About this plugin
Catalune builds the product feed file Pinterest reads for your shop’s catalog, and checks every product against Pinterest’s published catalog requirements before Pinterest reads the file. Each problem is one plain sentence (the product, the field, why Pinterest would refuse it and how to fix it) with an Edit link straight to that product. It is made for Pinterest’s catalog alone.
” So a product with an error is left out of the feed and listed with the reason, and the products that pass stay in the feed without it.
Catalune does not connect to any external service: it reads your own WooCommerce products, everything happens on your site, and Pinterest reads the feed file from your site only after you add its address in your own Pinterest account.
A Pinterest product feed for your WooCommerce shop
Catalune writes your Pinterest product feed as one file on your own site, from WooCommerce’s own product data: each product’s name, description, page address, pictures, price and sale price, stock status, category, brand and barcode, with each variation tied to its main product. It is built again every day and about 10 minutes after you change a product, at the same address, so your Pinterest catalog gets your latest products each time Pinterest reads it.
Pinterest catalog errors and feed errors, before ingestion fails
Catalune checks for the feed errors Pinterest’s catalog requirements describe, before Pinterest reads the file: no price or a price of zero, no description or code left in it, the same SKU twice, a name or description too long, a stock status or currency Pinterest does not read, a variation without its main product. A product with an error stays out of the feed; a product with only a warning stays in, and Catalune says what to fix.
Pinterest image size: product images too small
Pinterest asks for a main picture of at least 1000 by 1500 pixels. Catalune reads each picture’s size from your media library’s own records, never by downloading it, and warns about a main picture that is too small, a gallery picture under 75 by 75 pixels, a comma in a picture’s address, and a new picture put under the old address.
A product catalog feed checker, under WooCommerce › Catalune
Catalune’s own screen is the product feed checker: feed validation in plain words.
What you get:
- The feed address to paste into Pinterest, with a Copy button, and how many products are in the feed and how many are left out.
- The feed built in the background in small batches, one job at a time. “Check again now” builds it at once.
- The problems grouped by cause, errors first, 20 a page, with a filter by cause and a spreadsheet (CSV) download.
- How to add the feed address in Pinterest, step by step, with a link to Pinterest’s own help page.
- A Catalune box on each product’s edit screen: whether that product is in the feed, and what to fix, for each of its variations too.
- A first-run guide that says what a product feed is, and lets you put in all your products or only the categories you choose.
- A suggested paragraph for your privacy policy page. Catalune keeps no personal data.
How Catalune is different
- Every product is checked against Pinterest’s published catalog requirements before Pinterest reads the feed.
- Each problem is one plain sentence with a link to that product’s edit screen.
- It is made for Pinterest’s catalog alone, and it sends nothing anywhere.
