What is Shop-Script Premium?

Shop-Script Premium

Shop-Script is a self-hosted PHP/MySQL ecommerce platform built on the Webasyst framework, giving merchants a shopping cart, product catalog, order management, and storefront themes that run on their own server or hosting account. Shop-Script Premium is the top licensing tier of the platform, sitting above the Pro license and unlocking extra store-management capabilities such as fractional product quantities and custom quantity units, in addition to the core catalog, inventory, and order tools shared across Shop-Script installations.

Because Shop-Script Premium is self-hosted rather than a hosted SaaS cart, store owners control their own server environment, database, and codebase, and they connect outside services like Feedance to their store using the credentials and access methods their installation supports.

Why connect Shop-Script Premium to Feedance?

Merchants running Shop-Script Premium often need their product data to reach price comparison sites, marketplaces, and advertising channels in the specific formats those destinations require. Feedance connects to your Shop-Script Premium store to read your product catalog and stock levels and turn them into structured feeds, so you don't have to build and maintain custom export scripts by hand.

  • Centralize feed management for a self-hosted store without writing custom PHP export code.
  • Keep listings aligned with your actual product, pricing, and stock data as it changes in Shop-Script Premium.
  • Save ongoing maintenance time compared to manually exporting and reformatting CSV files.

How does Feedance connect to Shop-Script Premium?

Feedance connects directly to your Shop-Script Premium store using the store's available API access. Once connected, Feedance can retrieve your product catalog, inventory levels, and order data on an ongoing basis so it can be kept in sync for your feeds and reporting, without you needing to manually export files each time something changes.

Because Shop-Script Premium is self-hosted, the exact connection details (such as the store's URL and access credentials) depend on how your installation is configured and accessible on the internet.

What data does Feedance access from Shop-Script Premium?

Feedance works with exactly three data entities from any connected platform, including Shop-Script Premium:

Data entityWhat Feedance uses it for
ProductsTitles, descriptions, images, prices, categories, and other catalog attributes used to build and update your product feeds.
InventoryStock quantities and availability status, kept in sync so your feeds reflect what's actually in stock.
OrdersOrder data used for reporting and to help reconcile feed performance with actual sales.

Feedance does not access or store customer records, coupons, gift cards, shipping or tax configuration, or subscriber lists from your Shop-Script Premium store.

Shop-Script Premium-specific considerations worth knowing

Shop-Script Premium's license tier adds functionality that Pro-licensed Shop-Script stores don't have, most notably support for fractional product quantities and custom quantity units (a stock unit for tracking inventory, such as rolls or meters, and a base unit for customer-facing pricing). If your store uses these Premium-only features, quantities may be expressed as decimal values rather than whole numbers, so it's worth checking how your feed destinations expect stock and unit quantities to be formatted. Because Shop-Script Premium stores are self-hosted, the specific plugins, themes, and customizations installed can also vary significantly between stores, which may affect how consistently product data is structured for feed purposes.

How to connect Shop-Script Premium with Feedance

  1. Log in to your Feedance account and start adding a new store connection.
  2. Select Shop-Script Premium as your platform.
  3. Enter your store's URL and the access credentials Feedance requests to connect to your installation.
  4. Authorize the connection so Feedance can securely read your product, inventory, and order data.
  5. Confirm the connection and review the imported catalog before creating or updating your feeds.

How often does your Shop-Script Premium data sync?

Once connected, Feedance periodically checks your Shop-Script Premium store for updates to products, inventory, and orders so your feeds stay reasonably current. Exact sync frequency can depend on your Feedance plan and store size, so if you need near-real-time updates for fast-moving stock, it's worth confirming the sync interval that applies to your account.
