Access Catalog > Settings > XML\n2. Create an XML feed and get its URL\n3. This URL will be in HTTP and when using it on any system that requires HTTPS, a redirect must be made that will cause the parameters that come in the URL to be lost.\n\n## Workaround\n\nSuggested architecture:\n1. We suggest using the Search API to consume the catalog;\n2. Generate the desired XML;\n3. Expose the XML in an environment with HTTPS that allows it to be consumed externally.\n\nThis strategy is not only a workaround but also the suggested strategy for scalability and XML feed handling in large catalogs since it's possible to update the feed as often as needed, optimize the size of the XML and make it lighter, as well as have more product targeting options."}
