MyFeeds — Affiliate Product Feed Manager

Stop copy-pasting affiliate products. Stop fixing dead links by hand. Start writing.

MyFeeds drops live product tiles into your posts. The prices, stock and links update themselves, so you write once and stop maintaining.

You write about products you recommend. You drop them into your posts. A few weeks pass, and half the prices are off, a couple of products went out of stock without telling you, and one merchant quietly disappeared from your network. Every roundup, every gift guide, every product page tells the same story. Quietly going stale while you write the next one.

MyFeeds takes your affiliate program’s product feed and quietly keeps it in sync with your site. You pick a product inside the block editor the way you’d pick an image, hit publish, and move on. The next morning the prices are still right. The dead products are flagged. Your readers see what the merchant is actually selling today.

You get to stay where the value is. Writing. Instead of pasting URLs at midnight.

Who is this for

Anyone earning a cut when readers click and buy. Whatever you cover, from clothing and gear to books, beauty, supplements, tools, baby, garden, hobbies, niche electronics, or deals: if there’s an affiliate program for it, there’s a product feed somewhere, and MyFeeds can read it.

The block editor stays your block editor. The plugin works in the background.

What changes for you

• Your posts get product tiles, not paragraphs of pasted links. A visual grid your readers can scan: image, brand, price, discount, shipping, affiliate link. You compose it in seconds inside the block editor.
• Your prices stop lying. The price your reader sees today is the price on the merchant’s checkout right now.
• Your posts stop rotting. Dead products surface so you can replace them. Stock that comes back lights up again. Nothing decays silently.
• You publish faster. Two letters in the editor, the product appears, you click, the card is in. No new tab, no copy, no paste.
• Your site stays yours. Products live in your own WordPress database. Visitors don’t wait on a third-party server, and nothing about them is sent off-site when a page loads.
• No translation tax. Whatever your program sends you, MyFeeds reads it and figures out which column is the price, which is the image, which is the link. You don’t have to learn the format.

How it works

1. Drop your affiliate product feed URL into MyFeeds.
2. Every product is imported and stored locally in your WordPress database. The plugin figures out the column structure on its own.
3. In any post or page, add the MyFeeds Product Picker block. Search by name, brand, or category. Click to insert.
4. The published page renders a responsive product card with the current price, image, brand, shipping, and your affiliate link. All served direct from your database, with no external call on render.

The next day the nightly sync refreshes what changed. The week after, a full import catches everything else. You don’t think about it.

What’s in the box

• Universal feed import. Almost any format your program hands you, detected automatically.
• Smart Mapping. Automatic recognition of common feed structures, with a manual editor for anything custom.
• Smart Search inside the block editor with synonym handling and multi-language support.
• Native Gutenberg Product Picker block with live in-editor search.
• Responsive product grid with prices, brands, shipping, and your affiliate links.
• Background imports. Large feeds process without locking your admin.
• Nightly auto-sync and weekly full re-import, scheduled and quiet.
• Honest pricing. What the feed publishes is what visitors see. No silent currency assumptions.
• Works with any WordPress theme that supports the block editor.

A few things worth saying out loud

• No CSV downloads, no FTP, no spreadsheet uploads, no manual price updates.
• Self-hosted. The frontend never contacts an external service to render a product.
• If your program publishes a feed file you can download, MyFeeds will almost certainly import it.

Related paid plugins

This plugin is fully functional on its own. Separate, independent paid plugins called MyFeeds Pro and MyFeeds Business are available at myfeeds.site. They add things like a carousel block, a visual card designer with Google Fonts, click and conversion analytics, and a full multi-feed shop system. They are not required to use this plugin.

External Services

This plugin connects to external services only when the site administrator chooses to configure a feed that uses them. No external services are contacted on the frontend or for visitors.

AWIN Publisher API

When you add an AWIN feed in the WordPress admin, the plugin calls the AWIN Publisher API on your behalf to verify your publisher credentials, look up your approved advertisers, and resolve their feed download URLs so the import job knows where to pull the product feed from.

• What data is sent: your AWIN publisher ID, the advertiser ID, and your AWIN API key (passed as an HTTP header). No WordPress user data, no visitor data, and nothing from the frontend is transmitted.
• When it is sent: only in the WordPress admin, when you open the AWIN feed setup dialog, verify credentials, or trigger a feed refresh. No frontend page view ever calls this API.
• Where it is sent: https://api.awin.com/, AWIN’s official publisher API endpoint.
• Why: AWIN requires publishers to fetch feed download URLs via their API rather than hard-coding them, because the URLs are rotated and tied to your publisher account.

AWIN’s terms of service and privacy policy apply to this data exchange:

• Terms of Service: https://www.awin.com/gb/publisher-terms
• Privacy Policy: https://www.awin.com/gb/legal/privacy-policy

Configured product feed URL (your affiliate network)

To import products, the plugin downloads the feed file from the URL you save in the Feed Manager. The feed URL points to your affiliate network’s product feed export, in CSV, TSV, XML, or JSON format.

• What data is sent: an HTTP GET request to the feed URL with a User-Agent header identifying the WordPress site and plugin version. No publisher credentials, user data, or visitor data are sent in the request body.
• When it is sent: in the WordPress admin only, when you click “Reimport”, and on the configured cron schedule (nightly quick sync and weekly full import). The frontend never calls the feed URL.
• Where it is sent: to the host in the feed URL you configure. The plugin does not share that URL with any third party.

Because the feed URL itself is provided by an affiliate network, the privacy and terms of that download are governed by that network. Please refer to your network’s terms of service and privacy policy for details on what they record about feed downloads.

No data is sent to any other external service. The plugin stores imported products in your own WordPress database and serves them from there; the frontend never contacts an external host to render a product.
