## Steps

1. **Paste your XML feed URL** Install the app from the Shopify App Store, open Settings and paste the HTTPS link to your supplier's XML feed.
2. **Preview and import** The app detects the feed layout, shows the products it found and imports them in the background with variants, images, prices and stock. Follow the progress bar in the app.
3. **Stay in sync** Turn on price and stock updates. The app re-reads the feed on your plan's schedule, updates what changed and imports new products as they appear.

## Benefits

1. **Any XML layout** Generic product XML, Google Merchant style feeds, RSS and Atom catalogues. The app fingerprints the structure and maps titles, SKUs, prices, stock, images and options without a mapping screen.
2. **Variants and images** Sizes and colours become Shopify variants with their own SKU, barcode, price and quantity. Variant images are attached where the feed provides them.
3. **Automatic price and stock sync** Choose 1, 3 or 8 updates a day. Prices, compare-at prices and inventory follow the feed, and products that leave the feed are set to zero stock instead of being deleted.
4. **Pricing rules** Apply a price multiplier for your margin and a compare-at multiplier for strikethrough pricing. Mark products taxable or not per feed.
5. **Multiple suppliers, one store** Connect up to seven feeds, each with its own settings and schedule. Ideal for dropshipping and wholesale stores that sell from several catalogues.
6. **Safe by default** A run that returns no products, or far fewer than the last successful run, is cancelled. Re-imports update existing products instead of creating duplicates.

## FAQ

### Which XML feeds can I import into Shopify with this app?

Any product XML served over HTTP or HTTPS: generic supplier feeds, Google Merchant Center style XML, RSS and Atom catalogues. The app has connected feeds from more than 190 supplier domains. CSV, JSON and spreadsheets are not supported.

### Do I have to map the XML fields myself?

No. The app inspects the feed and detects titles, descriptions, SKUs, barcodes, prices, compare-at prices, quantities, images, brands, categories and variant options. Unusual layouts are configured by our team.

### How often are prices and stock synchronised?

Once a day on Basic, three times a day on Professional and up to eight times a day on Enterprise and multi-feed plans. Starter is import only.

### Can I add my own margin to the supplier prices?

Yes. Every feed has a price multiplier and a compare-at multiplier. A multiplier of 1.4 sells a product listed at 100 in the feed for 140.

### What happens when a product disappears from the feed?

Its stock is set to zero so it stops selling. Nothing is deleted, and the product comes back when it reappears in the feed.

### Is there setup help?

Yes. Live chat inside the app and e-mail support are included on every plan. Share your feed link and we check it before your first import.
