sorry i think i have not able to explain what i need to have is a way to add expire date to eash product so on that date product should discontinue from the website.
when i was looking at demo i saw this VALIDFROM and VALIDUNTIL using validtil can product to be disapper from web so user can not use that product. basicly i am looking at this option so i can make coupon to disapper from website so user cannot pick or use after the given date.
thanks

Hi yogi,
I see what you want to do, but the coding to implment this is quite complex and also requires scheduled processes to run in order to perform the product removal. Whilst feeds do contain other fields such as VALIDUNTIL, this is not a field that is imported as it is not part of the basic product info set (Name, Description, Image URL, Buy URL or Price).
Ultimately, if a product is no longer available at an offer price it should no longer be in the feed at that price, which is why I think that a more frequent update of your feed is the best solution in this instance. If the feed still contains products with prices that are no longer available I would recommend contacting the merchant to see if it is possible that the feed could reflect the real live pricing available at the time you download it...
Cheers,
David.
Hi Yogi,
What I would recommend in this instance is to increase your merchant feed download / import proceedure, and if you haven't already have a look at automating the process. This will mean that any products no longer available will be removed by virtue of the fact that they are no longer in the feed...
Cheers,
David.
