Salidzini.lv feed for Shopify

Salidzini's model is the hosted file: one UTF-8 XML on a public URL, generated automatically and refreshed at least once a day, with the URL answering within five minutes. Salidzini re-reads the file regularly and rebuilds its shop and product database every day. There is no upload, no SFTP and no API.

Feedflock hosts the file on a stable URL and regenerates it on your schedule, as often as every hour, so the five-minute response and the daily refresh are covered by default. One caveat worth knowing: Salidzini also offers to build the XML for shops itself, from 2 EUR a month. If a merchant says they "already have a Salidzini feed", it may be that scraper, not a feed the shop controls.

Salidzini's tag table marks exactly three elements as required: name, link and price. The name has rules beyond its 200-character cap: it must carry the brand or manufacturer, the model and the code, and it may not carry advertising phrases ("Ir uz vietas", "Bezmaksas piegāde", "Super cena", "Jaunums") or machine-translated filler. The same ban on generic words applies to category_full.

The link must be a full-form URL on the domain you registered with. Since the shop name and domain can never be changed after registration, a hostname migration is a conversation with Salidzini, not just a feed edit. The price is the final price a private person pays, in EUR with a decimal point, VAT and all extra costs in, delivery out, and it must match what your own product page shows.

Most comparison engines want an availability label; Salidzini wants a number. in_stock is the count of units in your warehouse that can be delivered to Riga within four working days, and the same number must appear on your shop's product page. For a Latvia-based shop with one warehouse that is simply the stock level; Feedflock sends your Shopify inventory, clamped at 0 so an oversold variant never goes out as a negative count.

Two assortment rules are the merchant's to keep: only products whose delivery terms do not exceed 30 days may be in the file, and alcohol and tobacco products are forbidden outright. Used, refurbished, demo or damaged goods must carry used with the value 1, sellers of intimate goods must send adult, and pharmacies mark non-prescription products with over_the_counter_medicine. The template has a place for each.

Salidzini has no delivery block and no carrier codes: each of six Latvian carriers is its own numeric element with that product's price for that method. Two aggregates sit next to them: delivery_latvija, the cheapest of everything you offer in Latvia, and delivery_cost_riga, the maximum this product can cost to deliver to a Riga street address.

The day counts have one trap: delivery_days_latvija is the smallest guaranteed day count, and Salidzini's own example takes the upper end of each method's range first. 4–7 days by courier and 3–5 by parcel machine means sending 5, not 3 and not 7. Every delivery element is optional, and an empty one explicitly means "no information", so the template fills none of them by default: a default of 0 would advertise free delivery for every shop.
