Yes, the module needs to be configured to work properly. Setup for exports is done in 3 easy steps:
- on the first tab of the module “Settings” choose in which language version and currency you want to generate the XML feed (or multiple feeds). Typical example: “czech + CZK”, “slovak + EUR”, etc. (Valid for PrestaShop and OpenCart).
- On the “Cron Tasks” tab, links for generating XML feeds will be available. For one-time generation, just click on these links and the feed will be generated (or re-generated if it already exists).

Export XML feeds
- First, go to the Settings tab. If you have a large number of products or problems with feed generation in general, choose a limit in Settings and the product exports will be generated in batches.
Batch export settings - For WooCommerce only - If you use multiple tax rates at the same time (e.g. for different countries) select which rate will be used in the XML feed.
Setting the tax rate in the feed - In the second menu item, you set up Cron tasks. Here you will find a list of Cron URLs that you can copy and paste into the task scheduler.
More about cron jobs in our article.To generate a feed for the first time, you must first click the “Manually generate a feed” button (PrestaShop).
For WooCommerce only - You can also use the internal WP cron and set up feed re-generation directly in the Mergado Pack administration. - Then in the XML feeds tab you will find a list of feeds generated at least once. On this page you can further work with the feeds, delete them, copy them and use them in Mergado Editor, download them or check the progress of the generation.
List of generated feeds
Cron is simply an automatic task launcher, so it can, for example, start generating an product XML feed from your e‑shop at regular times. Cron can be set up at your web hosting. About cron settings, it is necessary to log in to the administration of your web hosting and find the cron settings there, or contact your web host for more information.
More about cron in our article.
- First try to delete the feed and manually generate it again. If the problem persists, try repeating the process several times.
- If the error persists, please contact us using the contact form in the plugin administration or contact form on the Support page or email wordpress@mergado.com. Please attach as much information as possible to your email. Your CMS version, PHP version, Mergado Pack module version and other information that will help us determine the cause of the error.
Yes, the export generates the number of items in stock in the element <STOCK_QUANTITY>.
Gradual regeneration of exports brings important improvements in their creation. With a large amount of data, problems arose and in some cases the whole process ended in failure. Our Mergado Pack therefore offers the option of choosing the number of products that will be generated in one step. And thanks to the limit, only the number of items that the user chooses is subsequently created. This speeds up the process, stabilizes it and reduces the risk of it falling.
In practice, this means that the feed is generated in partial files, which are merged after this process and create a complete XML feed.
