Hello!

Which plugins do you use?
I am looking for a tested solution. I sent you an email also.
Could you please provide more info about the whole process? I don´t know anything about Facebook etc.

What I need is the result of the screenshot.

Thank you for your help

Hello,

That´s exactly what I am looking for. I suppose FB catalogue is also updating, every time you change something on web, right?
Could you tell me step by step the process?

Thank you very much!

Hi,
183€ is too expensive for me. I was looking for a free solution.  8)
Do you know any free or cheaper plugin :-[ to export the products to XML?

Of course.

You can try any export app, who create products feed from VirtueMart.
