Products Feed for PrestaShop

Products Feed logo

Products Feed in the PrestaShop Module Manager — Configure button and module description

Products Feed exports your PrestaShop catalog as a structured data feed that advertising platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping can read and sync. Instead of manually uploading CSVs or maintaining a spreadsheet, the module generates an always-current feed URL that platforms can pull on a schedule — keeping your ads and shopping listings accurate as your inventory changes.

What You Can Do​

  • Generate product feeds compatible with Facebook / Instagram catalogs and Google Merchant Center
  • Export all product combinations and variants with their own images, prices, and attributes
  • Support multiple languages and currencies so you can run separate catalogs for different markets
  • Schedule automatic feed regeneration with a cron job so platforms always get fresh data
  • Use the feed URL directly in Facebook Commerce Manager or Google Merchant Center — no file uploads needed

Getting Started​

  1. Go to Modules > Module Manager, find Products Feed, and click Configure
  2. Review and adjust which products and attributes are included in the feed
  3. Copy the generated feed URL from the module configuration page
  4. Follow the catalog setup guide to connect the feed to Facebook Commerce Manager
  5. Set up a cron job to regenerate the feed regularly (daily is recommended for most stores)

📚 Available Guides​

Getting Started​

  • Onboarding Walkthrough — The Step-by-step guide panel walks you through every action needed to go from a fresh module install to live Facebook and Instagram ads, so you never have to guess what to do next.
  • Dashboard Fast View — The Dashboard – Fast View gives you an at-a-glance snapshot of your feed's health every time you open the module.
  • Facebook Catalog Setup — Step-by-step guide to create a Facebook product catalog using your PrestaShop feed.
  • Google Merchant Center — Submit the product feed this module generates to Google Merchant Center using GMC's scheduled-fetch mechanism, so Google Shopping and Performance Max campaigns always see your current inventory and prices.

Feed Generation​

  • Cron Jobs — Automatic Generation — Cron Jobs.
  • Cycle Generation — Cycle mode splits your product catalogue into fixed-size batches so that feed generation completes reliably even on shared hosting with tight PHP time limits.
  • Manual Generation — Manual Feed Generation.
  • Generation Options — Control the XML output format of your product feed and configure how the module triggers background feed generation via cURL — including timeout, SSL, and cache randomization settings.

Products & Catalog​

  • Combinations — Control how product combinations (size, colour, material variants) appear in your Facebook catalogue — as individual variant entries, as a single representative product, or as a plain simple product.
  • Category Inclusion/Exclusion — Control which of your store's categories appear in the Facebook and Instagram product catalogue feed — either by blocking specific categories or by allowing only the ones you select.
  • Product Exclusions — Keep specific products out of your Facebook and Instagram catalogue feed without unpublishing them from your store or changing their category.
  • Identifier & Description — Control which value your feed uses as each product's unique ID and which text field Facebook receives as its description.
  • Product Special Fields — Product Special Fields (Size, Color, Material Mapping).

Pricing & Shipping​

  • Pricing, Tax & Stock — Controls how prices appear in your product catalogue feed — whether taxes are included, how discounts are presented, and which products appear based on stock availability.
  • Shipping Carriers — Add accurate delivery costs to every product in your Facebook and Instagram catalogue feed so shoppers see the real price before they click through to your store.
  • Per-country Shipping Modes — For every country in your PrestaShop shipping zones, you choose exactly how its shipping prices appear in the feed: skip the country entirely, publish one line for the whole country, or expand into a separate line per state or region.
  • Shop Checkout URL — When a customer clicks Buy on your Facebook or Instagram Shop, the module automatically fills their PrestaShop cart and redirects them to your checkout — no extra configuration required beyond pasting one URL into Meta Commerce Manager.
  • Image Options — Control which image size, how many images, and in what order your products appear in the Facebook and Instagram catalogue feed.

Google Shopping​

  • Category Association — Map your store's categories to Google's official product taxonomy and assign age group and gender signals per category — so Facebook and Instagram can correctly classify and surface your products to the right audiences.
  • Taxonomy Download — Before you can assign Google Product Categories to your shop categories, you must download the official Google taxonomy list.
  • Custom Labels Overview — Custom labels let you attach extra product data to your catalogue feed so you can create targeted ad sets and apply dynamic overlays inside Facebook and Instagram Ads Manager.
  • New & On-sale Labels — Automatically tag products in your feed as "new", "on sale", or "recently updated" so Meta's catalogue can surface them in targeted ad segments.
  • Bestsellers & Trending — Tag your best-selling and trend-rising products automatically in your catalogue feed so Facebook and Instagram can use that data to create targeted product sets and ad overlays.

Advanced & Operations​

  • Feed Generation per Shop — Feed Generation per Shop — Languages, Currencies & Countries.
  • Feed Protection (Basic Auth) — Protect your product feed XML files with a username and password so that only authorised crawlers — like Facebook's Catalog Manager — can download them.
  • Secret Key & Generator Auth — The module uses two separate protection mechanisms — a secret key that gates who can trigger feed generation, and HTTP Basic Auth credentials that let the generator pass through a server-level password on your site.
  • Error Bypass & Auto-fill — These settings let you keep products in your feed even when they are missing required fields — instead of excluding them, the module fills in defaults or relaxes the validation rules.

Troubleshooting​

  • Debugging Tools — Limit or focus feed generation during troubleshooting — cap total product count or restrict generation to specific product IDs — without touching your live cron schedule or production configuration.
  • Skipped & Error Diagnostics — After each feed generation, the module shows you exactly which products were left out and why — so you can fix catalog issues before they affect your Facebook or Instagram campaigns.
  • FAQ — Answers to the most common questions about the Facebook & Instagram Product Catalogue Feed Pro module — covering feed URLs, missing products, image problems, category filtering, multistore, pricing, cron setup, and more.
