How to get a product XML feed?

‍

In order to advertise your products, we need to get your product XML feed in Google Shopping format. Below you will find a simple procedure to upload a feed to our application.

‍

1. Get the product XML feed URL

Product XML feed is a file that contains information about your products (name, price, stock availability, images, etc.). Shoptet automatically generates a product XML feed in the format for Google Shopping directly in the administration. This feed is available at a specific URL, for example: https://www.myshop.com/google/export/products.xml

‍

Where to find the feed?

Log in to the Shoptet administration.
In the left menu, go to Connections → XML feeds.
Search for Google Shopping and copy the feed URL.

‍

❗ NOTICE

It is possible that your XML feed will be secure and its URL will require special hash.

👉 How do you know if a feed is secure?

In the Shoptet administration, go to the section Connections → XML feeds.
Open the Security sub-tab.
If the feed is protected, you will see yours hash – unique code to access the feed.
Make sure the first box in the security settings is unchecked. If checked, the feed will not be accessible even with a hash code.

👉 How to use a hash in a URL feed?
If the feed is secure, it must be added hash at the end of the feed URL in the format:

?hash=YOUR-HASH

For example:

‍

https://www.myshop.com/google/export/products.xml?hash=123456abcdef

Then paste this modified URL into the Tanganica application.

If you are having trouble getting the feed or hash code, we recommend contacting Shoptet support. 🚀

2. Uploading the URL of the product XML feed to the application

Once you have your product feed URL:

Copy the URL of your feed.
Paste the URL of the feed in the field provided and confirm.
Done! If the product feed is fine and in the correct format, the products will start uploading to the app.

3. What to do if the application gives me an error?

The feed is not in the correct format – the file must be in XML format, not for example CSV or JSON.
The information inside the feed is not correct Google specifications – some fields may be missing or have an incorrect structure (e.g. incorrectly entered prices or categories).
Make sure the feed URL is correct and working (try opening it in a browser).
Make sure the first box on the Security tab is not checked.

If you still don't know what to do, contact our support - we'll be happy to help! 🚀
