Opencart XML Data Feed to Kurpirkt.lv

Description

This OpenCart data feed module allows you to feed all your products to the Latvian product comparision service Kurpirkt.lv.

Demonstration

User: demo
Password: demo

Pre-requisites

  • Latvian currency EUR must be installed, as Kurpirkt.lv requires product feed in local currency.
  • For Opencart verion 2.3.0.0 - 2.3.0.2 opencart_2.3.0.2_compatibility_fix.ocmod must be installed first. This file can be found in the installation package in the folder with the same name. You should use Opencart Extension Installer from the admin panel to install it.

Installation

  1. Make backup of store files and database before you install the module (just a healthy habit).
  2. Go to admin Extensions -> Extension Installer and upload the installation package.
  3. If you have Opencart version 2.3.x, extract the file from opencart_2.3.0.2_compatibility_fix.ocmod.xml folder. Go to admin Extensions -> Extension Installer and upload this file.
  4. In the admin edit your usergroup to have permissions on feed/kurpirkt, if it doesn't have already.
  5. Go to Extensions -> Feeds and install the module Kurpirkt.lv Product Feed.
  6. Edit module and fill in required entries.
  7. Copy the provided feed link (http://www.yourshop.com/index.php?route=feed/kurpirkt&code=your-security-code) and submit it at http://www.kurpirkt.lv/veikaliem.php. Follow the instructions on that page and do not forget to put their banner on your store.

If you are upgrading from previous versions, then it might be neccessary to un-install and install the extension form the admin panel Product Feeds section.
