Basic principles

MyCashflow's Hintaseuranta extension generates a feed file for each store version that contains all the product details that are required by Hintaseuranta. Feed files cannot be edited, and they always contain the same kind of details for each product.

Hintaseuranta is then provided with the address of the desired feed file in the online store and will read the file at regular intervals. This means that all the changes you make to your products will automatically be updated in Hintaseuranta.

To be able to display your online store's products in the Hintaseuranta service, first you need to complete a service agreement with Hintaseuranta. For more information about the agreement, see Hintaseuranta's merchant information.
