Datafeed App
The Kiss Datafeed App is a small Windows application that automatically downloads your product catalogue and live stock levels as CSV files on a schedule you control. It's built for trade partners who want reliable, up-to-date data on disk without writing any integration code.
What you get
- Two CSV files —
products.csvandstock.csv— refreshed automatically on the schedule you set. - A simple configuration tool for entering your credentials, picking an output folder, and choosing how often to sync.
- A background service that runs continuously, signs in to the Kiss data service for you, and writes the files when they're due.
- An image archive download for grabbing the current product image pack on demand.
How it works in plain terms
Once installed, the Datafeed App quietly checks the clock every few seconds. When a scheduled sync is due, it signs in to Kiss using the credentials you saved, fetches the latest data, and writes the CSV files into the output folder you chose. That's it — there's nothing to click and nothing to remember. If a sync fails, the app records what went wrong in its log and tries again on the next tick.

Where your data stays
The Datafeed App runs entirely on your machine. The only outbound
connection it makes is to the Kiss data endpoint to fetch your data.
It does not send analytics, crash reports, or any other telemetry. Your
CSVs, configuration, credentials, and logs all stay under %ProgramData%\Kiss\Datafeed
on the machine where the app is installed.
