You can setup a live inventory feed with your Shopify store in 3 easy steps:

1. Clone page.liquid and rename it as page.feed.liquid. You can do this by selecting "Add a new template" under Templates and then selecting

• Create a new template for: page
• Called: feed

2. Paste the following contents into the new template and save:

  

{% layout none %}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<rss>
    <channel>
        {% paginate collections.all.products by 10000 %}
            {% for product in collections.all.products %}
                <!-- Item #{{ forloop.index }} -->
                <item>
                    <title><![CDATA[{{ product.title | strip_html | strip_newlines }}]]></title>
                    <handle>{{product.handle }}</handle>
                    <id>{{product.id}}</id>
                    <description><![CDATA[{{ product.description | strip_html | strip_newlines }}]]></description>
                    <image>{{product.featured_image | product_img_url: 'large'}}</image>
                    <link>{{shop.url}}{{product.url}}</link>
                    <price>{{product.price | money_without_currency}}</price>
                    <quantity>1</quantity>
                </item>
            {% endfor %}
        {% endpaginate %}
    </channel>
</rss>

 

3. Create a new page (e.g., /pages/product-feed) using that template and email support@getcandid.com with the full URL (e.g., www.mystore.com/pages/product-feed).
