Finding the Feeds 

Once logged in, the default folder is "uploads". The feeds are in the root directory so you need to navigate to the parent directory. 

The feeds are CSV files: one merchant feed per file. 
There is a "__rates.csv" file which will always contain the CPC rate for each feed.   

 Below is a sample of the fields and descriptions of what is available in the feeds.
