Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds for Magento 2 & 1
The Internet is full of various shopping engines and marketplaces, where you can find lots of new customers and significantly increase sales. But there is one obstacle on your way onward new sales channels – it is necessary to create a comprehensive product feed. Although it is possible to master new platforms manually, we don’t recommend to choose this approach, since it is time-consuming. Instead, you can utilize the Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds Magento extension, which is available for both 1.x and 2.x.
The module is fast and flexible, supports Google Analytics integration (so you can freely measure your campaign results), and provides over 50 ready-made configurations. Below, we describe how this tool works.

Speed and Flexibility
With the Data Feed Manager Magento 2 extension, you will not only get your product feed at lightning speed but also be able to customize all of its possible aspects. The module incorporates several convenient forms that let you tick the options you need, setting up your product feed. You can switch between forms using the Feed Information block on the left of the feed template edit screen. The available sections are:
- Feed Information (core feed data);
- Content Settings (you set a fields delimiter, choose a fields enclosure, decide whether to include columns header or not, add an extra header if necessary, and work with column names and attributes here);
- Filters (tick Base Product Filter, Extended Filter, or both);
- Google Analytics (settings for integration with Google Analytics);
- Scheduled Task (create a schedule for your product feeds here);
- FTP Settings (all necessary FTP settings);
- Additional (this section lets you set up email notifications and reports);
- History (log of all actions with existing product feeds).

Furthermore, Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds for Magento 2 and 1 supports category mapping and dynamic attributes that help to make your routine job even more seamless.

Core Features
Now, let’s describe each core feature of the Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds Magento extension.
Predefined Templates
The creators of the Google shopping feed Magento 2 module claim that you can generate your first feed in just two clicks. It is entirely true, but only if you use predefined templates that have preconfigured options required by shopping engines. Templates can be utilized immediately after you’ve installed the extension, so it is the fastest way to get what you want.
Note that you can create new templates as well as import existing ones. Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds for Magento 2 and 1 provides templates for the following platforms:
- Google Shopping
- eBay
- Amazon
- Bing
- PriceGrabber
- Idealo
- Shopping.com
- ShopMania
- Twenga
- Shopzilla
- and more
You can find other templates in the extension backend.
Export Settings
The extension lets you export product data to feed in any format. To achieve this goal, you can streamline the library of patterns. Besides, there is an opportunity to customize the existing feeds. Note that the module utilizes pattern principle, so you can freely use codes of attributes, links to parent products, formatters, base PHP functions, or calculations to make your product feed more advanced and visible on shopping platforms.
Advanced Customization With Patterns
As for advanced customization, they are available via various patterns. The most frequently used ones show particular product values and are related to parent, grouped, or bundle products. With their help, you can easily return the value of a parent product or export simple products with the ‘Not Visible Individually’ attribute (a link to the parent product is used instead of an individual link to each product in this situation). Besides, it is also possible to bind all child product values within one string. Note that this approach can be implemented in case of grouped and bundle products only. Furthermore, you may use attributes to return the name of the most nested category for a product assigned to several categories at different levels. In case of the same level assignment, Advanced Product Feeds selects a category with the lowest product position.
Besides the mentioned above examples, we also want to note patterns that can be used for leveraging calculations. The most obvious example is related to price coefficients. Thus, you can easily increase the price of your products in the feed by multiplying it on any coefficient. Another use case is associated with shipping: the Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds extension lets you set up free delivery for products with any product price. Besides, you can manage the quantity of products in stock, return daily propositions, as well as set prices for groups of products.
Filter Settings
Mirasvit Advanced Product Feeds for Magento 2 and 1 offers lots of flexible filter settings, so you can effortlessly customize all your product feed according to the requirements of both external platforms and your business. As mentioned above, there are two filter types available with the extension: Product Filters (Base Product Filter) and Performance Filters (Extended Filter).
Base Product Filter
Base Product Filter allows you to filter products by such parameters as price, parent category, SKU, and other attributes. Besides, it can be used to hide not-in-stock products and hide products without images.
Extended Filter
This filter provides more advanced filtering options. It provides you with the ability to create product feeds on the basis of Clicks, Conversion Rate, Orders, Revenue, and other performance parameters.
Mirasvit recommends to utilize the extended filter in the following way:
- Find out products with a low Conversion Rate for the last several weeks (it should be less than 1%). As a result, you will know which low-conversion goods are available on your ecommerce storefront. Then, you can try to boost their sales with the help of shopping engines or different marketing tactics.
- Find out goods with a high number of Clicks, for instance, more than 50 within the last week. Then, you can sell them as popular products, drawing customers’ attention even more. The same is about products with a high number of Orders.
- Discover products with low revenue, for instance, less than $100 within the last month, and drive more sales for them.
