XML transformation

How to remove XML offers without an image

2026-06-20
Task

An XML feed should export only offer elements with a filled picture element.

Short answer

Enable an element-level export condition on offer: the picture path must be not empty.

How to do it in Eofferix

  1. Open the XML snapshot and select the offer node.
  2. Set export scope to the whole element.
  3. Add a condition: /catalog/offers/offer/picture is not empty.
    XML offer export condition with non-empty picture
    The condition is set on offer, so a product without an image is not exported at all.
  4. Download a demo result and confirm that products without images are removed entirely.

What matters for the result

  • Place the condition on offer, not only on picture; otherwise you may get an empty field instead of removing the product.
  • If XML contains several picture elements, check the path that is actually required by the marketplace.
  • After saving the template, run the transformation on the final step and verify that offers without images are gone entirely.
