Um einen XML Product Feed in Shopify zu erstellen, kann die im folgenden beschriebene Vorgehensweise genutzt werden. Alternativ können hierfür auch spezielle (jedoch i.d.R. kostenpflichtige) Shopify-Plugins zum Einsatz kommen.

Kurzbeschreibung des Vorgehens:

  1. Erstellen eines speziellen Collection-Themes
  2. Erstellen einer neuen Produktkategorie
  3. Abrufen des XML Product Feeds

1. Erstellen einer Collection-Theme

Mittels eines speziellen Themes ermöglichen wir die Ausgabe der Produktdaten in der gewünschten XML-Struktur. Für die Erstellung einer neuen Collection sind folgende Schritte notwendig:

a) Im Shopify-Menü „Onlineshop“ —> „Themes“ —> „Code bearbeiten“ klicken

b) In „Templates“ —> „Ein neues Template hinzufügen“

c) Vorlage für „collection“ names „xml-product-feed“ erstellen

In das unter c) erstellte Collection-Template wird nun folgender Code hinzugefügt. Wichtig ist, dass vor und nach dem Code keine Leerzeilen enthalten sind.
