Getting started with data feeds management
How to generate XML files with Data Feed Manager
All XML data feeds used by shopping engines, like the one used by Google Shopping, are really simple to build but often have their own specifications.
Simple Google Shopping and Data Feed Manager provide one or more ready-to-configure templates. These templates will allow you to build a valid and well-structured data feed quickly.
7 Things to know when creating an XML data feed with Data Feed Manager:
1. An XML data feed is using an opening and closing tag that includes a value.
<tag>value</tag>
2. For each product you are exporting, you need to choose which tag to use. Most of the time, there is a tag for each attribute.
<g:id>123456</g:id> <price>45.99 USD</price>
3. When you are building your XML template, you can include between every opening and closing tag one or several Magento attributes. An attribute is specified by its code name and must be enclosed using brackets.
<g:id>{sku}</g:id>
<price>{price}</price>
4. Between every opening and closing tags, you can also include some fixed values. Fixed values are simply text.
<g:brand>YOUR BRAND</g:brand>
5. You have also the possibility to add several attributes and fixed values in a same tag.
<title>{name},available in {color}-{size} for only ${price}</title>
6. You're allowed to use PHP code if you want to customize the pattern. You just have to write your PHP code in one single line, and it will work perfectly (check how to add PHP scripts into your templates).
7. The syntactic coloration in Data Feed Manager will help you to avoid any error in your template. First, the errors will be underlined in yellow. You need to correct each error before checking syntax once again. Finally, you'll be able to check data.
How to generate CSV/TXT files with Data Feed Manager?
Data Feed Manager allows you to generate CSV/TXT files in addition to XML files. This particular kind of file format is required by some shopping engines like Amazon, Shopzilla, Twenga, etc.
Data Feed Manager provides you all you need to create any specific CSV/TXT file that you want.
Each shopping engine has its own requirements and column names. Some require fields enclosure, others need specific delimiters.
You may also need to add a special header to your file (for Amazon data feeds for example).
Things to know when creating a CSV/TXT data feed with Data Feed Manager
1. A CSV file consists of any number of records. Each record consists of fields, separated by some other characters or strings. There is one row per record (so, one per product).
Here is an example of CSV file content:
2. You need to define delimiters to separate your fields ( '; ', ', ', or tab for example) and enclosures for your data (" or ').
3. You can enter the attribute names in each Columns name fields (check the shopping engine specifications to know which names are required). For example:
4. You can include in each Pattern field one or several Magento attributes. An attribute is specified by its code name and must be enclosed using brackets. For example, to return the product's sku, you should use:
{sku}
5. You can also include some fixed values. Fixed values are simply text. For example, instead of the {manufacturer} attribute, you could use directly:
YOUR BRAND
6. You have also the possibility to add several attributes and fixed values in a same field. For example, instead of {url}, you could use:
{url}?_campaign=google&_adwords=test123
7. You're allowed to use PHP code if you want to customize the pattern. You just have to write your PHP code in one single line, and it will work perfectly (check how to add PHP scripts into your templates).
8. You can add a field by using the button Add field. The fields order can be easily reordered by using the up and down arrows.
9. The syntactic coloration in Data Feed Manager will help you to avoid any error in your template. First, the errors will be underlined in yellow. You need to correct each error before checking syntax once again. Finally, you'll be able to Check data.
Attribute management in the Data Feed Manager templates
All the default Magento attributes and also all your own attributes can be retrieved in any template. For example :
<product>{name}</product>
Please refer to the Basic attributes section to learn more.
Some Magento attributes like price, image or url may have further configuration options that will correspond to your specific data feed needs. For example:
<price>{price,[EUR],[FR]}</price>
Please refer to the Special attributes section to learn more.
Some Magic attributes are unique to the Google Shopping data feeds. These attributes act as shortcuts to create complete portions of XML in your data feed. For example:
{G:PRODUCT_TYPE}
Please refer to the Magic attributes section to learn more.
You can use the OR operand with all these attributes (without option). See example below:
{attributeA | attributeB}
If attributeA exists then the value will be attributeA, otherwise, the value will be attributeB
How to use Data Feed Manager?
STEP 1: Configure Data Feed Manager in a general way
Before being able to configure your data feeds, you should configure the extension in a general way. To do so, go to System > Config > Wyomind > Data Feed Manager.
In the Cron job reporting tab, you can activate the cron job reporting and fill in an email address to receive the reports. You can also rename the reports as you want.
In the Core Settings tab, you'll need to configure a certain number of fields.
- Items in preview: By default there are 10 items in preview, if you want you can reduce or increase that number.
- Items in buffer: By default, products are inserted into the file on the server every 10 items but you can reduce or increase that number.
- Items in each MySql query: By default, there are 1500 items in each MySql query.
- Number of advanced filters: By default, you have 10 advanced filters. If you need more, you can at any time increase that value.
- Include disabled products: you have the possibility to include or not disabled products in your data feed.
- Use of OR/AND statements in advanced filters: and/or statements can be used in the advanced filters simply by enabling that option.
- Use canonical urls: you have the choice between several options. You can choose to use the shortest category url, the longest one or the product url.
- Include not in menu categories: you can also include the categories of products that are not in the menu.
- Use configurable product categories instead of the child product categories: Use the categories of the configurable products instead of the child ones.
- Php memory limit: The default memory limit is 1024.
- Allow trans-domain import/export: Allow import and export options.
- Enable log file: Enable or disable log file.
STEP 2: Configure your data feeds
To create and configure your data feeds, you can go to Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Data Feeds.
Data Feed Manager also allows you to export and import templates into/from your Magento admin.
Export new template
To export a template, select an existing feed from Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Data Feeds.
From the dropdown under the Action column, you can choose to Export that data feed template. You can also choose to Edit the data feed and then click on Export.
Via both ways, a popup window opens and allows you to save the data feed template as a .dfm file. After that, you should find the data feed template in your 'Downloads' folder.
Import new template
Before anything, to import a data feed template, it must be a .dfm file.
To do so, go to Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Data Feeds and click on Import a template. Browse the .dfm file and click on Import now.
Now if you go back to Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Data Feeds you should see that the last feed of the list is the one you've just imported.
Create a template
To create your own data feed, you need to go to Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Data Feeds. There, click on Create new template. You now have to configure your data feed as you want.
When creating a data feed, you should see a blackbox on the right of your screen. The Data Feed Manager extension includes that tool to help you create your feed and see what is wrong.
The blackbox is inevitably a very useful tool. This will help you to configure your data feed more quickly.
Here are the different options of the blackbox:
Check syntax: This button allows you to check if your syntax is correct. It helps you to see if you have forgotten a bracket or a coma by underligning in yellow the part of text that contains a mistake.
Load Library: If you click on that button, a library of your store attributes will be displayed. This makes it easier to find very quickly which attribute you need to add into your template.
Check data: When clicking on Check Data, you'll see a preview of your data feed. It's very useful to see if the values of your attributes are correctly retrieved or if your filters are working.
Configuration
In that first tab is the main configuration of the data feed. You'll find several fields to fill in.
- Feed name: enter the name of your feed. For example GoogleShopping.
- File type: choose the format of your file between xml, csv, txt and tsv.
- File name format: you have several format possibilities for your file name. For example you could choose: GoogleShopping-2015-01-26.xml.
- Encoding type: choose the encoding type of the data feed.
- Path: define the path where you want the data feed to be generated. For example /feeds/.
- File status: enable or disable the file.
- Store View: define which store view is concerned.
The following fields vary according to the file type you're configuring:
XML FILES
- Enclose xml tag content inside CDATA (recommended): enclose xml tags inside CDATA or not.
- Remove all empty xml tags (recommended): remove empty xml tags or not.
- Header pattern: Add your header pattern in that field.
- Product pattern: This field is inevitable to configure your product pattern.
- Footer pattern: Add your footer pattern in that field.
CSV, TXT, TSV FILES
- Extra header: It will add whatever you write on the top of your file (fit in with Amazon requirements).
- Include header: allows you to include or not columns names in the first row of your file.
- Columns name: is for the attribute name (you need to look in the shopping engine specifications to know which names are required).
- Pattern: works in the same way than XML files. For example, {url} will return the product's url. You can also add any static values.
- Add field button: click on it to add a new column to your template. The fields order can be easily reordered by using the up and down arrows.
- Extra footer: you can add an extra footer in that field.
- Fields delimiter: lets you choose which kind of delimiter you want to use to separate your fields.
- Fields enclosure: lets you choose which kind of enclosure you want for your data.
- Escape character: define the escape character between \ or ''.
Categories
In the Categories tab, you will find 2 subtabs that will allow you to manage your categories.
Filter the categories
You can filter your categories according to two different ways:
- Exclude all products from the selected categories.
- Include all products from the selected categories.
For example, if you wish to include only products of the Apparel category, you can configure your filter in two different ways.
First of all by ticking the Include option that will allow you to include all categories that you have selected.
Or via the Exclude option that will exclude all categories you have selected.
Category selection and mapping
In that subtab, you can map your categories to Google ones. This step is very important so that Google can make a link between their product categories and yours.
With Data Feed Manager, you have the possibility to change the file on which the category mapping is based. You can have a look to our faq on how to add a new taxonomy file.
Filters
Data Feed Manager also allows you to filter your products on several levels according to their attribute sets or their visibility for example.
With Data Feed Manager 7.3.0 and Simple Google Shopping 9.0.0, you can now select all the filters in one click.Product Type
First of all, you can choose to include products to your feed according to their type. For example, only include simple, virtual and downloadable products.
Attribute Set
You have the choice to include several attribute sets. In our case, we've decided to include only attribute sets that are linked to the Apparel category.
Product Visibility
Then, choose the products that will be included to the feed between the products that are not visible individually, products from the Catalog, the Search results, or both.
Advanced Filters
In the Advanced filters, you can go further by setting more personalized filters.
For example, we wanted to include only products which price is higher than 0, and which SKU and name are not null.
Here again, you have the possibility to configure your advanced filters according to several options.
LIKE / NOT LIKE
like: starts / ends with the character string / includes the character string. Eg:
- name like %shirt: will include all products which name ends with 'shirt'.
- name like Apple%: will include all products which name starts with 'Apple'.
- name like %women%: will include all products which name contains the 'women' character string.
not like: doesn't start / end with the character string / doesn't include the character string. Eg:
- name not like %shirt: won't include any product which name ends with 'shirt'.
- name not like Apple%: won't include any product which name starts with 'Apple'.
- name not like %women%: won't include any product which name contains the 'women' character string.
IS NULL / IS NOT NULL
is null: the value is null. Eg:
- Special price is null: will include all products that don't have special prices.
is not null: the value is not null. Eg:
- SKU is not null: will include all products which SKU is not null.
IN / NOT IN
in: is in (selection of several options). Eg:
- Brand in Acer Apple Sony: will include only products from these 3 brands.
not in: is not in (selection of several options). Eg:
- Brand not in Dell Toshiba: will include all products which brand is not Dell or Toshiba.
Scheduled Tasks
Data Feed Manager provides you a fully configurable schedule in the Scheduled task tab of your template configuration for each data feed. You just have to tick the days and hours when you want your feed to be generated.
FTP Settings
In Data Feed Manager, you can specify ftp settings to upload your data feeds.
Select a data feed and go to the Ftp Settings tab. There you'll be able to configure some parameters:
Enable FTP upload
Select Yes if you want to upload your data feed using FTP.
Use SFTP
Select Yes if you are using SFTP.
Secure connection (sftp) is only available in the latest version of Data Feed Manager.Use Active mode
If you are using SFTP, you don't have to care about the passive/active mode.
For more info about Active and Passive mode, have a look to that documentation.
Host
In that field, fill in the host.
For example: ftp.wyomind.com
Login
is your login to connect to server
Password
is your password to connect to server
Destination directory
is a relative path from the entry directory when you connect to the ftp.
For example: "upload/" or "/".
In order to be sure your settings are correct, click on Test Connection.
- If you don't have an error message, it means the connection succeeded.
- If you have an error message, you'll certainly have to check your credentials.

Converts a numeric value to a floating number.
- decimals: number of floating number. By default [0].
<g:shipping_weight>{weight,[float],[2]}kg</g:shipping_weight>
{attribute_code,[php_function]}
You can use any php function as an option that doesn't require an argument, for instance:
{name,[ucfisrt]}
{description,[trim]}
From Data Feed Manager v6.6.0
You can use any php function as an option even if it requires one or more additional arguments, for instance:
{name,[str_replace("Apple","Banana",%s)]}
You can use several consecutive options:
{ean,[str_pad(%s,10,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT)],[str_replace("X","0",%s)]} Special attributes
{id}
Retrieves the product id
{inc}
{price}
Retrieves the normal price or the special price if it exists.
If prices are exclusive of VAT and the product is liable to a unique VAT rate, the price retrieved will include this rate. Otherwise, the price exclusive of tax is retrieved.
For example:
<g:price>{price}</g:price>
You also have the possibility to use some parameters with this attribute:
- currency is for currency conversion. This option automatically converts the original product price to a specified currency. It uses an exchange rate already stored by you in your admin panel. By default, your local currency is used.
- vat_rate is a floating value between 0.00 and 100.00 that represents an arbitrary VAT rate to apply. This option rewrites the VAT rule for the product except if the product doesn't have any tax class.
<g:price>{price,[currency],[vat_rate]}</g:price>
Here are some examples:
To convert the prices to EUR and apply a 20% VAT rate:
<g:price>{price,[EUR],[20.0]}</g:price>
To convert the prices to USD and not apply any VAT rate:
<g:price>{price,[USD],[0]}</g:price>
If the prices of your catalog are already including VAT:
<g:price>{price,[EUR]}</g:price>
To use an ISO2 code corresponding to one of the countries for which you specified a VAT rate in your tax settings (from Simple Google Shopping >= 5.1.0, and Data Feed Manager >= 3.0.0):
<g:price>{price,[EUR],[FR]}</g:price>
This code may also be completed by an area code:
<g:price>{price,[USD],[US/NY]}</g:price>
To deduce the VAT corresponding to a country/area:
<g:price>{price,[USD],[-US/NY]}</g:price>
To retrieve prices including different price values for simple products associated to a configurable one (from Data Feed Manager v7.3):
<g:price>{price parent,[EUR],[20.0]}</g:price>

From Data feed Manager v7.4.4
- customer_group_id allows you to determine which price rules must apply for a given custom group id (by default the "NOT LOGGED IN" cutsomer group applies)
<g:price>{price_rules,[currency],[vat_rate],[customer_group_id]}</g:price> {group_price}
Retrieves the Group price if it exists. Otherwise it displays the normal price.
For example :
<g:price>{group_price,[1],[USD],[0]}</g:price>
You also have the possibility to use some parameters with this attribute:
- customer_group is the id of the customer group for which the group price is valid (check in Customers > Customer groups).
- currency is for currency conversion. This option automatically converts the original product price to a specified currency. It uses an exchange rate already stored by you in your admin panel. By default, your local currency is used.
- vat_rate is a floating value between 0.00 and 100.00 that represents an arbitrary VAT rate to apply. This option rewrites the VAT rule for the product except if the product doesn't have any tax class.

Parent Attributes
/!\ From Simple Google Shopping v4.8.1 and Data Feed Manager v2.6.1
Most of the time simple products are related to parent products like configurable, grouped and bundle products. That is why you might need to retrieve Parent attribute values instead of simple product attribute values such as url, image, description...
All the above attributes (Basic, Special and Magic) may be used to retrieve a Parent attribute value instead of a product attribute value.
All options are still available, eg: {description parent,[htmlentities]}
{attribute_code parent}
Retrieves the first parent attribute value.
The parent value is retrieved only if the simple (item) product is associated with a parent product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
The parent product may be a configurable, a grouped or a bundle product. The first parent product that matches the simple product is used to get the attribute value.
Eg:
{G:PRODUCT_TYPE parent}
<g:product_type>{categories parent,[last]}</g:product_type> {attribute_code configurable}
Retrieves the first configurable parent attribute value.
The configurable product value is retrieved only if the simple product is associated to a configurable product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
Eg:
{G:IMAGE_LINK configurable}
<g:image_link>{image configurable}</g:image_link> {attribute_code grouped}
Retrieves the first grouped parent attribute value.
The grouped product value is retrieved only if the simple product is associated to a grouped product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
Eg :
{G:GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY grouped}
<link>{url grouped}</link> {attribute_code bundle}
Retrieves the first bundle parent attribute value.
The bundle product value is retrieved only if the simple product is associated to a bundle product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
Eg:
{G:SALE_PRICE bundle}
<g:price>{price bundle}</g:price> Add PHP scripts into your templates
It's possible to add PHP scripts directly into your XML and CSV templates. These scripts must be included between an opening and closing PHP tag (<? ... ?>). The value you want to display must be retrieved by using the return instruction. You can also use a product instance object (registered as $product variable) in order to use its specific methods. For example:
You may need to get the thumbnail images rather than the high definition images:
<? return Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'image')->resize(265,265); ?>
You may want to check the quantity of all items of a configurable product:
<?
$childProducts = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')
->getUsedProducts(null,$product);
$stock_count=0;
foreach($childProducts as $child){
$stock_count+=(int)Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($child)->getQty();
}
return "<g:quantity>".$stock_count."</g:quantity> ";
?>
Above is an example using php script, but you can simply retrieve this value using the {qty} attribute.
You may need to filter out some products that don't match with some conditionnal statements:
<?
if(strlen($product->getUpc())>=12) return "{upc}";
elseif ($product->getMpn()) return "{mpn}";
else $myPattern=null; // this will skip the products that don't match with the above conditions
?>
You may need to check some specific conditions in order to display a conditionnal value:
<g:shipping>
<g:country>US</g:country>
<g:region>MA</g:region>
<g:service>Ground</g:service>
<g:price><? if("{price}">50) return "Free shipping"; else return "9.90 USD"; ?></g:price>
</g:shipping>
Create your custom attributes
Data Feed Manager allows you to create your own attributes and to add them to your data feed. To create custom attributes from your Magento admin, go to Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Custom Attributes.
Some examples of use are loaded by default when installing the extension.
Here is how to proceed:
1. Create a new attribute.
2. Fill in the attribute code with the name of your custom attribute
3. Add your custom script - No need to add the php tags (<? and ?>) -
4. Add the new custom attribute into your data feed template in Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Data Feed.
The custom attributes php codes are based on the same rules than any php code included in the template:
- the output value must be retrieved with the return instruction
- use a product instance object (registered as $product variable) to use its specific methods
Example of custom attributes
Replace some words in the product descriptions:
<?
$search=array('Nokia','BlackBerry','apple');
$replace=array("NOKIA","BLACKBERRY","APPLE");
return str_ireplace($search, $replace,$product->getDescription());
?> Create your own custom options
Data Feed Manager also allows you to create custom options. To create your own options, go to Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Custom Options.
Here is how to proceed:
1. Create a new option
2. Fill in the option name with the name of your custom option
3. Define the number of additional parameters expected by your custom option
4. Add your custom script - No need to add the php tags (<? and ?>) -
5. Add the new custom option into your data feed template
The custom option php codes are based on the same rules than any php code included in the template:
- the output value must be retrieved with the 'return' instruction
- the $product variable contains an instance of the current product
- the $value variable contains the value of the current attribute
- the $param array contains the additionnal parameters expected by the option
EXAMPLES OF CUSTOM OPTIONS
- Get all the lowest categories from the different category path for each product:
Option name: lowest
Additionnal parameters: 0
Php script:
<?
$array=array();
$paths=explode(',',$value);
foreach($paths as $path){
$cats=explode('>',$path);
$array[]=array_pop($cats);
}
return implode(', ',$array);
?>
Syntax to use in your template:
{categories,[INF],[1],[INF],[lowest]}
- Get the deepest category path for each product :
Option name: deepest
Additionnal parameters: 0
Php script:
<?
$paths=explode(",",$value);
sort($paths);
return array_pop($paths);
?>
Syntax to use in your template:
{categories,[INF],[1],[INF],[deepest]}
- Retrieve a default value if the attribute value is empty:
Option name: default
Additionnal parameters: 1
Php script:
<? if(trim($value)=='') return $param[1]; ?>
Syntax to use in your template:
{description,[default],[your default description]}
{name,[default],[your default product name]} Shopping engines configurations

<g:gtin>{upc}</g:gtin> How to create a data feed in Google Merchant Center?
In order to submit your products to Google Shopping, you'll have to create a data feed in your Google Merchant Center.
Once you're login into Google Merchant Center, go in the Data feeds section.
You can choose between creating a New Data Feed and a New Test Data Feed.
We recommend that you start by creating a New Test Data Feed.
After clicking on New Test Data Feed, you have to choose the target country and a name for your data feed ("datafeed_test" by example).
You can confirm by clicking on Save changes.
Now you can see your data feed appears in the data feeds list.
Next step will be to setup this data feed so it will import the data feed you created with the extension Simple Google Shopping in your Magento store.
Click on the link Create schedule. You are now accessing the schedule upload options.
You can manage the Google Merchant's importation frequency. You can choose to import you data feed monthly, weekly or daily at a specific time.
Paste your data feed's URL in the field Feed URL.
Click on Schedule and fetch now to start the importation and the process of your data feed.
Your data feeds' status shows Processing...
After a few minutes, Google Merchant Center shows you the number of inserted items and offers you to display errors in your data feed.
Click on View errors will show you errors in your data feed.
Google Merchant Center discerns 2 kinds of anomaly: errors and warnings.
As long it will remain errors in your data feed, Google Merchant will not display your items in Google Shopping.
It's very important to read errors' descriptions. It will help you to understand and fix quickly your data feed's issues.
Once the errors fixed, you'll be able to proceed to the creation of a new data feed (not a test one this time) which will perform the processing and referencing of your items by Google Shopping.
Warning: the validation of the first submission of your data feed to Google can take some days because it's performing manually by Google's teams. The next submissions will be validated almost instantly.

You may also have to request a free license transfer. If so, you can follow our faq.
Why do I get a message 'Unable to update your license' in my admin?
If you get the following message in your Magento admin:
Wyomind extension
Unable to update your license : your subscription has expired.
In order to extend your subscription, please connect into your Wyomind account.It probably means that you installed a higher version than the one you're licensed for.
You'll have 2 possibilities:
1. Download and install the extension version you purchased by choosing for example 8.0.0 (installed)
2. or increase your upgrade period and install the new version of the extension clicking on upgrade now
I get a 404 error instead of the configuration page in the admin panel
Most of the time log-out/log-in may solve this issue.I get a fatal error concerning Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup.php
If your site crashes and gives this error message after uploading all files to the correct folders:
Fatal error: Class 'Wyomind_Notificationmanager_Model_Resource_Setup' not found in includes/src/Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup.php on line 234
It probably comes from installing an extension while the compiler is still enabled.
Important note:
- If the compilation is enabled on your website (System > Tools > Compilation). Disable it first before installing any extension. After installation re-run the compilation process and re-enable the compiler.
- Before installing any extension, it's advisable to backup your Magento installation.
Here is the way to disable the magento compiler:
Edit the following file: includes/config.php and add a # before the 2 following lines:define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src'); define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');to get:
#define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src'); #define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');Then go back to your website admin and re-run the compilation process.
I get an error saying ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.
It can happen on localhost environments because of rights on session files stored locally.
You have to rename app/code/local/wyomind/datafeedmanager/sql/datafeedmanager_setup to something different: for example datafeedmanager_setup_XX.I get an error saying "Base table or view not found".
This issue may be due to a problem during the installation process.
You can fix it by following these steps:
- Access your database via your control panel (Phpmyadmin for example).
- Delete the entry extension_setup from the core_resource table. Be careful, that entry depends on your extension. For example, if you have the extension called Simple Google Shopping, you should delete simplegoogleshopping_setup.
- Logout from your Magento admin.
- Log into your Magento admin.
How do I fix the issues with scheduled tasks?
How do cron tasks work:
- cron.php is launched regularly from your server side (every 5 minutes most of the time)
- The cron task for Data Feed Manager is targeted and evaluates if a data feed or a profile needs to be refreshed (depending on the timestamp stored in the database and on the schedule table for this specific profile)
- If the above condition matches, then the data feed and the profile is re-generated
Be sure that you have correctly configured a scheduled task from the server side (cpanel) targeting the cron.php file in your magento installation.
Data Feed Manager includes reporting and debug tools for the scheduled tasks in:
system > configuration > Wyomind > Data Feed Manager
We also strongly advice to install the AOE Scheduler that will help you to monitor the magento cron tasks.
I get a 403 Forbidden error when saving data
If when saving your data feed configuration, you get:
Forbidden, You don't have permission to access /.../ on this server.
This is probably something regarding the hosting company that doesn't allow to post XML in the form.
The mod_security (security module) includes rules that stop all post/get requests including code.
In order to fix that issue, you should get in touch with your hosting company so that they can add some exceptions to the security rules.
I get a 404 error instead of the Google Taxonomy
You must apply the permissions 644 to lib > Google or lib > Wyomind directory and all sub folders and files via FTP.
I get a 404 error instead of the extension page in the admin panel
Try to run the below request in phpmyadmin or in any database manager :
For Simple Google Shopping :
UPDATE simplegoogleshopping SET store_id=(SELECT store_id FROM core_store WHERE store_id>0 LIMIT 1);
For Data Feed Manager
UPDATE datafeedmanager_configurations SET store_id=(SELECT store_id FROM core_store WHERE store_id>0 LIMIT 1);
I get a 404 error page after deleting a storeview
If after deleting a storeview, you get a 404 error page, you must look in your database (with PhpMyAdmin) which store_id (i.e. storeview ID) has been deleted.
Then to fix the issue, you have to update each element from the table simplegoogleshopping or datafeedmanager (depending on your extension) with another valid store_id.
I get an error saying "Please make sure that '/feeds/' is writable by the server"
The directory in which your data feed is stored must be writable (permisssion 755). You should try to use another directory such as /media/ if /feeds/ is not properly set by changing the content of Path field.
I get an error saying "Please create the specified folder before saving the data feed configuration"
You need to access your server with FTP client software (like Filezilla).
Then in your Magento root directory, you need to create the "feeds" folder and apply the 755 permissions.
I get an error saying "This is a required field" even if I select one or all fields
Check if all files have been uploaded on your server and if you are using the compiled CSS/JS then re-compile all the data from your cache section.
I get an empty feed when I try to open it from my browser
You may have an incorrect character in your data feed description, for example the '&' character.
In that case you should replace the '&' character with 'and' or enclose your data between CDATA as in the example below.
Characters from my data feed aren't displayed properly.
First, be sure you used special attributes which will clean your content:
{attribute,[strip_tags],[html_entity_decode],[inline],[cleaner]}If your data feed still doesn't display properly, maybe it's because you try to read it as an ISO file while Data Feed Manager creates UTF-8 encoded files.
We recommend you to read it with dedicated programs like Notepad++ or even Firefox (with Display > Encoding type > utf8 selected).
Why all the attributes of my data feed are wrapping in between CDATA?
CDATA stands for Character Data. It means that the data in between these tags include data that could be interpreted as XML markup, but should not be.
Syntactically, CDATA behaves similarly to a comment but it is still part of the document.
CDATA sections have no encoding, so there's no way to include the string ]]> in them.Why when I generate a new feed, it's creating a brand new URL?
For example, you are getting https://mywebsite.com/googlefeed/example_feed.xml?r=0123456789 instead of https://mywebsite.com/googlefeed/example_feed.xml.
Actually, the url https://mywebsite.com/googlefeed/example_feed.xml is still available. The parameter ?r=0123456789 at the end of it is simply a random number to avoid cache issue when you download the data feed from your magento admin.What's the difference between Generating and Exporting a data feed?
Generating a data feed is totally different from exporting a data feed.
To Generate a data feed from Data Feed Manager, you only need to choose Generate in the action dropdown from the data feeds list or to click on Generate from the feed configuration.
You will get an .xml, .csv or .txt file according to your configuration. This will allow you to upload your products data into the platform you want (such as Google Shopping).
To Export a data feed from Data Feed Manager, you only need to choose Export in the action dropdown from the data feeds list or to click on Export from the feed configuration.
You will get a .dfm file. You will be able to save a template that you have previously created from Data Feed Manager and to import it if needed into your Magento admin for example.
Why some products are not showing up in one of my data feeds, but they do in other ones?
This issue must come from string values with some HTML tags, non-UTF8 chars,...
In order to fix this, you could use the following options to all concerned fields:
{attribute,[strip_tags],[html_entity_decode],[inline],[cleaner]}Here is the detail of parameters used above:
- strip_tags: Remove all HTML tags
- html_entity_decode: Convert all HTML entities to their UTF8 equivalents
- inline: Remove all unneeded spaces
- cleaner: Remove all non UTF8 chars
How to download my file?
To download your file, you need to:
- Generate the file
- Right-click on on the generated link from the grid
- Choose the "Save as" option
How to open my CSV file with a spreadsheet application?
You have the possibility to open the generated CSV file with any spreadsheet application.
While opening your data feed, you need to make sure to select the delimiter options that correspond with your data feed configuration.
- In your data feed configuration, choose how your columns will be separated with: tabulation, comma, semi-colon...
- Generate the data feed.
- Open the data feed with a spreadsheed application.
- Choose the same delimiter and enclosure characters as in your data feed configuration.
For example, if you've chosen semi-colon as Fields delimiter, then you'll need to open the file choosing ";" as field delimiter as well as if you've choosen double quotes as the Fields enclosure, then you'll have to make sure that you've selected the same character.
Note that the Excel application won't show this popup when opening the file.
How does the category mapping work?
What is category mapping?
Categories names you are using in your Magento aren't always the same than the ones used by Google Merchant to reference your products.This means you have to find out which Google Merchant categories have the best matching with yours, according to the Google product taxonomy.
For example, if you're selling furnitures like coffee tables, you'll have a Coffee table category in your Magento admin.
But Google Merchant doesn't handle this kind of category. The closest Google product category could be Kitchen & Dining Room Table.
So this should appear this way in your data feed:
<g:google_product_category>Furniture > Desks & Tables > Kitchen & Dining Room Tables</g:google_product_category>
This Google product category will be retrieved in your data feed after 2 steps.
1. How to map my categories with Data Feed Manager?
Data Feed Manager provides you an easy way to input Google product categories matching yours.
In your data feed configuration, go in the Categories tab. Then, in Category selection and mapping section, you'll find a treeview of all your categories.For each category, you have a little arrow followed by mapped as . There, you'll be able to start typing a keyword in order to display a list of all categories including that keyword. You simply need to select the one you need.
If your press the End key of your keyboard after typing a category mapping, the value will apply to all sub-categories.Once all your categories are mapped, you can click on the Save button.
Here are a few guide lines for choosing the most appropriate category:
- Use the category that best describes your item. To do this, first determine the primary function of the products you are submitting. For specific items like MP3 Players, select the MP3 Players category. While some MP3 players can also serve different functions, like those that contain a clock, they are primarily MP3 Players.
- Use only one category. For some products, more than one category might be relevant. For example, an adapter to allow an MP3 player to be used in a car could be in both categories Motor Vehicles > Audio & Video and Electronics > Audio > Audio Accessories > MP3 Player Accessories . In such cases, choose the category that seems the most appropriate to you, but don't include more than one.
- Use the most specific category possible. Being specific will help improve your data quality and in turn ensure that offers are presented in the right category. When viewing the taxonomy, try to navigate to the most specific category that still covers all the products being submitted. For instance, if you are submitting MP3 player chargers use the category MP3 Player Chargers . Conversely, if you are submitting multiple types of chargers use the category Chargers .
2. How to add the Google category to the Data Feed Manager XML template?
Finally, so that the Google category is retrieved in your data feed, you must add the following attribute to the XML template:{G:GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY}or
<g:google_product_category>{category_mapping,[0]}</g:google_product_category>Please note that this attribute is different from Product Type for which the name of the category you have defined in your Magento admin is retrieved. Google recommends you include this attribute for all products, and for all target-countries. It will result in better categorization for your products.
Video tutorial on how to map your categoriesHow do filters work?
Data Feed Manager provides you multiple ways to adjust which kind of products you want in your datafeed.
In the Filters tab of your datafeed configuration, you'll find 3 sections:- Product type
- Product visibility
- Advanced filters
Product typeIn this section, you could choose which kind of product type (Simple, Configurable, Bundle, Grouped, Virtual, Downloadable) you want to export.
By example ( Case 1 ), if you're selling t-shirts and you want to export every sizes and every colors individually , just tick Simple checkbox and leave others empty.
But if you only want ( Case 2 ) to export your t-shirts and specify appart sizes and colors available , tick Configurable checkbox and leave others empty.
PLEASE NOTE that Google Merchant specify that for feeds targeting US, UK, FR, and JP : Any apparel item that varies by 'color', 'material', 'pattern', and/or 'size', must be submitted as a unique combination (like in our Case 1 ).
Product visibilityIn this section, you will be able to export in your datafeed the products depending on their visibility in Magento.
In our Case 1 , your simple products are probably not visible individually (because connected to configurable products). So you'll have to tick Not visible individually checkbox.
If you're in the Case 2 , just tick Catalog and Search checkboxes, it'll do it great.
Advanced filtersThis is probably the most powerful part of the filters section.
This section will allow you to filter your products with barely all the ways you want to. You can apply condition on each attribute of your products, like price, name, SKU, color, size, etc.
Most of the conditions available are pretty obvious : = , < , > , ≤ , ≥ , ≠
Like and Not like are to use with the wildcards _ (any character) and % (zero or more characters)
By example, this will return only products whose name starts with 'rock and roll' (like 'rock and roll pants', 'rock and roll shirt', etc):
null and is not null are used to identify products with empty attributes.
in and not in are used to identify products with possible multiple values (like t-shirts whose color is black or blue or red by example).
PLEASE NOTE that attributes with multiple values (like Shirt Size) appear as a list (Small, Medium, Large). This makes you easier to select specific products.How to schedule my data feed generation with Data Feed Manager?
Data Feed Manager provides you a fully configurable schedule in the Scheduled task tab of your template configuration for each data feed.
Warning: So that it works, you must have one main scheduled task running from your server side and targeting cron.php (or cron.sh) located in the Magento root directory (each hour ideally).
If the management panel from your hosting compagny doesn't provide such a service, you can use a remote service such as: http://www.mywebcron.com.
Data Feed Manager also provides you a cron job reporting, so you can get email reports on each data feed you will generate.
How to configure FTP Settings tab?
In Data Feed Manager, you can specify ftp settings to upload your data feeds.
Select a data feed and go to the Ftp Settings tab. There you'll be able to configure some parameters:
Enable FTP upload
Secure connection (sftp) is only available in the latest version of Data Feed Manager.
Select Yes if you want to upload your data feed using FTP.
Use SFTP
Select Yes if you are using SFTP.Use Active mode
If you are using SFTP, you don't have to care about the passive/active mode.
For more info about Active and Passive mode, have a look to that documentation.
Host
In that field, fill in the host.
For example: “ftp.wyomind.com”
Login
is your login to connect to server
Password
is your password to connect to server
Destination director
is a relative path from the entry directory when you connect to the ftp.
For example: "upload/" or "/".In order to be sure your settings are correct, click on Test Connection.
- If you don't have an error message, it means the connection succeeded.
- If you have an error message, you'll certainly have to check your credentials.
The file is uploaded each time the feed is generated manually or automatically.
What changes to bring to my template to meet Google's new requirements?
Among Google's new requirements, we find:
- availability: 3 values are now accepted (in stock / out of stock / preorder).
- mobile landing page: if you have a mobile site, you can provide the mobile url for each product
- age group: 3 new values: Newborn / Infant / Toddler / Kids / Adults
- NEW size type: Regular / Petite / Plus / Big and Tall / Maternity
- NEW size system: US, UK, EU, DE, FR, JP, CN, IT, BR, MEX, AU
Some of these requirements can concern you and affect your data feed. But it is quite easy to correct these changes.
- Availability
Products which are "available for order" are now "preorder".
So with the {is_in_stock} special attribute, you can copy in your template:<g:availability>{is_in_stock?[in stock]:[out of stock]:[preorder]}</g:availability>- Mobile landing page
Let's imagine your mobile site is m.example.com, then you'll only have to replace www with m for each url. Then, copy in your template:
<mobile_link>{url,[str_replace("www","m","%s")]}</mobile_link>How to use operand in my template?
You can use the OR operand with any kind of attribute (without option). See example below:
{attributeA | attributeB}If attributeA exists then the value will be attributeA, otherwise, the value will be attributeB.
There isn't other operand of this kind.
How to remove VAT from prices in my data feeds?
You just need to use {price,[CUR],[0]} instead of {price} in your template.
Replace CUR by the currency you need. For example:{price,[CUR]} will be used if the prices of your catalog are already including VAT.{price,[EUR],[0]}How to apply a custom VAT on my products?
You can use {price,[X.XX]} instead of {price} in your template. X.XX is a floating number between 0.00 and 100.00 representing the percentage you want to apply to the price. For example:
{price,[20.00]}How to display the categories in the product urls?
In your data feed, you get https://www.mywebsite.com/product but the correct url is https://www.mywebsite.com/category/subcategory/product.
You can define the options under System > Configuration > Wyomind > Simple Google Shopping to retrieve the url you want.
You'll be able to choose which URL path to use in Use canonical urls. You can choose between 3 options:
- Product url
- Shortest category url
- Longest category url
For example, if you have a "T-shirt" in 2 categories: "New arrivals" and "Shirts", then depending on your configuration, you'll get different results:
- Shortest category url = mywebsite.com/men/shirts/t-shirt
- Longest category url = mywebsite.com/men/new-arrivals/t-shirt
The product url won't include any category or subcategory.
How to include configurable products to my Google Shopping data feed?
According to Google's requirements, you should only have simple products exported in your generated data feed. In fact, configurable products are only empty shells for your simple products.
In the case where you export only simple variants into your data feed, you need to check that:- you use the Parent option to retrieve the information from the configurable product.
For example: <link> {url parent} </link> or {G:LINK parent}
- your filters are not too restrictive.
For example if your simple variants are not visible individually, make sure to have ticked that options in your data feed filters.
- the categories you've selected are assigned to the simple variant.
For example, if only the parent product has a category assigned, you'll be able to include product into your data feed based on the Product and parent categories.
How to add a new taxonomy file in Data Feed Manager?
The Google product taxonomy is a tree of categories that will help you generate values for the 'Google product category' attribute. It lists all possible values for the 'Google product category' attribute.
In that page, choose the language you want to use for your taxonomy at the bottom right. Then, in the Downloadable taxonomy, open the Plain Text link that contains full category names.
Save that file and paste it in Magento Root Directory > Lib > Wyomind.
Don't forget to apply the permissions 644 to the file.
You'll then be able to choose that specific taxonomy from your data feed configuration.
How to automatically append utm tags to all the product URLs?
In order to track revenue for product ads in Google Analytics, you can easily add the url parameters just after the {url} attribute:
{url}?campaign=bingads&media=feed...How to use the product custom options in your template?
You can use the custom options of your products in your template.
Note: This can be done only with the last version of the module (v7.0.0)
STEP 1
Add the following snippet to your template:{load_options,[OptionA],[OptionB]}OptionA and OptionB are the titles of the custom options of your product given in the admin area. These titles are case sensitive and space sensitive, so they must be entered exactly as they are in the admin.
As an example, we have a product with 2 custom options: LugColor and LugSize. So the product is available in Small, Medium, Large and in Black, Purple and White.
Instead of one item in our data feed we will get 9 items:- Product 1 Small Black
- Product 1 Small Purple
- Product 1 Small White
- Product 1 Medium Black
- etc
So our template should look like the following screenshot in order to retrieve all the options of our product.
STEP 2
In your data feed, you have the possibility to use the following attributes:- {OptionA_label} {OptionB_label}
- {OptionA_sku} {OptionB_sku}
- {OptionA_price} {OptionB_price}
- {OptionA_type} {OptionB_type}
Your template must be managed to avoid any duplicated items, so instead of:
<g:id>{sku}</g:id>You must use:
<g:id>{sku} {OptionA_sku} {OptionB_sku}</g:id>and concerning the prices, you should use:
<g:price><? return {price}+{OptionA_price}+{OptionB_price}; ?></g:price>So if we take the example of our product, we should add {LugColor_label} {LugSize_label} into our template. Then for each option, it will retrieve it's own label: black, purple and white.
How to reflect type of currency in URL links?
You have the correct currency specified in your data feed. However, when a customer clicks on the link from Google Shopping, it shows the default currency instead of the correct currency.
For this reason Google may not approve your data feed and may suspend your account.
That issue has nothing to do with the extension, but you can easily fix it copying the file app/code/Core/Mage/Core/Model/Url.php to app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Url.php.
In the file app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Url.php, locate the function setRoutesParams and add the below code at the beginning of the function :if (!is_null($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency'))) { if ($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency') != Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode()) { Mage::app()->getStore()->setCurrentCurrencyCode($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency')); } }
The beginning of the function should now look like :// [...] public function setRouteParams(array $data, $unsetOldParams = true) { // the changes begin here if (!is_null($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency'))) { if ($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency') != Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode()) { Mage::app()->getStore()->setCurrentCurrencyCode($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency')); } } // the changes end here if (isset($data['_type'])) { $this->setType($data['_type']); unset($data['_type']); } //[...]You can now use ?currency=currency_code at the end of your products urls so that the monnaie will be loaded automatically when displaying the page.
eg :
http://www.website.com/men/new-arrivals/linen-blazer.html?currency=EUR
or
http://www.website.com/men/new-arrivals/linen-blazer.html?currency=USDHow to get the list of all categories in my data feed?
This can be easily achieved with a few lines of php code in the product pattern or even in the header pattern. For example:
<categories> <? if(!isset($this->done)){ $xml=null; $categories= Mage::getModel("catalog/category")->getCollection() ->addAttributeToFilter('level',array('gt'=>1)) ->addAttributeToSelect('name'); foreach($categories as $category){ $xml.="<category> <name>".$category->getName()."</name> <url>".$category->getUrl()."</url> </category>\n"; } $this->done=true; return $xml; } ?> </categories>This code will produce:
<categories> <category> <name><![CDATA[Women]]></name> <url><![CDATA[http://www.wyomind.com/women.html]]></url> </category> <category> <name><![CDATA[Men]]></name> <url><![CDATA[http://www.wyomind.com/men.html]]></url> </category> ... </categories>
How to exclude products from a data feed based on the category ID?
You need to complete your data feed template with some php script:
<? if(in_array(CATEGORY_ID,explode(',',$product->getCategoriesIds())) $myPattern=null; ?>How to exclude some specific products in Data Feed Manager?
You have the possibility to exclude some products from the feed using advanced filters from the Filters section.
For example, you would like to filter out 3 products: SKU1, SKU2 and SKU3. Then you only have to create a NOT IN advanced filter as below:
Sometimes, advanced filters aren't enough to generate your data feed in the way you want it to be.
For example, let's say you want to extract all your catalog products, except the ones whose category mapping is Shoes. If you tick all categories except the Shoes one in the Categories section, you'll miss all uncategorized products.
In that case, you can use a code snippet in your template which will exclude the Shoes category.
This will only work if you untick all categories in the Categories section.<?if("{category_mapping}"=="Shoes") $myPattern=null;?> (if category is Shoes then skip the product).In a general notation:
<?if("{attribute_code}"=="value") $myPattern=null;?>How to avoid enabled child products to show up in the feed when their parent products are disabled?
When you want to disable configurable products, you usually only disable parent products and not the relative simple products. The consequence is that these simple products are still present in your data feed.
To save you from the annoying task of disabling each child product, you can first enable the Include disabled products option in System > Configuration > Wyomind > Data Feed Manager > Core Setting.
Then, you have to add the following script in the Product Pattern field of your data feed configuration:<? {status,[isset]} ?> <?if($this->checkReference("parent",$product)->getStatus()==2) $myPattern=null;?>Finally, in the Filters tab of your data feed, add:
Status | = | enabled (or 1 if the dropdown doesn't display)
How to sort products order in the data feed?
You can add the sort order by editing app/code/local/wyomind/datafeedmanager/model/product/collection.php.
Replace all code with the below code (change "attribute" with the code of your attribute):
<?php class Wyomind_Datafeedmanager_Model_Product_Collection extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Mysql4_Product_Collection { public function isEnabledFlat() { return false; } public function getCollection() { return $this->addAttributeToSort('attribute', 'asc'); } } ?>How to skip all the empty values of my data feed?
There are several possibilities to skip the empty values of your data feed:
1. You can use the advanced filters in order to filter out the products for which the value is null.
Here is how to use the advanced filters with Data Feed Manager: https://www.wyomind.com/data-feed-manager-magento.html#Filters
2. You can use some php scripts that will clear the output ($myPattern=null;) depending on your own conditions:
<? if (...something...) $myPattern=null: ?>
3. You can also return a false boolean value in the custom attribute that will skip the corresponding products:
return false;
How to generate custom values for a specific attribute?
First, create a custom attribute in Catalog > Data Feed Manager > Custom Attributes. For example {attribute_name}.
Then, in the php section enter the code you need:if($value="A") return 123; elseif($value="B") return "456";
Don't forget to Save your custom attribute!
Finally, insert the attribute in you template:
How to limit the number of products exported?
You can limit the number of exported products (eg: 500) in your data feed by adding the following script in the product pattern:
<?php $this->_limit=500 ?>
How to improve my datafeed generation process?
If you have a huge number of products in your Magento (10 000+), it may occur that your data feed generation either takes too much time, either returns an error.
This issue is usually due to the URL rewriting system.
In order to improve this process, you can try to run the following request in your database:DELETE FROM `core_url_rewrite` WHERE `core_url_rewrite`.`options` = 'RP';
You can also completely re-initialize the whole url rewrite process in 2 steps:
1. Empty the table named core_url_rewrite in Magento database by using this syntax:TRUNCATE core_url_rewrite
2. Reindex your URLs in your Magento admin (System > Index Management)

Fantastic plugin, even better service
This plugin does exactly what it says it's going to and is very easy to use. However, what really sets it apart is the incredible support. I've had a couple of instance where we needed some help in getting our data to format correctly, and each time support responded within a couple of hours to help us fix our code. I couldn't recommend this more.

This is definitely one of the best export extensions out there. The customization options are endless, I have not yet stumbled across one requirement this extension couldn't fulfill. The possibility to use php functions, If / else conditioning, etc with any attribute allows for a dynamic export of literally any information.

High quality extension
Works on CE 1.9.1.A lot of functions. Easy to use by duplicating the included templates.Some tricky operations however.To add a new variable in the template, we must add it as a filter. But to me, a _filter_ is to filter, not to create variables :)Then the code has to be placed in app/code/local and not in app/code/community. An old mistake from the developer it seems.But that's details. A good extension !

Excellent product, even better support
I've used Wyomind's Data Feed Manager on two sites now. It's flexible, works as advertised, and helps enable non-developer team members quickly produce the feeds to integrate with other services that would otherwise require custom work. Huge timesaver for our development team.I needed to add our custom product type to the collection filter for our feed and was blown away by how quickly support responded and pointed me in the right direction. It would be more convenient if custom product types were added to the filter list dynamically, but the resolution provided by Wyomind support (adding the custom product type to filters.phtml) was quick and effective.I would prefer to see the code located in app/code/community, and the source is obfuscated (and thus more difficult to understand and extend), but this extension provides great value out of the box and support worthy of commendation.

Top Notch Support
I'd left an earlier review about Data Feed Manager extolling the positives of the extension, and wanted to follow up with another review regarding support.I was running into an issue getting my feeds to appear correctly in Google Merchant Center and after a few hour of frustration decided to contact support.They immediately responded to my email and within a short period of time helped identify the problem; nothing to do with the extension, just an operator error on my part regarding entering the correct information in GMC.It was not really their problem, but they went the extra mile and walked through the issues with me and I now have my feeds up and running in Google Shopping.Excellent extension. Great support!

Good Skeleton - Need to Buy their Support
Out of the box it looks as it works perfectly with all of the feeds. They confirmed it is compliant with Google's new feed specification, however what is not made clear is that you have to do all of the work yourself. The templates provided are just starter templates and do not work out of the box to feed data for every type of product (configurable/bundle) to Google, for instance.For example, bundles do not show up, unless you make sure you uncheck "not individually visible", which sort of defeats the purpose of that field.Upon pointing that out, I was met with brashness from the customer support"If you're too lazy to read the documentation and understand how it works, I'm afraid we can't help you more."Don't bother wasting money on this product. Its quicker to just write your own code, then spend hours pouring over their documentation.

Top developer support for this extension, adapted the extension to my needs
This is a follow up review to my purchase of this extension.I have had data feed manager for a while now and since the purchase of this extension it has been great as I have been able to create & generate all feeds and update the templates to the new Google product feed specifications to include new attributes such as size_type and size_system.Just recently I had needed developer support as I was expanding my category structure to approximately 6000 categories and required category mapping to be limited to the 2nd category level down to boost performance of my magento platform and this extension. Pierre was able to complete this by customising the extension that was installed on my server and during the process he always kept intouch with me during the process.The best things about this extension and Wyomind is that not only are feeds editable, but I have received top customer support way after I purchased this extension and the extension was able to be adapted to my needs after it was installed on the server.This extension in my opinion is the best for creating data feeds and the best for professionals who require support for the extension long after you have purchased, should it need to be adapted to your needs in the future.

Superb customer support
We have a particularly complicated product set up on our sites and Wyomind kindly allowed us to test the product risk free to determine whether it would meet our specific business needs.Although Data Feed Manager is extremely feature rich, it unfortunately didn't fully support our non-standard implementation, so we opted not to use it and were kindly refunded. However, the product itself looks great and the customer service we experienced was really quite excellent. Thanks, Wyomind!

Their response was quick and they really helped us to solve things i did not know to implement. This is were i saw how powerfull the module is. It is a must have for webshops if you want to work with feeds. Great support and a briljant module.

Originally we needed an improved Google shopping feed extension so we bought the 'SIMPLE GOOGLE SHOPPING' from Wyomind which worked so well and gave us so much flexibility we decided to buy the Data Feed Manager to handle all our Magento data exports.We run multiple installations of Magento and this extension gives us powerful features to tailor each feed exactly as we want it for each independent platform.The extension has worked flawlessly and the support from the Wyomind team has been second to none and is by far the fastest support I have ever experienced.I highly recommend this extension!

This Really Simplifies Handling Multiple Feeds

The support I have received from Wyomind has been nothing short of amazing!Due to some issues with our site it took a huge amount of time for me to get this extension working correctly, Pierre and Paul answered question after question promptly and without complaint, even offering advice on issues not related to the extension. Now it is working and it does exactly what I expected.Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.

Great Product, Even Better Support
This data feed manager has been fantastic for our website. It took some time to learn how to set things up, but they have pretty good documentation on their website.The best thing I can say about this extension, however, is that the support is phenomenal. On three separate occasions I've written the developers when I've been stuck trying to get something to display in our datafeeds, and each time they've gone above and beyond in helping me fix the issue (usually responding to my email within hours). Unbelievable, friendly support.Obviously, I highly recommend this.

Best Data Feed Extension with Excellent Support
After trying many data feed managers I can say without doubt that this extension is by far the best and most feature rich on the market. Every attritubute of any feed is highly configurable.

This is a great export tool with tons of flexibility. I was able to produce everything I needed which avoids several manual steps we were going through which had a lot of risk. Their support, I dealt with Paul, is first class, not only do they get to you quickly, extremely helpful and provided working solutions first time. I would recommend this extension to anyone and so far has been my best extension experience.

Excellent Extension w/ Excellent Support
This is exactly what we needed to get into both Amazon and Google Shopping. The extension is very well documented and Support responds within minutes to any custom requests. I just got done working with Paul at Wyomind to implement an if/then statement for the pricing. He's a ninja!

Thank you for making my Life Easy!
1st off if you are looking for an extension for product feeds, this one is hands down very easy to use and does exactly what you need it to. But that's not why I'm writing this review.The Customer Support is the best I have experienced with any extension developer. When I had some trouble, Laurie went above and beyond to make sure everything worked the way it should. When I e-mailed them i expected to hear back tomorrow because of the time difference but Laurie e-mailed me back in under 3 minutes!!! WHAT?!?!! Thats crazy.If you are looking for a extension developer with the best support ever please check wyomind out. I will be purchasing more of their products in the future!A+++++++

Great functionality, excellent service
We've been using this extension to successfully upload feeds to various places. It comes preset with all the necessary templates and we only had to make one minor template customization to get it running just the way we wanted.Moreover, we had a small collision with another extension and so we reached out to both developers on one email thread. Both were absolutely first-rate in debugging and helping us resolve the problem. I highly recommend Wyomind's support, should you need it and would certainly buy more extensions from this developer.

Very flexible feed generation extension
We have been using this extension since 2011. It is the best extension I have seen for generating feeds, with lots of options.Support by Wyomind is very good and always very fast. This gives us the confidence that when we are facing an issue it will be resolved quickly.Also the documentation for this extension is very good and extensive.

really good extension best support ever
no issues on installation on C.E 1.7.0.2. without any change on the default template the feed worked perfectly. I needed some workarounds for specific kind of products and I received a real solution in the shortest time I've ever seen in a support. It wasn't even just a one time thing, I've asked several things and got every time a real answer right away. I would seriuosly worry for him if you don't get an answer :D

Great Extension with exceptional support
This is extension is extremely useful if you need to upload your products to public marketplaces. After getting used to the logic, it helps creating data feeds easily. And the best is that the developer is very helpful and responsive if you run into problems with the configuration. It has upgrade fees, but I think they're justified by the usefulness and the support this extension has.

This extension is a must for all store owners
Save time and make money. This extension removes the laborious task of creating feeds for the many shopping channels out there. Quick and easy to install, simple to understand, and comes with great support. I've used a number of different extensions from Wyomind, all have worked as described, and proved to be worth the price 20 times over.

Great extension, great support
Upgraded from Simple Google Shopping as it struggled with our thousands of URL rewrites, and generating the feed would crash our site.Data Feed Manager is MUCH better, and is incredibly powerful. The feeds generate in a few seconds and is yet to take the site down after several months of use.The support offered is amazing. Quick to respond and all our issues have been resolved within a few hours. Not only that, they're friendly and seem happy to deal with support requests. Whereas most developers are quick to blame the user, and don't spend the time to understand the problem.All in all, a great extension and developer.Cheers!

Very powerful extension and outstanding support
I'd like to express my appreciation to the developer of this extension. It works out of box assuming that you have all standard Magento configuration and system attributes.But even If you have highly customized attributes and complex configurable products this extension rocks! You can define as many custom feed attributes as you want and use some programming. And you can tune this extension to your needs.In some case you can stuck in some step and you can just shoot an Email to Pierre and he will reply within 10 min that's fantastic.Some work still should be done on documentation.Overall I'm very satisfied with this extension and developer.RegardsSharif

Extra Upgradation Fees
I bought this extension around 6 moths before and now when I upgrade my store from 1.6.2 to 1.8.1 then in order to have compatible version I need to pay an additional 40 euros and thats quite a lot.Normally companies offer free upgrade for the extensions and even in case they charge then they charge nominal fees but here the upgrade fees is 40 euros and thats a lot.So please consider this upgrade factor before buying this extension.Wyomind replied :Dear Weleather,All purchase comes with a 3 months free upgrade and you can get a free upgrade at any time by leaving your review on Magento connect.

Keep the Good Work!!!
The customer service is superior. I emailed them, and in less then an hour they responded. Within a few hours my issues were fixed. Consider, I bought the extension an year ago, and I still got the same quality service. The extension is easy to use and offers many options. I am a store owner not developer, and it wasn't hard for me to setup the feeds, they have the templates preset and ready to use, however you still need to spend some time and read the google shopping etc. program guidelines and adjust the templates according to your specific products. The good part is that Wyomind has an extensive library on their website and is all explained even you can find an updated data feeds there. Also, I liked the filters, which allows you to exclude products from the feeds by almost endless criteria. Bottom line: quality extension does everything it claims and even more, and superior customer service. I did my choice with no regrets. I recommend this extension.

Great extention and excellent support
Wyomind is very helpful in creating Data Feeds instantly. Minimum coding and configuration effort, preview the feed before submission, and especially the Magic Attributes and other attributes coupled with options for entity conversion, stripping tags etc. helped me to create the feed in a few minutes. This extension is beneficial for any kind of stores and can be managed by both technical and non technical admins.The support is fast and reliable and answers to all the questions and issues immediately.

A problem but solved with good support
We purchased this to make uplaoding to Google and others easier and automated. Some initial issues with the actual FTP were quickly resolved by very helpful support from the developers who spotted the problem (the FTP doesnt need ftp:// on it!) and we were working in no time.However well or not a component works, the key is the support and the guys were quick, responsive and helpful.

Wonderful and Useful Module
This module is a must for anybody serious about wanting to dip their toes into multi-channel marketing but don't have deep enough pockets to invest in Channel Advisor.There are about 20 ready built templates for the most popular Shopping Price Comparison Engines and It's very powerful and easy to use.If you are feeling a tiny bit braver and need to add a feed for a SPCE that isn't included out of the box then its fairly easy to use, though you do need to understand Magento's Product Attributes and know how to find their attribute codes (Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes: first column in the grid.) However, Pierre has said that in future versions there will be "a library of all available attributes/ options" and this should eliminate the need for even this tiny amount of technical knowledge.

Very happy to have bought this extension!
This is the first time I am writing a review for an extension simply because it just wows me! Having zero knowledge of data feeds, Pierre has assisted me in every way he can to get me up and running.The support via email I received from Pierre is just top notch. Most of the time I emailed him, I received a reply in a few minutes. Never had I received such a responsive and helpful assistance and Pierre will really go all the way to get things going. Just read all the reviews on this page and you will know Pierre is just the perfect guy to go to if you have any needs in data feed.The extension itself is very easy to use after the initial setup. Now included with automatic FTP upload feature, together with schedule task feature, I don't need to worry about Data Feed Manager anymore. Feed is now generated automatically every day and uploaded to FTP automatically. Saves me a lot of time with this!And needless to say, the price for the functions and the unrivaled support from Pierre is simply unmatched. This is the extension you NEED to get if you are thinking to get into Google Shopping or other comparison shopping engines, I am sure you will be very happy as I am.That's all for my honest review of Data Feed Manager, and thanks again for everything, Pierre :)

Best of Breed Feed Extension
I've installed quite a few different ones for clients in the last couple of years but this one goes well beyond where others leave off.The interface takes just a little bit of getting used to since Wyomind has taken the the time to put all adjustable parameter at your fingertips but the beauty is that as a developer I can configure this and don't really have to explain to my clients how to use it.On top of a very well designed product we've gotten first class support from Pierre.Highly recommended and I will be recommending this to any client that comes my way with a request to set up shopping feeds.

I have been meaning to write a review on Wyomind for some time. Our Data Feed Manager extension has been awesome. We have a very large overly complex store. We produce very large feeds for about 20 partners twice a day. This all happens in a few minutes, with minimum load on the server. It just cranks away dutifully producing feeds for over 6 months. Our store admins can create crazy complex feeds, no developer needed. Please beg Wyomind to create an importer with the same UI.

Support has responded right away and resolved any issues/questions we've had. I do think documentation could be better though, was sort of lost and had to figure things out to get things going. Also, we had to have Wyomind send us a SQL script to get the installation going...seems like that is pretty common so expect to have to reach out for that. Otherwise, very fantastic and powerful extension for generating product feeds, this should absolutely be built into Magento out of the box.

I was supposed to even increase my server's PHP settings like memory limit, max post size etc. I bought Feed Manager and all is now happiness. It worked right out of the box without any hassle. It is EXTREMELY quick (unlike GoMage) and it even allows PHP expressions! It does everything that GoMage does (filter by category, by attribute, etc etc etc) I finally got my feeds working and a happy client.

The best extension what I have found for data exports. It includes templates for an export to Google Shopping and all exports for our affiliates partners can be adopted from the existing export examples. On the beginning, we had some trouble with our bundle products, but Pierre give us the best support, what I have ever had. The email reaction time was under 5 minutes and our problems was solved on the next day. Thank you for this Pierre!
