# WooCommerce Data Feeds Management

> Complete guide to managing data feeds in PureClarity WooCommerce plugin - scheduling, monitoring, and troubleshooting

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

## 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

<Info>
  Order feed data is crucial for AI learning. The more purchase history available, the better your recommendations become.
</Info>

## 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

<Tip>
  Delta feeds capture real-time changes while full feeds ensure complete data accuracy. This hybrid approach balances performance with data freshness.
</Tip>

### 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

**Individual Feed Execution**

**Bulk Feed Processing**

* "Run All Feeds" option
* Sequential processing order
* Comprehensive data refresh
* Useful after major catalog changes

<Warning>
  Manual feeds during high-traffic periods may impact site performance. Schedule during low-traffic hours when possible.
</Warning>

### Feed Status Monitoring

## Feed Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Feed Failures**

* Database connection issues
* Plugin configuration problems

**Data Quality Issues**

* Missing product information
* Inconsistent pricing data
* Broken image links
* Category mapping errors

### Diagnostic Steps

**Check Server Resources**

1. Verify PHP memory limits (recommended: 256MB+)
2. Check execution time limits (recommended: 300+ seconds)
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**

```php theme={null}
// 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
* Optimize database queries
* Consider server upgrade if persistent

<Warning>
  Making PHP configuration changes requires technical knowledge. Contact your hosting provider or developer if you're unsure about server modifications.
