Grainsoft Product Feed for FINN.no

Yes. FINN has to know your feed exists and has to agree to read it. You need a business account with a Torget shop plan, and FINN has to onboard you onto Store Hub Connect. The plugin produces the feed; FINN decides when to start reading it.

The plugin rebuilds the feed every hour, and FINN reads it roughly every two hours. In practice a price change shows up on FINN within a couple of hours. Nothing you do makes FINN read sooner — the schedule is theirs.

Because FINN's specification forbids protecting it any other way. The feed must be reachable without a login, an API key, an IP allow-list or a VPN, so the only thing standing between your catalogue and the open internet is an address nobody can guess. Treat it as a secret. If it does get out, use Issue a new address — the old one stops working immediately, and you send the new one to FINN.

Anyone who knows the address can read your product titles, descriptions, prices and images — the same information already on your shop's public product pages. The feed contains nothing about customers or orders. It carries a noindex header so search engines will not list it.

Open WooCommerce → FINN feed. Any product that was left out is listed there with the reason. FINN requires a title, a price, a category and at least one publicly reachable HTTPS image; a product missing any of those cannot be listed. The usual culprit is an image on an HTTP URL, or a product with no category.

No. If a product has no description, FINN falls back to the title. A real description will sell the item better, but it is not required.

FINN keeps 4,000 characters of plain text. If yours is longer, the plugin cuts it at the last paragraph that fits, so it never ends halfway through a sentence. FINN also strips all formatting except basic paragraphs and lists — headings, tables, columns and embeds are flattened, which is FINN's behaviour, not the plugin's.

By default, one listing for the parent product. Turn on Publish each variation as its own listing if you want each size or colour listed separately — but remember that each one counts against your FINN listing allowance, so a product with twelve variations uses twelve slots.

FINN publishes in feed order and stops when your allowance runs out, so whatever comes first wins. Set Maximum listings to your allowance and choose an order — most expensive first, newest first, most in stock first, or your own shop order — and you decide which products get listed rather than leaving it to chance.

Three ways, depending on scale: tick Exclude from FINN feed in the product's Advanced tab; select several products in the products list and use the Exclude from FINN feed bulk action; or exclude a whole product category in the settings. Hidden products are always left out. Removing a product from the feed removes its FINN listing at the next import.

Prices are sent as Norwegian kroner and rounded to whole kroner, because that is what FINN's feed format assumes. The plugin does not convert currency: if your shop prices in another currency, the number is sent as-is and FINN will read it as NOK. Use a currency plugin, or a shop priced in NOK, if that is not what you want.

If a product is on sale, both the regular price and the sale price are sent, along with the sale period if you set one. FINN shows the discount.

The feed contains one version of your catalogue: whatever the site produces for the plugin's requests. Multi-currency and multi-language setups vary too much for a single answer, so test the feed by opening its address before you send it to FINN.

No. The plugin makes no outbound connections at all. It writes a file into your uploads folder and serves it when something asks for it. FINN comes to you.

No. The feed is built once an hour in the background and written to disk; serving it is just sending a file. The build streams products in batches of 200, so memory stays flat however large your catalogue is.

Open the feed address in a browser. If it downloads and displays as XML, it is well-formed and the problem is more likely to be mapping — usually categories FINN has not been told how to interpret. If your browser reports an XML error instead, that is a bug in this plugin, and the exact message your browser shows is the most useful thing you can include in a support request.

Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save. That rebuilds WordPress's rewrite rules, which some hosts and caching layers drop.

Yes, in two ways. The settings screen covers description source, title suffix, category format, brand, condition, and any extra product attributes you want to publish. For anything beyond that, developers can use the finn_feed_item filter to change a mapped product before it is written, and finn_feed_query_args to change which products are selected.

No. The plugin is free and complete. There is no upsell, no locked feature and no account to create.
