Product Feeds

We build the product feeds that power your shopping channels — generated from your Shopify catalog, variants and metafields, validated against each channel's spec, and refreshed on a schedule you can trust.

Overview

Feeds built from your source of truth

A product feed is only as good as the data behind it. We generate feeds directly from your Shopify catalog — product, variant and metafield data — so what reaches Google Merchant Center or another channel matches what's actually in your store.

We're engineers first. That means feeds mapped cleanly to each channel's spec, validation that catches problems before they turn into disapprovals, and scheduled refreshes so your feed never goes stale.

Generated from real data
Feeds are built straight from your catalog, variants and metafields — not a separate spreadsheet that drifts out of date.
Channel-ready
Fields are mapped to each channel's spec and validated, so products arrive in the right shape instead of getting rejected.
Automated & scheduled
The feed refreshes on a schedule, so price, stock and catalog changes reach the channel without manual re-exports.
Feed pipeline

One catalogue, reshaped per channel by rules — so nothing is maintained by hand twice.

Use cases

Where this helps most

  • Google Merchant Center feed

    A validated feed generated from your Shopify catalog so Shopping and free listings get accurate product data.

  • Multi-channel feeds

    Separate feeds shaped to each channel's spec from one catalog, without maintaining data by hand for each one.

  • Metafield-driven feed

    Feed fields powered by metafields — GTINs, materials, custom attributes — that live in your store, not a side file.

Process

How we deliver

  1. Map channel & data

    We map the target channel's required fields to your Shopify product, variant and metafield data, and agree the scope.

  2. Build the feed

    We build the feed generation — XML or CSV — pulling from your catalog and structuring variants and attributes correctly.

  3. Validate & test

    We validate the output against the channel spec, check edge cases and confirm products pass before going live.

  4. Automate & monitor

    We schedule the refresh, add logging and alerting, and keep the feed aligned as your catalog and the channel evolve.

FAQ

Product Feeds

Which channels can you build feeds for?
Google Merchant Center is the most common, and we can adapt feeds for other channels that accept XML or CSV. We build the technical feed and its data mapping — we don't manage the ad campaigns or bidding on top of it.
Where does the feed data come from?
Directly from your Shopify catalog — product and variant fields plus metafields for anything Shopify doesn't store natively, like GTINs or custom attributes. That keeps the feed in sync with your real store data.
How often does the feed update?
On whatever schedule the channel and your catalog need — from a few times a day to hourly for fast-moving stock. We add alerting so a failed refresh doesn't silently leave a stale feed live.
