When you are using Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce plugin, if you go to the Controls tab from the Product Feed Manager Settings, you will get some useful options that can be really helpful to generate an accurate feed for your preferred merchant.

Free Features #

Here are the free options that you can use with the Free version:

Product(s) Per Batch #

Products per batch indicate the number of products that will be generated per batch.

You see, when you generate a feed with Product Feed Manager if the plugin tries to generate all the products at once, it will put enormous pressure on your server if your site contains too many products.

Hence your server won’t be able to handle it and your site will crash. This is where this batch method comes in. It divides the number of products into batches and this way it won’t put much pressure on your server at a time.

Products per batch are set as 200 by default, you can change this number as per server capacity. Put a new batch number and click on the Save button to set the new batch number.

Clear Batch #

Sometimes your feed may get stuck, or you can see that your feed is still loading. In this case you may want to clear the batch to remove all the batches from the cache.

Just click on the Clear button, and all the batches from the cache will be cleared.

Purge Cache — #

You can click on this Purge Cache button to clear the plugin cache.
