Extend and customize SaaS data export feed data

The Commerce Data Export extension provides a way to export data from the Commerce application to Commerce Services like Live Search, Catalog Service, and Product Recommendations. If needed, you can extend and customize the feed data to include additional attribute data or modify the collected data.

After adding attribute data, it is accessible from the attributes field in the GraphQL schema for storefront service.

Extend system attributes data in the products feed

The products feed includes default system attributes which are required for product processing or commonly used by consumers. You can include additional system attributes in the products feed by adding them to the feed.

To complete this task, update the magento/catalog-data-exporter module to add the additional system attributes to the dependency injection configuration file (di.xml).

Add the attributes to the Product Attribute query(Magento\CatalogDataExporter\Model\Query\ProductAttributeQuery).

Example

    <type name="Magento\CatalogDataExporter\Model\Query\ProductAttributeQuery">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="systemAttributes" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="news_from_date" xsi:type="string">news_from_date</item>
                ...
                <item name="some_system_attribute_code">some_system_attribute_code</item>
            </argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>

Add product attributes to Adobe Commerce

Developers can add product attributes that are accessible from the product attributes field by using one of the following methods:

Add the attribute to Adobe Commerce

You can add a product attribute from the Commerce Admin, or programmatically using a custom PHP module to define the attribute and update Adobe Commerce. This is the simplest method for adding a product attribute because you can add the attribute and all required metadata. The new attribute and its metadata properties are exported to the SaaS services automatically during the next scheduled synchronization.

Create the product attribute from the Admin

See Create product attributes in the Adobe Commerce Admin Guide.

Create the product attribute programmatically

Add a product attribute programmatically by creating a data patch that implements the DataPatchInterface, and instantiate a copy of the EavSetup Factory class within the constructor to configure the attribute options.

When you define the attribute options, all attribute parameters except type, label, and input are optional. Define the following additional options and any other options that differ from the default settings.

For information about creating data patches, see Develop data and schema patches in the PHP Developer Guide.

Add the product attribute dynamically

For details about creating product attributes dynamically without introducing new Eav Attributes, see Add attribute dynamically.
