Does your store expose a product feed?
Many checks need to read your catalogue, which requires a public product list. Shopify and WooCommerce provide one; other platforms expose products through their sitemap. This finds what your store offers.
Probes the common feed endpoints for your platform and reports what is public. Nothing is stored.
How this check works
Shipwork identifies your platform, then probes the endpoints where a public product list usually lives — Shopify /products.json, WooCommerce's Store API, or the product sitemaps other platforms serve — and reports what it could read. When a feed is found, the catalogue checks run; when it is not, they honestly say so rather than guess.
Questions
- What is a product feed?
- A machine-readable list of your products and their fields. Shopify exposes /products.json; WooCommerce exposes a Store API; other platforms list products in their sitemap.
- Why does Shipwork need one?
- Catalogue checks like prices, availability and images read the feed. Without a public list, those checks cannot run and Shipwork says so instead of guessing.
- My platform is not Shopify or WooCommerce. Can I still be checked?
- Yes. The site-wide checks read HTML and your sitemap, so reachability, indexation, schema, canonicals and more run on any platform. A product sitemap lets the catalogue checks run too.
