Data feeds synchronize your WooCommerce store data with PureClarity for accurate recommendations. Ensure your plugin is properly configured before managing feeds.

​
Understanding Data Feeds

Data feeds are automatic processes that synchronize your store information with PureClarity’s recommendation engine. This ensures personalized recommendations are based on current, accurate data.

​
Feed Types

Product Feed
  • Product catalog information
  • Pricing, descriptions, images
  • Inventory status and availability
  • Product attributes and categories
Category Feed
  • Category structure and hierarchy
  • Category descriptions and metadata
  • Product-category relationships
  • Category-specific rules
User Feed
  • Customer account information
  • Registration and profile data
  • Customer preferences and segments
  • Account status and permissions
Order Feed
  • Purchase history and transactions
  • Order values and product quantities
  • Customer buying patterns
  • Revenue attribution data
Order feed data is crucial for AI learning. The more purchase history available, the better your recommendations become.

​
Automatic Feed Scheduling

The plugin automatically configures feed schedules for optimal performance:

​
Default Schedule

Daily Feeds (1:00 AM)
  • Full product catalog sync
  • Category structure updates
  • Customer data synchronization
  • Overnight processing minimizes site impact
Delta Feeds (Every 2 Hours)
  • New product additions
  • Price and inventory changes
  • Order updates
  • Customer activity changes
Delta feeds capture real-time changes while full feeds ensure complete data accuracy. This hybrid approach balances performance with data freshness.

​
Configuring Feed Timing

Access feed settings through the WooCommerce dashboard:
  1. Navigate to WooCommerce > PureClarity
  2. Access Settings tab
  3. Configure Feed Schedules section
  4. Set preferred timing for your timezone
  5. Enable/disable specific feeds as needed

​
Manual Feed Management

​
Running Feeds Manually

From the PureClarity dashboard feeds section: Individual Feed Execution
  • Select specific feed type
  • Click “Run Now” button
  • Monitor progress indicator
  • Verify completion status
Bulk Feed Processing

  • Useful after major catalog changes
Manual feeds during high-traffic periods may impact site performance. Schedule during low-traffic hours when possible.

  3. Monitor database performance
  4. Review server error logs
Validate Plugin Configuration
  1. Confirm API credentials are correct
  2. Verify feed settings are saved
  3. Check plugin compatibility
  4. Test with smaller data sets

​
Error Resolution

Memory Issues 
// Increase PHP memory limit in wp-config.php
ini_set('memory_limit', '512M');

// Or contact hosting provider for adjustment
Timeout Problems
  • Split large catalogs into smaller batches
  • Schedule feeds during low-traffic periods
