Producttoevoergegevens optimaliseren met doeltreffende uitvoerfilters

When you are creating a Product Feed of your WooCommerce store for your preferred merchant, sometimes you may find some attribute values are showing the correct data but with the wrong format. Or perhaps you may need to modify the current attribute value to meet your merchant’s feed specification.

The “Output Filter” option can help you in this way.

When you are creating a new feed or editing an existing feed with the Product Feed Manager, on the right side of the attributes you will find a dropdown option “Output Filter”.

For example, if you want to remove the decimal segment from your price attribute, simply select the “Price” from the Output Filter of Price attribute, and it will remove the decimal segments from your price attribute.
