• Also, it’s possible to use other WooCommerce attributes, Dynamic Attributes, and Category Mapping Attributes. You can get the attributes codes by selecting the Product Attributes Dropdown at the bottom of the Custom Template 2  Feed Config section.

Only Parent product values:

You can use suffix  |only_parent ({link|only_parent}, {image|only_parent} etc), if you need to return only value of the parent product.
If the plugin can’t find the value of the parent product attribute, all its child products will also have no values, even if the child has values of this attribute.

Parent value, if parent value is not empty:

You can use suffix  | parent  ({image|parent}, {link|parent} etc), for return parent value, if child product value is empty.

Parent value, if child value is empty:

You can use suffix   |parent_if_empty ({image|parent_if_empty}, {link|parent_if_empty} etc), for return parent value, if child product value is empty.

Output Formatters: 

Every formatter should be enclosed with the third bracket and should have space before every parameter. For Example:

        {name, [substr 0 80], [...]}

Additional Patterns:

For PHP calculation and Ternary Operator you have to set attributes as PHP variable. For Example:  You want to multiply the price attribute value with 20. Then you have to set the price attribute as $price instead of {price}. {(return $price*20; )}. Don’t forget to add semicolon ; after the calculation.

Calculations:

• {(return $price * 1.15;)}
• {(return $qty + 1;)}
• {(return $group_price2 / 10 * 4 – 2.5;)}
• {(return str_replace(“0”, “*”, $sku);)}
• {(return substr($sku, 3);)}
• {(return str_replace(“a”, “b”, substr($sku, 0, 5));)}
• {(return date(‘d.m.Y H:i:s’);)}
• {(return date(‘d.m.Y H:i:s’, strtotime(‘+25 days’));)}
• {(return date(“d/m/Y”, strtotime($special_from_date));)}

PHP Ternary Operator:

• {(return ($price > 1000) ? ‘free shipping’ : ’15’;)}
• {(return ($manage_stock == 1) ? $qty : 999;)}
• {(return (strlen($manufacturer) > 1) ? $manufacturer : ‘NoBrand’;)}
• {(return ($color!==’orange’) ? $color : ”;)}

WPML Price Conversion:

WPML Price conversion function needs the currency code in ISO 3 digit format. Use wpml_price as output formatter for the price tag.

Example: <price>{price,[wpml_price]} BDT</price>
