Format Description

You can supply YML files to update your product range once in few hours.

YML (Yandex Market Language) is a data transfer and storage format for the Yandex.Market database, created by Yandex. YML is based on standard XML.
Details can be found here

Features

Website categorization should match YML categorization.
Product and category IDs in YML should match product and category IDs in orders, product actions, and category actions.
You need to upload the entire product range, with both available and unavailable products.
If retail product range is different from the website range, add retail products to YML.
If prices and availability vary by region, each region must have its own YML feed.
Custom fields can be added to products: <param name="custom field title">custom field value</param>.
A product can belong to multiple categories.
In case of an SKU, the node <offer id="321" type="vendor.model" available="true" group_id="22"> reads like this: id is the SKU ID, while group_id is the parent product ID.
