The name of the offer, which must faithfully describe its nature. It must contain all the necessary information to make the offer name distinguishable from other offers in the XML feed. It can contain information that is specific to the store, e.g. “+ free gift”. It is essentially an extended PRODUCTNAME tag including attributes. This name will be used if the offer is not paired and will be displayed in the offers.

Include the actual manufacturer of the product in the name, not the brand that your products are compatible with. You can include information about compatibility with certain brands in the ‘description’ attribute.

This field must not include:

•  advertising slogans and superlatives (e.g. ‘cheapest deal’)
•  excessively repetitive keywords or phrases (twice or more in a row)
•  excessive punctuation, emoticons, three periods (…) and exclamation marks
•  information that is not directly related to the offer

The maximum display length is 64 characters, with spaces after periods and commas, as is common in Czech texts. Only one exclamation mark is allowed in the item name. The exclamation mark must not be preceded by a space.

On Zboží.cz we have a defined list of carriers and pick-up locations that we support. The carrier can also be the online store itself (we support only carriers that cover the whole territory of the Czech Republic). The online retailer can also present their own network of pick-up locations.

Supported values for pick-up locations

Supported values for carrier services

DELIVERY_ID identifier of the carrier or network of pick-up locations from the list of those supported
DELIVERY_PRICE price including VAT for shipping or collecting the item when paying in advance
DELIVERY_PRICE_COD price incl. VAT for shipping or collecting the item when paying cash on delivery

You can only specify your own shipping if you can deliver the item to any location in the Czech Republic.

If cash on delivery is not possible for the offer, carrier or a pick-up point, the DELIVERY_PRICE_COD tag should not be included with the offer. Similarly, if the offer cannot be delivered to the pick-up point or by a specific carrier, the tag should not be included for that offer (e.g. oversized items).

<DELIVERY_PRICE>100</DELIVERY_PRICE>
<DELIVERY_PRICE_COD>149</DELIVERY_PRICE_COD>

With this tag, you will always be able to uniquely identify an offer and track its history and performance on Zboží.cz, even if its URL or name changes. Therefore, it is crucial that it remains the same even if the offer name, XML feed and its URL or e-commerce solution changes.
