Why Businesses Need Prom Feed

• Faster start of sales on Prom: products enter the marketplace through a ready-made feed.
• Unified data standard: the team works with a single profile configuration.
• Less manual work: feed URL and cache updates work automatically.
• Managed assortment: you can include all products in the feed or only selected categories.

What is on the Feed Prom Page

1. Feed Profiles - creation, deletion, and switching configurations.
2. Public URL - link to the XML feed for connection in Prom.
3. Cron URL - separate link for scheduled cache updates.
4. Categories - selection of part of the catalog for the feed.
5. Mappings - rules for matching CatPro and Prom fields.
6. Final Actions - saving the profile and generating/downloading the feed.
