How to use data from unsupported plugins in the feed.

While our product feed manager seamlessly incorporates data from WordPress, WooCommerce, and various supported plugins, we understand the vast ecosystem of third-party plugins might offer unique data you wish to include in your product feeds. To facilitate this, we’ve introduced the “third-party attributes” feature in our settings.

Utilizing “Third-Party Attributes”:

This feature is designed to allow the integration of data from any third-party plugin that stores information within the WordPress database. Here’s how you can use this functionality:

1. Identify the Meta Key:
   • Start by adding a custom value to a new product within your WooCommerce store.
   • Access your WordPress database, typically through a tool like phpMyAdmin, and open the wp_postmeta table.
   • Order the entries by meta_id in descending order to locate the most recent additions easily.
   • The meta_key at the top of the list should correspond to the custom field you’ve added to your product.
2. Add the Meta Key to Third-Party Attributes:
   • With the meta_key identified, construct a filter string using the format %meta_key%, where meta_key is the prefix of the actual key you’ve discovered.
   • Enter this string into the “third-party attributes” field within our plugin’s settings page.

Finalizing the Integration:

After adding the meta_key to the “third-party attributes” field, it’s important to verify how the attribute is displayed within the source list in the feed editor. The display format can vary based on the third-party plugin, so a quick check ensures that the data integrates smoothly into your feed.

By following these steps, you can effectively extend the functionality of our product feed manager to include valuable data from a wide range of third-party plugins, enhancing the richness and accuracy of your product feeds.
