BalticXML creates WooCommerce product feeds for price comparison sites in Latvia and Lithuania. Choose the sites you use, save your settings, and submit each site's XML feed URL.<\/p>\n\n
Each site gets its own feed in the format it needs. BalticXML uses your existing product information, including prices, images, categories, brands and barcodes.<\/p>\n\n
Open BalticXML<\/strong> in your WordPress admin, choose Latvia or Lithuania, enable the feeds you need, and save. Copy each feed URL and submit it to the corresponding price comparison site. Set your update schedule and other shared options on the General<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n Use the BalticXML - Feed readiness<\/strong> panel when editing products to check whether their information is complete for your enabled feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n Copy the URL shown beside each enabled feed in BalticXML settings. Each site has its own URL, for example For cached feeds, choose hourly, every six hours, twice daily or daily updates on the General<\/strong> tab. You can also disable scheduled updates and regenerate manually. Scheduled updates use WordPress cron and depend on your site's cron setup and traffic.<\/p>\n\n With caching disabled, the plugin generates fresh XML whenever a feed URL is requested.<\/p><\/dd>\n They are excluded by default. You can change this on the General<\/strong> tab.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Each variation can be exported as a separate offer. You can change this on the General<\/strong> tab.<\/p><\/dd>\n Assign the product's brand in Brands<\/strong>, if available. You can also add an attribute named BalticXML checks the Yes. Add its exact taxonomy key through the add_filter('balticxml_brand_taxonomies', function ($taxonomies) {\n $taxonomies[] = 'pa_custom_brand';<\/p>\n\n });\n `<\/p>\n\n The filter receives the ordered taxonomy list, the product or parent currently being checked, and the feed format key. Appending a key preserves the priority of existing brand taxonomies. The filter applies to feed generation, validation and product readiness checks.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The This example checks a custom metadata key on the product and then its parent. Replace add_filter('balticxml_manufacturer_fallback', function ($manufacturer, $product, $parent, $format) {\n if (trim($manufacturer) !== '') {\n return $manufacturer;\n }<\/p>\n\n }, 10, 4);\n `<\/p>\n\n Only return the real manufacturer. An empty result keeps missing-data reporting in place. This filter also applies to validation and product readiness checks. After changing either brand filter, use Regenerate Feed Now<\/strong> when caching is enabled to update existing cached XML.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default, BalticXML uses the deepest assigned product category. If multiple categories have the same depth, it uses the first one. Use the add_filter('balticxml_category_term_id', function ($term_id, $product_id) {\n if ($product_id === 123) {\n return 45;\n }<\/p>\n\n }, 10, 2);\n `<\/p>\n\n Replace The filter applies to all six feeds, validation and product readiness checks. Category names, full hierarchies, IDs and links follow the selected category in each site's supported format. An optional third argument, Add an attribute named For barcodes, use the GTIN\/EAN field under Product data > Inventory<\/strong>, if available, a supported barcode plugin, or a product attribute named Open the product editor and find BalticXML - Feed readiness<\/strong>. Red indicators show missing required data, yellow indicators show recommended improvements, and green indicators show completed checks. Each missing field includes instructions for adding it. You can collapse each feed's messages.<\/p>\n\n Save or update the product to refresh the checks. Feed settings also list products excluded because required information is missing or invalid. Missing recommended fields do not prevent export.<\/p><\/dd>\n BalticXML provides the XML feed URLs. Submit each URL to the corresponding site and follow its shop registration process.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active to export products.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nAutomatic Installation<\/h4>\n\n
