Description

BalticXML is a lightweight WooCommerce extension that exports your product catalogue as XML feeds compatible with three Latvian price comparison engines:

salidzini.lv – official spec
kurpirkt.lv – official spec
ceno.lv – official spec

All three feeds are generated and served from the same plugin at separate URLs, for example:

https://yoursite.com/salidzini-feed.xml
https://yoursite.com/kurpirkt-feed.xml
https://yoursite.com/ceno-feed.xml

Each feed is cached on disk for fast delivery and regenerated automatically via WP-Cron.

Features

Three independent XML feeds (salidzini.lv, kurpirkt.lv, ceno.lv) at their own URLs
Per-format cache files and a single shared WP-Cron schedule
Manual “Regenerate Feed Now” button rebuilds all feeds at once
Includes simple, variable (per-variation) and external products
Full category breadcrumb path (Parent > Child > Subchild)
Automatic brand / manufacturer detection from common taxonomies and attributes
Automatic EAN/GTIN detection from common meta keys
Out-of-stock filter
Customizable feed slug per portal
HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible
Translation ready

FAQ

What URLs do I submit?

Each portal has its own URL, all shown on the BalticXML settings page:

salidzini.lv -> https://yoursite.com/salidzini-feed.xml (default)
kurpirkt.lv -> https://yoursite.com/kurpirkt-feed.xml (default)
ceno.lv -> https://yoursite.com/ceno-feed.xml (default; email it to info@ceno.lv after configuring)

All slugs are configurable.

How often are the feeds updated?

All feeds are regenerated together on the same WP-Cron schedule. Default is daily; you can change it (hourly, every 6 hours, twice daily, daily, or disabled) in BalticXML settings.

Are out-of-stock products included?

By default they are excluded from all feeds. You can change this in BalticXML settings.

Are product variations included?

Yes – by default each variation is exported as a separate item in every feed, with the variation attributes appended to the name. You can disable this in settings.

How is the brand / manufacturer detected?

The plugin checks the product_brand, pwb-brand and pa_brand taxonomies, and the brand product attribute, in that order. The same source feeds <brand> (salidzini.lv) and <manufacturer> (kurpirkt.lv, ceno.lv).

How is the EAN/GTIN detected?

The plugin checks the meta keys _ean, _gtin, _global_unique_id, _wc_gla_gtin and the ean product attribute. (Used by salidzini.lv and ceno.lv. kurpirkt.lv does not require this field.)

How do I set the salidzini.lv-specific fields (`model`, `color`, `mpn`, `adult`, `over_the_counter_medicine`)?

Use the matching product attributes (model, color/colour, mpn, adult, over_the_counter_medicine) or the corresponding meta keys (_model, _color, _mpn, _adult, _over_the_counter_medicine / _otc). They are all optional – emitted only when set.

How do I set the kurpirkt.lv-specific fields (`delivery_cost_riga`, `used`)?

delivery_cost_riga – set the meta key _delivery_cost_riga or add a delivery_cost_riga product attribute (numeric).
used – set the meta key _used to 1 or add a used product attribute set to 1 / yes / true.

How do I set the ceno.lv delivery and used fields?

For each delivery field, set either a meta key prefixed with _ or a product attribute (without the prefix):

delivery_cost_riga, delivery_latvija – max delivery cost in Riga / Latvia (decimal)
delivery_latvijas_pasts, delivery_dpd_paku_bode, delivery_pasta_stacija, delivery_omniva, delivery_circlek, delivery_venipak – per-carrier delivery cost (decimal)
delivery_days_riga, delivery_days_latvija – max delivery days in Riga / Latvia (integer)
used – set to 1 for used / refurbished products

All ceno.lv fields are optional – they are emitted only when a numeric/non-empty value is configured.

Is it translation ready?

Yes. Text domain is balticxml.
