FeedCraft is a high-performance solution for generating standards-compliant product feeds (XML & JSON) via the WordPress REST API. Designed specifically for Google Merchant Center, marketplaces, and advanced analytics, it bridges the gap between your WooCommerce catalog and global shopping engines.
Key Features:
- ⚡ Performance-First Architecture: Built to handle large catalogs with a configurable memory-limit warning and real-time REST API delivery—no more broken static files.
- 🛠 Advanced Product Mapping: Adds dedicated fields for GTIN (EAN/UPC), MPN, Brand, Color, and Google Product Category.
- 👗 Apparel Ready: Full support for Age Group and Gender, configurable at both the product and individual variation level.
- 🔄 Smart Variable Support: Automatically links variations using
item_group_idand inherits parent data where appropriate to save you time. - 🎨 Dynamic Attribute Mapping: Map your existing WooCommerce attributes (like ‚Color‘ or ‚Size‘) to standard feed fields in seconds.
- 🌍 Two Essential Formats:
- XML: Fully optimized for Google Merchant Center and major marketplaces.
- JSON: Perfect for custom integrations, mobile apps, and third-party tools.
- 🔍 Intelligent Logic: Automatic generation of full category paths (
product_type) and an optional filter to exclude products missing images.

Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to your
/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install via the WordPress plugin installer. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Ensure WooCommerce is active and that your Settings > Permalinks are NOT set to „Plain“ (REST API requires pretty permalinks).
- Navigate to WooCommerce > Product Feeds to configure default settings, map your attributes, and find your unique feed URLs.
- Edit your products: You will find the new fields (GTIN, MPN, Brand, etc.) under the General tab for simple products and within the Variation editor for variable products.
- Access your feed: Copy the URLs from the settings page to see your live data:
- XML Feed:
.../wp-json/feedcraft-product-feed/v1/xml - JSON Feed:
.../wp-json/feedcraft-product-feed/v1/json
- XML Feed:
- Connect to Google: Submit the XML feed URL in your Google Merchant Center (under Feeds > Add Primary Feed) to start syncing your products.
FAQ
-
Where do I configure the plugin?
-
The settings page is located under WooCommerce > Product Feeds. Here you can set global defaults, map color/size attributes, and copy your live feed URLs.
-
Do I need to set Age Group and Gender for every product?
-
No. FeedCraft uses the smart defaults you configure on the settings page. You only need to edit individual products if they differ from your store-wide settings.
-
What if a product has no image?
-
Google requires images for most products. By default, the plugin skips products without images to keep your Merchant Center healthy. You can disable this check in the settings if needed.
-
How are variation colors and sizes handled?
-
The plugin first checks the dedicated „Color“ field. If empty, it automatically pulls from the attributes you’ve mapped (e.g.,
pa_colororpa_size). -
Is the feed updated automatically?
-
Yes. Because it uses the REST API, the feed is always live. When you update a product in WooCommerce, the change is reflected in the feed immediately.
-
Why is my feed URL showing a 404 error?
-
This usually happens if your WordPress Permalinks are set to „Plain“. Please go to Settings > Permalinks and select „Post name“ or any other option besides Plain.
