Overview

This article explains how to configure Product Feed settings in the Admin Console. These settings control how product data is fetched, processed, and included in feed generation for external systems such as marketing platforms, search engines, or third‑party integrations.

Proper configuration helps ensure optimal performance, scalability, and accurate product data delivery.

Prerequisites

• Access to the Admin Console
• Permissions to manage configuration or global settings
• Basic understanding of how product feeds are used in your organization

Use Case

A Business User or Administrator wants to:

• Control the number of products included in each feed execution
• Optimize feed processing performance for large product catalogs
• Enable or disable product data overrides for external channel customization

Configuration Fields Explained

1. Product Feed Record Count

• Definition: Number of product records included in a single feed run
• Example Value:100
• Behavior:
  • Controls total records processed per execution
  • Impacts frequency of feed runs
  • Product Feed Record Count - Chunk Size must be within a range of 1 - 10000

2. Enable Product Information Overrides

• Definition: Determines whether custom product data can override default product information
• Options:
  • Yes: Allows override of product attributes for feed output
  • No: Uses default product data without modification

Steps to Configure Product Feed Settings

1. Log in to the Admin Console.
2. Navigate to the Product Feed Settings section (commonly under global or integration settings).
3. In the Product Feed Record Count field, enter the number of records to include per feed run.
4. For Enable Product Information Overrides, select Yes or No based on your requirement.
5. Click Save to apply the configuration.

Expected Outcome

• Product feeds are generated using defined record count 
• Feed processing performance aligns with configured batch limits
• Product data includes overrides if the feature is enabled

Recommendations

• Use a balanced configuration to avoid performance bottlenecks:
  • Start with moderate values such as:
    • Product Feed Record Count: 10000
• Increase values gradually based on system performance and catalog size
• Enable Product Information Overrides only when required by external channels (e.g., Google Shopping, marketplaces)
• Perform test runs after updating configuration to validate output and performance
• Monitor feed execution time and adjust values if delays or failures occur

Guidelines

• Configure chunk size higher than record count to ensure efficient batching
• Avoid setting extremely high values unless validated in a staging or test environment
• Use smaller chunk sizes if:
  • The system experiences timeouts
  • There are memory or performance limitations
• Keep consistency across environments (development, staging, production) to avoid unexpected behavior
• Document any configuration changes for internal tracking and troubleshooting
• Coordinate with technical teams when updating settings for large catalogs or high‑volume feeds

Common Considerations and Limitations

• Large chunk sizes may increase memory usage and lead to processing failures
• Very low record counts can result in multiple feed executions and longer overall processing time
• Disabling overrides ensures consistent data but limits customization for third‑party integrations
• Performance may vary depending on catalog size and infrastructure setup
