Amazon isn’t the only catalog ChatAds can resolve against. If you have your own product feed, direct brand inventory, a private affiliate network, or a curated SKU list, ChatAds can use it as the resolution catalog for your team’s traffic.

​
What Is a Custom Catalog?

A custom catalog is any set of products you want ChatAds extractions to resolve to — instead of (or in addition to) Amazon. Common examples:
  • Your own product catalog — e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, or retailers who want to surface their own SKUs
  • Direct brand inventory — brands who want their products returned directly rather than through an affiliate link
  • A private affiliate network — custom link providers, CJ/Impact/Rakuten feeds, or first-party tracking
  • A curated product list — a hand-picked set of products you trust for your users
ChatAds handles the extraction and matching; you supply the catalog and the link format. The result: product mentions in AI output resolve to your inventory, with your tracking, your economics.

​
Catalog Feed Format

Custom catalogs are uploaded as a flat feed — CSV or JSON, one row per SKU.

​
Required Fields

FieldNotes
titleFull product title. Used to match extractions and returned in the API response.
urlDestination URL returned in offer.url. Use whatever tracked link format your network requires.
brand_nameBrand name. Required for accurate matching and shown in the response.

​
Important but Optional

FieldWhy it matters
product_idUnique product identifier. Useful for your own reporting and dedup.
image_urlProduct image URL. Strongly recommended — without it, any UI rendering product cards has nothing to show.
category_nameTop-level category (e.g. “Kitchen”). Lets your team use category targeting rules.
category_pathFull breadcrumb (e.g. “Home > Kitchen > Cookware”). Enables finer-grained category targeting.
priceUSD price. Needed if you want to use minimum-price product quality filters.
starsStar rating (e.g. 4.5). Needed if you want to use minimum-rating filters.
reviewsNumber of reviews. Needed if you want to use minimum-review-count filters.
Leaving an optional field blank simply skips the corresponding filter for that product.
