Image Archive
The Datafeed App provides a one-click shortcut to download the current Kiss product image archive. This is useful if you want to:
- Refresh the local image cache used by your website or PIM.
- Get a fresh set of images for a print catalogue or marketing material.
The image archive is on-demand only — it is not part of the scheduled product/stock sync.
How to download
- Open the Kiss Datafeed Configuration tool.
- Select Image Download in the left-hand navigation rail.
- Click the "Click here to download current image archive" button.
The button opens your default web browser pointed at the current image-archive URL. Your browser downloads the archive to whichever location your browser is configured to save downloads — typically the Downloads folder for the user account you opened the app under.
What you get
The archive is a .zip file containing the current Kiss product
imagery. The Datafeed App itself does not save or unpack the archive —
it simply hands the URL off to your browser. Once the download is
complete you can move, unzip, or import the file as your downstream
process requires.
Notes
- The archive is the same image set across all Kiss trade customers — it is not scoped to your account.
- Image archives can be large. Make sure you have enough free disk space in your browser's download location before clicking.
- The download is handled by your browser, not the app, so you can pause, resume, or cancel it using the browser's download manager.
- If your browser is configured to ask where to save downloads, you'll get the usual save dialog. Otherwise the file lands in your default Downloads folder.
How often should you refresh?
You only need to download the image archive when you want a fresh copy. A practical rhythm is:
- Weekly or monthly, depending on how often your downstream system needs fresh images.
- On demand after Kiss tells you a major catalogue refresh has happened.
