To make your ecommerce store more successful, it is important to make products more visible and easily accessible to customers. Sometimes users don’t have time to visit the store to check the latest products, discounts, new offers etc. In that case, RSS feed plays a vital role for both store and customers.
So, today in this guide, I am going to tell you the method of how to configure RSS Feeds in Magento 2, a leading ecommerce platform. Before starting configuration, let’s talk about RSS first.
