ascend by Partnerize, and the steps below reflect the current platform.

How do I publish my GoDataFeed feed to Ascend by Partnerize?

1. Log in to your advertiser account at https://console.partnerize.com/. (If your account was migrated from the legacy Pepperjam Ascend interface, confirm your current login URL with your Partnerize account manager.)
2. Open your product feed settings. 
3. Set the update method so the platform pulls your feed on a schedule rather than via API.
4. Paste your GoDataFeed feed pull URL into the Feed URL field. To find that URL in GoDataFeed:
   • Open the feed by clicking the feed name on the Feeds page.
   • Click Feed Settings.
   • Scroll to the Feed Pull section.
   • Generate a new URL if one does not already exist.
   • Copy the feed pull URL from GoDataFeed.
5. Apply the recommended feed settings:
   • Feed Type: the Advanced Format option. 
   • Feed Delimiter: Tab.
   • Download Interval: Every Day.

6. Save your changes. 

    

What happens after I submit the feed?

Product feeds process daily, so check back the next day to view your feed information. You will see the last attempted date, the last processed date, and the total number of products included. Any errors are listed there as well.

Note that a feed with a large number of product errors may fail to process. 

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my GoDataFeed feed pull URL?

Your feed pull URL is in your feed settings inside GoDataFeed. Open the feed from the Feeds page, click Feed Settings, scroll to the Feed Pull section, generate a URL if one does not exist yet, and copy it. You then paste this URL into the Feed URL field in Ascend by Partnerize.

What login URL do I use now that Pepperjam is Partnerize?

Current Partnerize advertiser accounts log in at console.partnerize.com. The old pepperjamnetwork.com address is no longer the standard advertiser login. If your account predates the migration and that URL does not work for you, contact your Partnerize account manager to confirm your correct login.

Which feed settings should I use?

Use the Advanced Format feed type, a Tab delimiter, and a daily download interval. These produce a complete product feed that refreshes every day in line with how GoDataFeed processes feeds.

Why is my feed not processing?

The most common cause is product errors in the feed or a feed pull URL that was not generated or copied correctly. Confirm the URL is active in GoDataFeed, recheck it the day after submitting since feeds process daily, and review any errors listed in your Ascend by Partnerize feed information. If errors persist, contact the GoDataFeed support team.
