Export XML feeds
If you are using the module for PrestaShop or WooCommerce version 3 or higher, no special settings are needed. A simple wizard will guide you through generating the feed.
If you are using an older version or OpenCart module, follow the instructions:
- 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
Yes.
The WooCommerce plugin generates SKU values in the <PRODUCTNO> element.
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.
Check Export Settings
Go to Export Settings (Sprocket tab) and check if you have the correct export settings checked according to visibility. By default, products are listed in Public visibility and in the catalog Shop and search results.
Delete and re-generate feed
- First try to delete the feed and re-generate it manually. 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 on the Support page or via email wordpress@mergado.cz.

To protect emails sent from your domain, add the following entry to your SPF record: _emailing.glami.cz
Example: if your domain has an SPF record of the form v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 ‑all, then the modified version will be v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 include:_emailing.glami.cz ‑all
All outgoing emails from GLAMI are signed with the DKIM key. Create a subdomain glami-review._domainkey to your domain with a DNS CNAME record pointing to partner-review._domainkey.glami.cz
Some hosting providers require a period at the end of the record. Example: glami-review._domainkey.glami.cz.
You can verify the correct email settings in the partner administration in the GLAMI TOP -> Settings tab, where you will see the SPF and DKIM status, marked as “Verified” in case of correct settings and “Unverified” in case of error.
If you are not sure how to complete these steps, contact your webmaster.
In order to successfully set up the email sending system, you need to complete two steps:
- In the GLAMI partner administration, under GLAMI TOP -> Settings, set up an email from which GLAMI will send customer emails with the questionnaire. This email should have the same domain as your e‑shop. For example, www.shop.cz will have the email reviews@shop.cz.
- Change the DNS settings for your site’s domain (this is the same domain you used to send the emails from step 1) as instructed below. This setting is important so that emails end up in your customers inbox and not in their SPAM folder.
Your piXel API key can be found in the GLAMI administration > GLAMI piXel page > Glami piXel implementation guide for developers. On the page, scroll down to the Glami piXel code for YOUR WEBSITE section.
Your piXel API key can be found in the GLAMI administration > GLAMI TOP page > Implementation guide for developers. On the page, scroll down to section C) Integration with Javascript (programmer needed).
Árukereső
Árukereső sends emails on behalf of your email address used during registration. To send emails correctly, it is advisable to set up Sender Policy Framework (SPF) on your domain. Some email servers may verify the origin of the sender and your review requests could end up in SPAM.
Árukereső recommends adding an SPF record to your domain’s DNS TXT for their server ‘_spf‑c.arukereso.hu’.
If for some reason you are unable to edit the DNS SPF records, Árukereső recommends that you notify info@arukereso.hu. Emails with questionnaires will be sent from megbizhatobolt@arukereso.hu.
