ChatGPT Agentic Product Feeds for Zen Cart

Turn Your Zen Cart Catalog into a ChatGPT-Ready Shopping Feed

ChatGPT Agentic Product Feed for Zen Cart generates a clean, standards-based JSON feed that conversational agents (like ChatGPT’s Shopping experience) can understand. Curate exactly which products are discoverable, enrich item details with smart overrides, and automate refreshes so your feed always reflects live pricing, inventory, and availability.

Why Stores Use This

• Reach shoppers in chat: Publish a purpose-built feed that powers AI shopping assistants.
• Granular control: Include/exclude products, categories, and product types with a click.
• Sales-ready data: Map brand, condition, dimensions, weights, pickup/shipping methods, return policy, and more.
• Built for automation: Regenerate feeds on a schedule and (optionally) upload to the OpenAI Commerce endpoint with backoff/retry and submission history.
• Secure access: Protect your feed with a signed token and configurable endpoint path.

What’s in the Feed

• Core catalog: product ID/SKU, model/MPN, title, description, category, brand, condition, price, tax class.
• Availability: stock quantity, low-stock/out-of-stock signals, status (enabled/disabled), date available.
• Media & links: primary image URL and canonical product URL (storefront).
• Logistics: weight, length/width/height with configurable units; shipping methods; optional local pickup method & SLA.
• Policies & seller data: seller name/URL, privacy policy, terms of service, return policy window (days).
• Virtual products: honors Zen Cart’s products_virtual flag for digital/non-shippable items.

Point-and-Click Admin Dashboard

• Quick filters: search by name/model; filter by inclusion status, product status, inventory (incl. low-stock), and refresh state.
• Inline controls: toggle inclusion, edit overrides (title, description, brand, condition, labels, etc.), and flag items for refresh.
• Build feed: generate the latest JSON file in one click; see counts, pending refreshes, and the last build timestamp.
• Submission history: track automated uploads (time, status, attempts, remote IDs, error details).

Configuration Highlights

• Language & currency: set language ID/code and currency for all feed values.
• Store & schema: store code, default condition, custom labels, and product type IDs.
• Checkout signals: advertise search/checkout capability to agents when applicable.
• Units & paths: choose weight/dimension units and the JSON output path.
• Security: endpoint URL + API token (signed token access to the feed).
• Uploader tuning: batch size, HTTP timeout, max attempts, and exponential backoff settings.

Automation-Ready

Use the included runner script to regenerate (and optionally upload) your feed on a schedule via cron. The same logic as the admin “Build Feed” action runs headless, ensuring ChatGPT sees up-to-date inventory.
