With the Hintaseuranta.fi product feed you can make your online store products appear on the website Hintaseuranta.fi.
The Hintaseuranta.fi product feed is a file automatically generated from the product information of a selected store version, and its content is regularly transmitted to the Finnish Hintaseuranta.fi service.
The Hintaseuranta.fi product feed is part of the MyCashflow Product Feeds extension.
Ordering product feeds
Only an admin account can order product feeds.
Here's how to order a new version-specific Hintaseuranta.fi product feed for the online store:
- Go to the page on the admin panel.
- Press the Hintaseuranta.fi product feeds subheading's Order new product feed button and, if necessary, select the store version whose products you want in the feed.
- Accept the terms of service and press the button.
Once you have completed the order, the feed details and address will be visible on the extension page. You can view the content of the feed by copying the feed URL into the browser's address bar. Note that not all browsers may be able to display large feeds.

Using product features to modify the contents of a product feed
With MyCashflow's product features, you can add product information to a feed that the feed does not natively support (such as an environmental certificate granted to the product or the product's inclusion in a specific discount campaign).
When you use product features to define, for example, product environmental certificates, first create a new product attribute using a custom identifier (such as eco_certificate). Activate the Display as product feature on product pages selection in the product attribute settings.
After this, add values to the product attribute with identifiers to specify environmental certificates.
Finally, you can enable the product attribute as a product feature for products or variations. The product feature you specified will appear in the product feed when the feed is updated next time.
Examples
<g:product_detail><g:attribute_name>Environmental certificate</g:attribute_name><g:attribute_value>Öko-Tex 100</g:attribute_value></g:product_detail>- optional identifiers
- identifiers of standard attributes
- custom identifiers
Optional identifiers
An optional identifier for a product attribute is useful when the product feature does not correspond to any standard attribute supported by the product feed. You can format the optional identifier in any way you like (for example, the identifier for the Environmental Certificate attribute could be environmental_sertificate just as well as eco_certificate).
Identifiers of standard attributes
Certain product feed parameters correspond to the identifiers of the feed's standard attributes:
- color
- size
- material
- pattern
- condition
<g:color>blue</g:color>Custom identifiers
If you define a product feature for internal store use only (for example, to group products included in a discount campaign), you can use an a custom identifier as the product attribute identifier:
- custom_label_0
- custom_label_1
- custom_label_2
If a product attribute uses an custom_label identifier, the identifier of the attribute value is also included in the feed as a separate element. As identifiers for attribute values, for example, outlet and spring_2025 would appear in the feed as follows:
<g:custom_label_0>outlet</g:custom_label_0><g:custom_label_1>spring_2025</g:custom_label_1>Updating the product feed
Product feeds are updated automatically once a day in the early morning. Changes made to products in the online store or additions or deletions of products are therefore not immediately visible in the feeds.
You can also update the product feed manually on the admin panel's page by pressing the 
button next to the feed to be updated. You can update the feed once every 30 minutes.
Deleting a product feed
Here's how to delete a product feed from a version and terminate the associated advertising:
The advertising associated with the deleted product feed will cease once the ad service's bot next time checks the updates for your product feeds.
