Real-Time XML Stock Feed Integration
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I need a developer who can connect my supplier’s XML feed (delivered over SFTP) to my existing WooCommerce store so that stock levels and prices refresh in real time. The feed holds four elements that absolutely must map correctly: Product ID, Stock Quantity, Price and Image.
Your task is to build a small, self-contained plugin or custom snippet that:
• securely pulls the XML file from the SFTP server on every change or at a tight interval that feels “live” to the store,
• parses those four elements and updates the matching WooCommerce products without creating duplicates,
• pushes any price or stock change instantly to the front end so customers always see accurate availability and cost.
Please make sure the solution respects WooCommerce coding standards, uses WP-Cron or an equivalent event-based trigger for the polling, and keeps all logic separated in a way that survives core and plugin updates. I’ll provide SFTP credentials and a sample XML once we start; I simply need clear setup instructions and a short hand-off call when you’re done.
