XML Feed Setup

Skroutz Feed

Import your products using the Skroutz XML feed format, commonly used in the Greek e-commerce market.


Overview

Skroutz is the leading price comparison engine in Greece. SearchX supports importing products directly from Skroutz-compatible XML feeds.


Feed Format

Your feed should follow the Skroutz Feed Specification:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<store>
  <products>
    <product>
      <UniqueID>SKU-001</UniqueID>
      <Name>Example Product</Name>
      <ProductURL>https://www.mystore.gr/products/example</ProductURL>
      <ImageURL>https://www.mystore.gr/images/example.jpg</ImageURL>
      <AdditionalImageURL>https://www.mystore.gr/images/example-2.jpg</AdditionalImageURL>

UniqueID and product identification

The UniqueID value is exposed as unique_id in SDK events (e.g., SearchX:addToCart). If you use these events to interact with your own backend, make sure UniqueID matches the identifier your API expects — typically your database primary key. See Event Handling for details.

Setting Up

  1. Navigate to Applications in the SearchX Dashboard.
  2. Set your feed URL and select Skroutz as the feed type.
  3. Click Import Products.

Smart Tag Parsing

SearchX automatically detects multiple tag name variants (e.g., ImageURL vs image, ProductURL vs url). This reduces setup friction — your feed will likely work without renaming any tags.

Skroutz Feed Generators

Most Greek e-commerce platforms (like OpenCart with the Skroutz plugin) can automatically generate Skroutz-compatible feeds, including variation support. Check your platform's documentation for feed generation options.
