How to Create a Heureka Product Feed (step-by-step)

Step 1: Install CTX Feed plugin 

At first, you have to install a WooCommerce product feed generator plugin named “CTX Feed”. This plugin has both free and pro versions. 

To install the free version, go to your WordPress Dashboard: go to Plugins > Add New.

Search for the CTX Feed plugin on the search bar. And then install and activate the plugin. 

To install or know about the pro version of CTX Feed, click on the following button. 

Once you’re done installing and activating the CTX Feed plugin, you’ll see the menu on your WordPress website’s sidebar from the admin panel. 

By the way, we suggest you try the Pro version if you need to use features like advanced filters, attribute mapping, dynamic attributes, etc. 

Below is a video to show you how you can upgrade your free CTX Feed free plan to Pro. 

Step 2: Start Making Your Heureka Product Feed

Now it’s time to start making your Heureka product feed more easily. 

To begin with, hover on the CTX Feed menu and then click on the Make Feed option.

Content Settings

Once you’ve clicked on the Make Feed option, you’ll be redirected to a new page that comes with content settings and other configurations. 

Let’s start with the content settings. 

Country: Though this field is automatically populated as per the country setting of your WooCommerce website, you can change it if you want. 

Template: Choose Heureka.sk template from the list of premade templates. 

File Name: Give your Heureka product feed file a name. However, if you make more than one feed for Heureka, make sure to use unique names for every file. 

File Type: Heureka supports .XML file format. So, choose that from the list. 

Include Variations: Here is the place where you need to choose the variation you want to use in your Heureka product feed. 

Delimiter: Determine how the items in your Heureka product feed will be separated. The default is the comma which you can change if you want. 

Enclosure: Here you have to choose the type of enclosure. You can go either with none, single-inverted comma, or double-inverted comma as per your preference. 

 Step 3: Configure the Heureka Product Feed 

Once the content setting is done, you’ll see the feed config, filter, and advanced filter options just below that. 

In the FEED CONFIG, you’ll find a list of attributes required for Heureka product feed creation, if you need to make any changes to this, you can do so.

To add a new attribute, click on the “Add New Attribute” button at the end of the FEED CONFIG option. On the other hand, if you need to delete any attribute from the list, you can also do that as well by clicking on the delete boxes placed at the end of each attribute. 

Note that, CTX Feed also lets you add any suffix or prefix to your attributes. 

Once you’re done with the FEED CONFIG tab, you can explore the Filter and Advanced Filter tabs. 

In the filter options, there are a lot of options that allow you to customize your Heureka product feed as per your preference. You can do things like removing empty price products, including hidden products, removing out of products, and more. 

There are also advanced filters along with attribute mapping, dynamic attribute, and category mapping options if you use the CTX Feed Pro version on your WordPress website. 

Once you’re all done, click on “Update and Generate Feed”. Wait a few seconds, CTX Feed will generate a new product feed for Heureka soon.

Step 4: Manage the Feed

Once your Heureka product feed is done, you can see that from the Manage feed option (CTX Feed> Manage Feeds). 

Here you can also take multiple actions for your Heureka product feed such as viewing, regenerating, downloading, and more. 

Step 5: Upload the Feed on Heureka

It’s the last step where you need to upload the product feed you just created with CTX Feed on Heureka. Follow the steps for uploading product feed on the Heureka website and you should be good to go.
