New Products and Orders RSS feeds

We just added two RSS channels to LemonStand – one for the order list and another for the new product list.

Recent Orders RSS channel

The Orders RSS feed is available for LemonStand users that have permission to work with the order list in the LemonStand Administration Area. You can subscribe to the feed by clicking the RSS link above the order list. The feed is protected, so authentication is needed in order to view the feed content. Your feed reader application will ask you to enter your user name and password. You would use the same credentials as you use for logging into the Administration Area.

The feed contains a list of recent orders. Each entry in the feed contains an order description, order number, creation date and time, customer description and a list of order items. You can click the link inside the feed entry to open the Order Preview page in a browser.

New products RSS channel

Using this feature you offer a New Products feed on your store website for customers. The implementation is very simple, just create a new page and call the Shop_Product:get_rss() method. The feed contains a list of recently added products. For each product its title, description, product image (if available) and a link to the product details page are presented.
