Use Case – Magento 2 Product Import Using XML Live URL
Consider that you have a dropship store on Adobe Commerce and have multiple suppliers or distributors that need to provide product data to you so as to list products on your site.
Now, in this case where you have multiple distributors like D1, D2, D3, and so on, each can provide you with their respective product data in various file formats like CSV, etc.
This can then be a cumbersome process, using those file formats to add the supplier products to your store.
Here, if all of the distributors or suppliers are using a standardized XML file live URL for the product feed data then the dropship admin of the Magento 2 store can easily use that to import products.
So, the suppliers can add the products into the XML file and provide it’s live URL to the store owner and thus the store owner can easily add all of the product feeds without any effort.
