How to manage your feed (include specific collections/products, schedule submit frequency)
Each feed now has its own Settings section, allowing you to customize configurations for each feed independently. This is an improvement from the previous version, offering enhanced control over feed management. The Settings tab consists of three sections:
- Account Information
- Feed Info
- Product Source Filtering
This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to configure these settings effectively.
Account Information
Feed Info
- Hourly Feed Submission
- Daily Feed Submission
- Weekly Feed Submission
Product Source Filtering
- Include Collections Manually
- Include Specific Products
- Include Products by Rule
In this section, you can view and manage your connected accounts, such as:
- Google Merchant Center
- Facebook Catalog
- Facebook Shop & Page Shop
Additionally, you can directly access your feed or catalog from this section.
This section allows you to manage your Feed URL and schedule automatic submissions. Keeping your feed updated ensures data accuracy and optimization. The scheduling options include:
Hourly Feed Submission

- Choose a starting time
- Select the appropriate time zone
Example: Setting Every 6 hours, starting at 1:30 AM, in the (GMT -6:00) Central America time zone means the feed will submit at 1:30 AM, 7:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and so on.
