Description
Product XML Feeds for WooCommerce plugin lets you add WooCommerce product XML feeds. Feeds are automatically regenerated using crons.
You can set custom XML templates for the feed. Feeds are created using plugin’s shortcodes. Different templates can be set for:
- XML header.
- XML item.
- XML footer.
In addition you can set custom XML file path and name and set custom products sorting options.

- Products to include/exclude.
- Product categories to include/exclude.
- Product tags to include/exclude.
- Variable products: Variable products only; Variation products only; Both variable and variation products.
- Products scope: All products; Only products that are on sale; Only products that are not on sale; Only products that are featured; Only products that are not featured.
- Products offset and total number of products.

It also includes additional products filtering options:
- Stock status: In stock products; Out of stock products; On backorder products.
- Min and max product prices.
