How do i create a product feed for Publisher?

To provide a product-feed for Publisher you need to publish your data in an XML format, while adhering to a few simple rules

1. 📂 File Format

Format: XML (UTF-8 encoded)
Style: One-level structure (no nested nodes)
Unlimited items: But limited by your import quota

✅ Follows similar format as Google or Meta product feeds

2. 🧱 Feed Structure

Use this base structure:

xml

KopiérRediger

<products>
  <product>
    <id>1</id>
    <title>Bahamas Lounge Set</title>
    <price>9999</price>
    <sale_price>8000</sale_price>
    <external_link>https://www.aviou.io/</external_link>
    <image_url>https://.../bahamas.png</image_url>
    <description>Enjoy lazy summer evenings...</description>
    <brand>Keter</brand>
  </product>
</products>

✅ Every field is imported as-is
⚠️ Nested elements will be ignored

3. 📋 Recommended Fields

Only <id> is required, but for best results include:

Field	Notes
`id`	(Required) Unique product ID
`title`	Name or label
`external_link`	URL to product page
`image_url`	Direct image link
`price`	Use numbers with comma decimals (e.g. `49,95`)
`sale_price`	Before/after price lets AVIOU auto-calculate savings
`description`	Rich product description
`brand`	Brand name
`stock` / `soldout`	Show availability

📝 You can map your own field names to AVIOU’s in feed settings

4. 🎨 Product Variants

Each variant (size, color, etc.) must be its own <product>
Add shared <item_group_id> to group variants

xml

<item_group_id>1234</item_group_id>

🧩 Enables AVIOU’s built-in variant selector

5. ⚠️ Error Handling

Fix issues directly in the feed and re-upload

6. 🔁 Update Frequency

Choose up to 12 daily intervals
Or provide a feed with Update URL for automatic syncing

7. 📎 Example Feeds
