To list your store’s products on external marketplaces, you need a product feed: a structured file containing product names, prices, availability and links. Preparing that export manually becomes more difficult with every catalogue change.
YML Feed Export for JoomShopping 5+ generates a YML feed from your store’s catalogue. Choose the products, configure the data to include and get an export for services that accept this format.
From your JoomShopping catalogue to a configured YML feed. Use your store’s product data instead of building the file manually. Separate profiles let you prepare exports for different purposes.
What your store gains
The extension helps you deliver your catalogue to external channels and reduce repetitive work with product data.
Less manual work
Names, descriptions, prices and availability come from JoomShopping — there is no need to rebuild the file from spreadsheets.
The right products in your feed
Filters let you prepare a specific selection instead of sending your entire catalogue.
Settings for each channel
Multiple export profiles help you organise different tasks and retain separate settings for each export.
Product data in the feed
The YML feed is generated from your JoomShopping catalogue data. The export can include product names and descriptions, prices, availability, characteristics and other attributes.
Configure feed elements and parameters to meet the receiving service’s requirements. Mapping additional fields helps connect your store’s data to the required export fields.
Choose what to send to the marketplace
Different sales channels may need different product ranges. Filtering by category, manufacturer, status and availability helps you create a suitable product selection.
For example, you can prepare a separate feed for a particular category or manufacturer without including the rest of your catalogue.
Multiple profiles instead of one shared export
Create separate profiles with their own settings. This is useful when your store needs different product selections or different data export parameters.
Support for multiple languages and currencies lets you set the content language and export currency for each task.
Scheduled updates
For regular feed generation, the extension supports scheduled command-line execution through your server’s cron scheduler. Set up a schedule to repeat the export without starting each update manually.
Update frequency depends on your configured schedule. The receiving marketplace processes the feed according to its own rules, so store changes may not appear there immediately.
Links that lead to your store
The extension supports generating SEF URLs for products and categories. Include them in your feed to direct customers from product offers to the corresponding catalogue pages.
YML or Google Merchant Center?
Choose the format according to the requirements of the service you plan to send products to. YML Feed Export is intended for marketplaces and catalogues that accept YML.
For a separate export with Google attributes, use Google Merchant Center Product Export for JoomShopping 5+.
Before connecting, check your chosen marketplace’s requirements for the format, mandatory fields and offer parameters. Feed configuration does not replace completing your product data or validating the export with the receiving service.
