How to Generate a Kelkoo Product Feed for WooCommerce

To generate a Kelkoo product feed from WooCommerce, use a feed generator plugin such as CTX Feed to pull your product data, map it to Kelkoo’s required attributes, and export it as a TXT or XML file. A Kelkoo product feed is simply a structured file listing the products you want to advertise on Kelkoo’s comparison marketplace, built from attributes like ID, title, price, brand, availability, and images.

This guide covers the required and optional attributes for a Kelkoo feed and walks through creating, managing, and uploading one with CTX Feed.

How to Create a Kelkoo Product Feed Using CTX Feed

Step 1: Install the CTX Feed Plugin

From your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, then Add New. Search for CTX Feed, then install and activate it. A CTX Feed menu appears in your admin sidebar once activation completes. CTX Feed Pro unlocks advanced filters, dynamic attributes, and attribute mapping if you need more control over the feed.

Step 2: Start a New Feed and Set Content Settings

Hover over the CTX Feed menu and click Make Feed, or go to the CTX Feed page and click New Feed. Set the following:

• Country: CTX Feed populates this based on your WooCommerce store location, but you can change it.
• Template: Choose Kelkoo from the list of 130+ marketplace templates.
• File Name: Give the feed a unique name so it does not clash with other feeds you create.
• File Type: Kelkoo accepts TXT or XML. Choose either.
• Include Variations: Select which product variations to include.
• Delimiter: Choose how items are separated in the file. Comma is the default.
• Enclosure: Choose double or single inverted commas to enclose column data, or none.

Step 3: Configure the Kelkoo Feed Attributes

Selecting the Kelkoo template loads Kelkoo’s required attributes automatically under the Feed Config tab. From here you can add an attribute with Add New Attribute, remove one with its delete button, apply prefixes or suffixes, and drag attributes into a different order. Once the mapping looks right, click Update and Generate Feed.

CTX Feed Pro adds filters to exclude backorder products, out-of-stock products, or items with empty descriptions, plus advanced filters, dynamic attributes, and category mapping for Kelkoo feed creation.

Step 4: Manage and Automate the Feed

Kelkoo product feed management happens under CTX Feed > Manage Feeds. From this screen you can set an automatic update interval so the feed refreshes on a schedule, delete feeds individually or in bulk, and use the action menu to view, regenerate, or download any feed. You can also export the feed configuration and download the feed log from here.

Step 5: Upload the Feed to Kelkoo

Download the generated feed file and follow Kelkoo Group’s official guide for submitting a data feed to confirm the current upload method and any account setup steps, since submission requirements can be updated on Kelkoo’s side.
