Hi! I know we can create an RSS feed for one collection, but can we create it for all our collections? How will the link look? Thanks in advance!

@calartcreations  Pretty sure you can only rss one collection at a time https://www.zazzle.com/sell/developers/rss due to the way they are set up

I know diddly about RSS feeds but my curiosity leads me to ask, couldn't you create one for all your collections by using the format???:

@Baylee  http://feed.zazzle.com/store/whateverstore/collections/rss gives a 404

It's how the collections are set up - by collection id (numerical) - I don't think the rss can read them for a particular store (I could be wrong though)

Hi all, I can confirm we do not support multiple collections via the RSS feed.

As alternatives:

If all of your Products in your Collections are in YOUR Store, you can do a Feed of your store. This is the example Zazzle uses: http://feed.zazzle.com/store/strk3/rss 

If you're wanting to do a Feed of all of your Products across all of YOUR Stores, you can add an unusual Tag to all of your Products and pull a Query Search RSS Feed: https://feed.zazzle.com/rss?qs=weirdkeyword

If you're wanting a Feed of Collections across other people's Products, then you're out of luck, except to create one big ol' Collection with all of those products, and I think we're limited to 300 Products per Collection.

Many many moons ago I created some rss reeds and they were useful.  The readers — I can’t even remember their names — one by one went away.  What reader are you using?  And has Zazzle fixed the feed? There were reports months ago that the feed was broken.

I pull Collection feeds into my own website, so it's an integrated website.  Some WordPress plugin I installed eons ago and that I modified to my needs.  I also use them to drip Product posts to social media -- those are Collections of other people's Products mostly. 

Like all things Zazzle, they break occasionally for a short period and then come back.  I suspect Zazzle has their own uses for them, and that's why they're always fixed. 😉
