I’ll second the vote to enable limits on the number of products returned from each store. Being able to show just one product (the best priced perhaps) from each merchant would get the point across. Still this is amazing software, very well done!

For the generated links that go to the merchant? No – this is not supported at the moment, but note that the generated links look like :

http://example.com/index.php?mykey=123_12345678&clickref=myref

i.e. they are not the ‘real’ deep link to a merchant if that is what you are concerned about revealing.

Thanks for answering those questions. Just one more … can I use a URL shortener?

Multiple currencies per comparison is currently not supported. It’s an interesting idea though and would be relatively simple to implement. I’ll add it to the list.

For store sites you can control the number of products displayed on a category page. For the product price compare listings there is no capping in force at the moment.

I’m not sure what you mean by “fully integrated” with Wordpress – the plugin is a “proper” Wordpress plugin that shows up in your WP admin site and allows you to create price compare listings either via Wordpress custom fields or by using Wordpress shortcodes. However, currently your DS site and the WP site do need to be on the same physical host.

Yes, you can embed your own stats package tracking code (e.g. Google Analytics, Piwik, etc.) in your sites.

I’m not familiar with Hippojump but if it works in the same way as other web tracking software it should be fine.

Is there support for multiple currencies in the price comparison? If not, how difficult or easy would it be to have it?

Can I control how many products display? (The total number e.g. only 5 listings.) And how many products are displayed from each store? (I noticed in your examples that sometimes there are over 5 from one store.)

Is your WordPress option fully integrated into WordPress? Like datafeedr.com or http://www.datafeedfile.co.uk with a separate plugin page.

Cheers.

Is there any stats tracking inside Datafeed Studio? Can I use my own e.g. hippojaw? Can I use their hippojump feature or another URL shortener service?

Cheers.
