Scientific AI Product Feed

Description

Scientific AI Product Feed creates a Google Merchant Center compatible RSS 2.0 XML product feed directly from your WooCommerce catalog.

Free features:

  • One Google Merchant Center XML feed.
  • No artificial product-count quota.
  • Simple products and product variations.
  • Automatic price and stock updates through feed cache invalidation.
  • Daily automatic feed regeneration with WP-Cron.
  • Manual “Generate Feed Now” button.
  • Export all product categories or one selected category.
  • Option to include or exclude out-of-stock products.
  • Product ID, title, description, link, image, availability, price and condition.
  • Sale price when applicable.
  • Manufacturer part number (MPN) from explicit product metadata when available.
  • WooCommerce Global Unique ID as GTIN when available.
  • WooCommerce product brand when available.
  • Merchant Readiness Check for missing images, prices, brand and product identifiers.
  • Direct edit links for products that need attention.

The feed URL is shown in WordPress Admin under Scientific AI > Product Feed. Add that URL as a scheduled data source in Google Merchant Center.

Scientific AI Product Feed does not send product data to Scientific AI Ltd. Google Merchant Center only receives the feed if you choose to add the feed URL to your Merchant Center account.

FAQ

Does this plugin require WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active.

Does the free version support variable products?

Yes. Published variations are exported as individual items with an item group ID.

How often does the feed update?

The plugin clears its cached feed when WooCommerce products or variations are updated and also regenerates the feed daily with WP-Cron. You can regenerate it manually at any time.

Why was a product skipped?

The plugin skips grouped products, excluded out-of-stock products, and products that do not have a valid price or main image.

How does the plugin handle MPN values?

The Free plugin does not automatically use a store-specific WooCommerce SKU as a manufacturer part number. It reads explicit MPN values from common product meta keys (_mpn, mpn, _manufacturer_part_number, or manufacturer_part_number). Developers can also provide a verified manufacturer part number with the sai_pf_product_mpn filter. If no verified MPN exists, the attribute is left out of the feed.

Is product data sent to Scientific AI Ltd?

No. The plugin generates the feed on your own WordPress site.

Changelog

1.0.11

  • Adds the required translators comment for the translatable feed title placeholder to satisfy WordPress internationalization checks.

1.0.10

  • Stops treating an internal WooCommerce SKU as a manufacturer part number (MPN); MPN is now read only from explicit product metadata or the documented developer filter.
  • Allows WooCommerce managers who can access Product Feed to save its settings through the WordPress Settings API.
  • Uses WordPress esc_xml() for XML text escaping.

1.0.9

  • Clears cached feed and Merchant Readiness results once after plugin updates so old diagnostics do not remain after a ZIP replacement.
  • Clarifies that Product Feed Pro feed-only warning fixes do not modify the standard Free feed or the underlying WooCommerce product data.
  • Removed automatic identifier_exists=no output when identifiers are merely missing; the Free plugin no longer assumes a product has no assigned identifiers.

1.0.8

  • Removed plugin credit text from the public XML feed output.
  • Improved admin accessibility for decorative icons and links that open new tabs.
  • Localized the Copy URL confirmation text and remaining dashboard labels.
