XML Feed Guide - DrFeedy

An XML feed (product data feed) is a structured data file that contains all product information from an e-commerce store in XML format. Product name, price, stock status, image URL, category, brand, and GTIN are organized under standardized tags. Advertising platforms like Google Shopping, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), and TikTok Shop read this file to automatically list your products.

Feed quality directly impacts advertising performance. Feeds with missing or incorrect data result in low impressions, rejected products, and wasted ad budget. A professional feed management tool optimizes your data for each platform, eliminating these issues.
