Before You Start

1. Enable the module for the correct scope.
2. Set the output filenames for the Skroutz and BestPrice feeds.
3. Review product selection filters and attribute mappings.
4. Configure Skroutz Analytics ID and payment mapping if Skroutz Analytics is used.
5. Generate a feed from CLI and verify the exported XML.

Feed Generation

• Skroutz feed: bin/magento ioweb:skroutzfeedvariations:generate-skroutz <store_id>
• BestPrice feed: bin/magento ioweb:skroutzfeedvariations:generate-bestprice <store_id>

Useful debug options for both commands:

• --debug-id=<product_id>: process one product by ID.
• --debug-sku=<sku>: process one product by SKU.
• --debug-limit=<n>: limit collection size.
• --debug-page=<n>: select a collection page.
• --debug-output=true: avoid writing the final feed file.

Module Settings

• Enable: turns the module on/off for the selected scope.
• XML Filename: output filename for Skroutz feed under Magento pub/.
• XML Bestprice Filename: output filename for BestPrice feed under Magento pub/.
• Debug: enables debug-oriented feed behavior.
• Memory Usage: enables extra memory reporting while debugging.

Skroutz Analytics

• Skroutz Analytics ID: identifier used for Skroutz Analytics order tracking.
• Payment Method to Skroutz Code Mapping: maps Magento payment methods to Skroutz values.

Product Selection Settings

• Availability when product in stock and Availability when product is out of stock: fallback availability text.
• Include Categories: export only products in selected categories.
• Exclude Categories, Exclude Manufacturers, and Exclude Products: remove products from the feed.
• Color Attributes and Size Attributes: define variation axes.
• Description Attributes: append selected product attributes to descriptions.
• Use Stock: selects the MSI stock index used for feed quantity and salability.
• MPN Attribute, Color/Size MPN Attribute, Manufacturer Attribute, EAN Attribute, and Availability Attribute: map feed data to catalog attributes.
• Use Full Description and Decode HTML Entities: control product description export.

Performance

• Batch size: products processed per batch.

• Use Price Index Only: improves performance but may skip custom runtime price logic.
• History days: days of feed generation history to keep.
