There are two XML structures available in the VARLE Marketplace, which are listed below. Vendors wishing to use XML for data updates must provide a file that conforms to the VARLE XML structure.
In the XML documents, you will find different product examples that you can adapt accordingly in your product import. Examples given:
- A product with all tags filled. With variants and explanations. [Mandatory, optional, recommended]
- A product with all tags filled. Without variants and explanations. [Mandatory, optional, recommended]
- A product whose tags are partially filled. Without variants. [Mandatory, recommended].
- A product that only has mandatory tags. (no options)
We always recommend providing as much information as possible about the products you have. In this way, products will be easier to organize in our system (categories, filters), will look more attractive to customers and will be easier to find on the varle.lt page.
XML structures can be found here:
