Product export

For the functionality of the plugin it's essential to export the product data from the shop to Findologic. For this purpose, the Findologic export library libflexport is included.

By default the export contains only demo product data, it's necessary to export the actual product data with the help of libflexport.

The export is triggerred by the plugin-oxid-di module and calls 

FindologicExport::startExport

Please use this example and modify it to your needs. The library provides you with the functionality to export XML according to the xml export documentation. The exported XML will be validated against a predefined XSD Schema.

Run export

https://<SHOP_URL>/<EXPORT_PATH>?shopkey=<SHOPKEY>&start=<NUMBER>&count=<NUMBER>
  • shopkey: <SHOPKEY> provided by Findologic
  • start: <NUMBER> that should not be lower than zero
  • count: <NUMBER> that should not be lower than zero

This export url has to be set in the Findologic Account Settings, see documentation.

The generated XML is validated against our predefined XSD scheme and built with our export library libflexport.

If you have troubles with the export please contact us at support@findologic.com.
