Skroutz feed (Greece)

Thank you for the excellent plugin.
I use it to create – among others – a skroutz feed. I use product variations and I have set feed option “Include product variations” to ON and “Only include default product variation” to OFF.
The variations are created nicely but the parent variable product is also added to the feed. This is something Skroutz doesn’t like and it complains. The relevant info you present at https://adtribes.io/creating-woocommerce-product-feed-skroutz/ seems to be outdated: the truth is that skroutz asks for the separate variable products and NOT for the parent one.
Could you possibly check?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us. Are you absolutely sure this is the case? We have made changes to our plugin only a couple of months ago so it would add the simple products AND specifically the parent products on request of Skroutz.

Could you point us to their feed-requirements or email from their support that the parent products are not allowed?

Here is a screenshot from our skroutz dashboard:

I translate: “For every different colour/design that the product is available you have to submit different product records.” I have already sumbmitted the variable products, this error message is about the parent product that is not needed by skroutz.

Here is a link to skroutz XML documentarion:
https://developer.skroutz.gr/feedspec/#color
“In case multiple colors for a given model exist, they should be submitted as different products with separate Unique IDs.”

What you describe at https://adtribes.io/creating-woocommerce-product-feed-skroutz/ is true only in the case of size variations. See the different documentation in this case: https://developer.skroutz.gr/feedspec/#size

I think it is clear.
Thank you.

Hello,
It seems the thread has been forgotten.
If Skroutz policy about variable products is not so clear, it would be nice to have an option to keep parents of variable products or not.
Could you consider it?
At the moment, we have to deal with dozens of Skroutz warnings about unnecessary parent products in our XML.

Hello,
Problem solved by commenting out a line of code at:
woo-product-feed-pro/classes/class-get-products.php
line 3206 (version 8.7):

// For these channels parent products are allowed
$allowed_channel_parents = array(
// “skroutz”, // comment out to remove parent product
“google_dsa”,
“google_product_review”,
);

Of course, whenever you update the plugin the above change may be lost.
