Turn your X-Cart catalog into feeds that know what sells.

X-Cart is a PHP-based e-commerce platform first released in 2000-2001, making it one of the earliest downloadable PHP/MySQL shopping cart applications on the market. It is distributed as commercial open-source software, so merchants can run it on their own server (self-hosted) or use X-Cart's own cloud hosting, and customize the codebase, themes, and add-ons as needed.

Beyond a standard single-store setup, X-Cart offers higher editions built for multi-vendor marketplaces, alongside core storefront features such as catalog management, order processing, inventory tracking, and SEO tools. Store owners manage the platform through an admin panel and can extend functionality through official and third-party add-ons.

• Connect once, no manual exports
• Catalog changes reach your feeds on every sync
• Product Score, 4T, Price War and Broken Size labels on every product
• One source, a tailored feed for each of 200+ channels

Running a self-hosted or cloud-hosted X-Cart store means your product data, stock levels, and orders live inside your own store instance rather than a shared SaaS backend. Connecting X-Cart to Feedance gives you a way to pull that catalog and inventory data out automatically, keep it current, and use it to power product feeds for marketplaces, comparison shopping engines, and advertising channels.

Instead of manually exporting spreadsheets or maintaining custom scripts against your X-Cart install, Feedance keeps your product and inventory information synchronized on a schedule, and reflects order activity so your feeds and stock data stay accurate as sales happen.

Feedance reads three groups of X-Cart data. Each one has a job in the feed.

Feedance connects directly to your X-Cart store using API credentials that you generate from your own admin panel. Once connected, Feedance can securely retrieve your product catalog, inventory levels, and order information on a recurring basis, so you don't need to build or maintain any custom integration code.

The connection is read access for catalog and order data by default, with optional write-back for inventory levels where supported, all managed through the credentials you control from within X-Cart's own settings.

1. 01
   Log in to your X-Cart admin panel and locate the API settings section.
2. 02
   Generate an API key with read/write access if you want Feedance to update inventory, or read-only access if you only need catalog and order data.
3. 03
   Copy the API key (and store URL, if required) from your X-Cart admin panel.
4. 04
   In Feedance, start a new X-Cart connection and enter your store URL and API credentials.
5. 05
   Save the connection and confirm that your products, inventory, and orders appear correctly in Feedance before building your feeds.

Feedance syncs your X-Cart products, inventory, and orders on a regular automated schedule, so your feeds stay current without manual exports. Exact sync frequency can depend on your plan and store size, and you can typically trigger a manual refresh in Feedance if you need the latest data immediately after making changes in X-Cart.

Once X-Cart is connected, every channel gets its own feed from the same source, with Feedance labels in custom label fields.
