Find-iQ XML Feed — documentation & examples

Documentation for integrating Find-iQ smart search with a web-shop without a native CMS module — by exposing a price feed in Find-iQ XML format and manually embedding the widget script.

This approach suits shops running custom CMS platforms, static catalogues or any engine for which there is no ready Find-iQ module yet.

If you run OpenCart 3 / OcStore, use the native module instead: find-iq/find-iq_CMS_opencart.

How it works

1. Your shop generates an XML file that describes all products and categories
2. The file is served at a stable URL your shop can update regularly (e.g. every hour)
3. In the Find-iQ admin panel you switch connection type to XML Feed and paste the URL
4. Find-iQ fetches the feed on a schedule, parses it and indexes the catalogue
5. You add the Find-iQ widget script to your shop template (one-time)
6. Users see the smart search on your site

Quick start

1. Generate the XML feed

See examples/findiq_price_example.xml for a complete, commented example showing all supported fields with sample values.

Full field reference: docs/xml-feed-format.md.

2. Serve the feed at a public URL

Make the file reachable, for example:

https://your-shop.com/findiq/feed.xml

It must be accessible without authentication and return Content-Type: application/xml.

3. Configure Find-iQ admin

Step-by-step: docs/admin-setup.md.

4. Install the widget script manually

Step-by-step: docs/widget-manual-install.md.
