Very often PrestaShop users need to export product data to a spreadsheet every few hours or days in order to edit it in a more convenient way or to send it to their suppliers etc. This is what is called a ‘data feed’. It is the file with information on products available at your store, that can be used for uploading to different shopping centers or other external users. Additionally, if your products are in high demand and you need to inform your provider about the low stock of your entities, export is also good means of accomplishing the task. However, running the process again, and again manually can be tiresome and often store owners start looking for reliable ways for executing PrestaShop cron job for exporting products.
