With CTX Feed, creating a Google Shopping feed takes just 3 clicks:

2. Configure your product attributes (pre-filled automatically)
3. Click "Generate Feed"

The plugin automatically maps your WooCommerce product data to all Google required attributes including title, description, price, availability, GTIN, brand, and image links.

= How do I fix "Missing Required Attribute" errors in Google Merchant Center? =

CTX Feed's **Category Mapping** tool instantly links your WooCommerce categories to Google's official taxonomy. For missing attributes like brand or GTIN, use our **Attribute Mapping** feature to:
- Pull data from custom fields or ACF
- Use Yoast SEO or Rank Math data
- Set static values for your entire catalog
- Create dynamic attributes based on conditions

= Can CTX Feed handle large stores with 50,000+ products? =

Absolutely! Unlike plugins that timeout, CTX Feed uses **intelligent batch processing**. Adjust the "Products Per Batch" setting (recommended: 200-500 products) to match your server capacity. This prevents memory limit errors and ensures 100% feed completion for massive catalogs.

= Is CTX Feed ready for Google's March 2026 multi-channel product requirements? =

Yes. CTX Feed fully supports Google's new requirement for separate product IDs when online and in-store attributes differ (price, availability, condition). Our **Local Inventory Ads template** helps you generate compliant feeds with unique identifiers for multi-channel products.

= How do I create a Facebook/Instagram product catalog feed? =

Select the "Facebook Catalog / Instagram" template from CTX Feed's 220+ pre-built options. The plugin generates a feed compliant with **Meta Commerce Manager** requirements, including all required fields for:
- Dynamic Product Ads (DPA)
- Instagram Shopping
- Advantage+ catalog campaigns

Yes! Following Google's January 2026 policy update allowing subscription products in Shopping ads, CTX Feed Pro supports the **subscription_cost attribute** mapping required for:
- Subscription boxes
- Replenishment/auto-ship products
- Membership products

= How do I sync my feed to TikTok Shop? =

1. Create a new feed using the TikTok Shop template
2. Include all required attributes (product certification, brand authority)
3. Generate the feed and copy the URL
4. Add the feed URL to TikTok Seller Center
5. Set up a scheduled sync for automatic updates

= Can I exclude out-of-stock products from my feed? =

Yes! Use the **Filter** option when creating your feed:
1. Click "Filter" in the feed settings
2. Add condition: "Availability" + "is not" + "out of stock"
3. Generate your filtered feed

Pro tip: Use CTX Feed Pro's advanced filtering for complex conditions.

= Does CTX Feed work with WPML for multilingual feeds? =

Yes. CTX Feed is fully compatible with WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress. Create separate feeds for each language to target international markets with localized product data.

= How often should I update my product feed? =

We recommend **daily updates** for most stores. CTX Feed's scheduled cron feature can automatically regenerate your feed every 1, 6, 12, or 24 hours. For stores with frequently changing inventory, use the **Auto Update** feature to sync changes immediately.

= What file formats does CTX Feed support? =

CTX Feed supports **6 file formats** – more than any other WooCommerce feed plugin:
- XML (most common for Google, Facebook)
- CSV (spreadsheet compatible)

1. Edit any product
2. Scroll to the "CTX Feed" tab
3. Enter your product identifiers
4. These will automatically be included in your feeds

= Can I create feeds for multiple countries? =

Yes! Create separate feeds for each target country with:
- Localized pricing and currency
- Country-specific shipping information
- Translated product data (with WPML/Polylang)
- Region-specific availability

= How do I troubleshoot feed generation errors? =

If your feed fails to generate:
1. Reduce "Products Per Batch" to 100-200
2. Increase PHP memory limit in wp-config.php
3. Check for plugin conflicts by disabling other plugins

== Changelog ==

= Version 8.0.23 =
* Fix: multilingual stores (WPML) — variations whose global (taxonomy) attribute was translated after the variation was created no longer ship the original-language value in translated feeds (needs CTX Feed Pro 8.0.12).
* Fix: price and sale price carry exactly the suffix configured on the mapping row. A row with no suffix ships the bare number, and on multi-currency stores the feed currency fills in only for an empty suffix — the feed currency is no longer appended to, or substituted into, a price whose suffix says otherwise.
* Fix: brand — a new feed on a store without WooCommerce Brands terms gets the store name as a visible Text value on the brand row that you can edit; stores with Brands terms source the Parent Brand with no hidden fallback. Feeds created on 8.0.17–8.0.22 stop exporting the site title for products without a brand — the update clears that hidden fallback automatically.
* Added: a notice when the store has products of types the free plugin does not export (bundles, composite products, subscriptions, auctions and other custom types), with the count per type and a "Get the Pro" link. The health endpoint reports the same counts for AI assistants.
* Changed: Category mapping — channels with a published category list (Google Shopping and the channels that reuse its taxonomy, Facebook and Instagram) offer a searchable list with a magnifier; every other channel takes the category as free text, exactly as typed. The Google list is no longer offered for channels that do not use it.
* Fix: store category names containing "&" render correctly in the Category mapping editor.
* Changed: the feed settings fields are labelled "Feed Language" and "Feed Currency", and required fields show a red asterisk.
* Improved: the notice slider shows "1 of N" when several notices are waiting, and notice buttons use the primary button style.
* Fix: the custom-field toggles in Settings hide the disabled fields from the attribute dropdown.

= Version 8.0.22 =
* Fix: clearing a category mapping now sticks. Removing a category's value in the mapping editor showed it unmapped, but generated feeds quietly kept using the old value until the mapping was rebuilt — cleared entries are now really removed on save.
* Fix: multilingual stores (WPML) — product variations no longer ship original-language attribute text inside translated feeds. Variation title suffixes and attribute values in feed columns, attribute mappings and dynamic attributes now resolve in the feed's language (WPML/WCML stores also need CTX Feed Pro 8.0.11).
* Improved: the REST API validates every input up front with clear error messages and publishes response schemas on all endpoints. Invalid values are rejected instead of being silently reset or ignored — settings toggles, bulk feed actions, update intervals, FTP settings, category-mapping updates and channel batch requests included.
* Improved: support requests sent from the plugin keep the inline feed configuration compact — the readable version travels in the attached feed-config.txt file.

The complete changelog for all earlier versions ships with the plugin in changelog.txt.

== Upgrade Notice ==
= 8.0.0 =
Major update: a rewritten feed engine and a new admin interface. Your feeds and settings carry over automatically, but please back up your site before updating and check your feeds afterwards. Requires PHP 7.4+ (older PHP stays on 6.6.23). Any issue? Contact support@webappick.com.
