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.). Upgates 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/export/google-shopping.xml 

Where to find the feed?

1. Log in to the Upgates administration.
2. In the left menu, go to Add-ons → Add-ons list.
3. Search for the Tanganica add-on and click Activate.

‍

‍

4. Go to the Accessories / Tanganica section in the online store administration.
5. Here you will find the URL of your feed.

‍

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

Once you have your product feed URL:

1. Copy the URL of your feed.
2. Paste the URL of the feed in the field provided and confirm.
3. 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).
