Delta feed will make loading products on the site easier and faster
What is Delta Feed
A delta feed is a lightweight version of the main feed or product data that contains only the data that has changed in relation to previous periods.
This is achieved by removing data from the feed that does not change. For example, links to product photos.
A delta feed is the same file format that you are used to working with, only MUCH smaller in terms of data set
What is the advantage of delta feed for an online store?
Frequent data updates
If you need to download feeds several times a day.

Why is Delta Feed Generation Important for Online Stores?
Online store owners often face the problem of product uploads taking too much time and resources. The larger the number of products in your store, the more difficult it becomes to keep your feeds up to date without increasing the load on servers. With the delta-feed generation service, you can significantly speed up the product update process by uploading only the changes, not the entire feed. This allows your store to work faster and more efficiently, improving the quality of customer service.
What is a delta-feed?
A delta-feed is a mini-version of your feed, containing only the data that has changed since the last upload. This approach significantly reduces the amount of data transferred, improves processing and data loading speed, and increases the performance of your site.
Benefits of delta-feeds for online stores:
Optimized data loading: When your site frequently updates products, using delta-feeds allows you to upload only changes without overloading the server.
Speed: Delta-feeds reduce loading times and speed up the store’s performance, which is particularly important for large e-commerce platforms.
Fewer errors during updates: Since the service compares only the changes, the chances of errors and data duplication are minimal.
Support for frequent updates: If you need to update feeds several times a day, delta-feeds provide maximum efficiency.
How does the service work?
Our service offers two methods for generating delta-feeds:
By comparing with the previous version of the feed: The service compares the current and previous versions of the feed, identifies the changes, and sends only the updated data.
By data retrieval time: The service tracks changes with time accuracy and records them. The client can request the feed for any time period and receive only the changed data for that interval.
What exactly is updated in the delta-feed?
The delta-feed may include any data that has changed, including:
Prices and stock levels
Product description
Image links
Characteristics (color, size, material, etc.)
Product categories and other parameters
Thus, the feed will contain only the data that has actually changed, minimizing the amount of data transferred and speeding up the loading process.
Full product composition when any data string changes:
For users who need to send the full product description even if only one string of data (e.g., product description) has been modified, we offer a setting in which the delta-feed will send the full product description. This is particularly useful for CMS platforms that do not support partial data overwriting.
Using delta-feeds helps maintain up-to-date information on your site, improves store performance, and reduces technical risks. This solution is ideal for businesses looking to speed up processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs.
