  9. Check the following checkboxes: Products and Export
  10. Click the Save button

Our system will log in as this user each time the data feed runs, to generate and download the product data export XML file.

When adding the feed on our site, you will need the domain of your store and the username/password of the Volusion admin user that you created.

(Note, do not use saved exports. The saved export files are incomplete.)
