YML Collections

Extends the stock YML feed with data about store categories — collections. It opens catalogue page ad formats in Yandex Direct, and the same data is used by Yandex Business, Yandex Products, 2GIS and VK Products.

YML Collections
$60.00

Since 2024 Yandex Direct expects a YML feed to describe not only products but category pages as well — without them the catalogue page ad formats in performance and product campaigns are unavailable, and Direct warns that the file is incomplete when it is uploaded. The stock CS-Cart add-on does not export that data.

What goes into the feed

  • The URL of the category page on the site.
  • Category images: the main one and additional ones, if they are uploaded.
  • The category name.
  • The category description — the text from the category, stripped of HTML markup.

What it gives you

Ad formats for catalogue pages open up, not just for individual products. The same block of data is picked up by Yandex Business, Yandex Products, 2GIS and VK Products — one add-on covers the needs of several platforms at once.

What to keep in mind

There are no new fields to fill in — the add-on uses the category data you already have. The settings and behaviour of the stock Yandex.Market export are unchanged, the database is not modified and no other part of the store is touched.

Support and updates

Connecting to Direct and the other platforms is covered in the documentation. Six months of free updates, questions through HelpDesk.

FAQ

Do I have to reconfigure the Yandex.Market export?

No, the add-on extends the existing feed and does not change the stock export settings.

Do I need to fill in new category fields?

No, the existing category name, description and images are used.

Two add-ons that change how a store performs

Everything else we publish improves one screen. These two change the numbers: how customers find products, and how often they come back.

 

Add-on · Search & merchandising

Smart Search

Elasticsearch-powered search for large catalogues. The customer types two letters, sees products with images and prices, and buys from the dropdown — even after a typo or with the wrong keyboard layout.

Visitors who use the search bar are 24% of traffic and 44% of revenue, and convert about 2.5× better than people who only browse categories. If search returns nothing, up to 80% of them leave.
Constructor, Beyond Relevance Report 2025; Google Cloud × The Harris Poll, 2023

Catalogue size Sub-second results on 300,000+ products, Multi-Vendor included
Understands Typos, wrong keyboard layout, synonyms, word forms, SKUs, brands and attributes
Reporting Query analytics — what customers search for and which searches return nothing
Deployment Our cloud, or Elasticsearch on your own server

from $35/month

Add-on · Mobile commerce

PowerApp — mobile app for your store

A native iOS and Android app running on your CS-Cart data: the same products, prices, stock, promotions, reward points and orders. There is no second catalogue to maintain — everything stays in the admin panel you already use.

A mobile site brings a customer in once; an app brings them back for free. Push notifications replace the retargeting budget you spend to buy the same customer a second time.

Platforms Native iOS and Android, published under your own developer account
Home screen Built in the admin panel from six block types, the same way you build website pages
Time to launch Under a week from purchase to submission for App Store and Google Play review
Compatibility CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.18–4.20 · 11 client apps already live in the stores

Services

When no add-on solves it, we do the work

Fixed scope, written specification, a named project manager and a warranty on what we ship.

Custom CS-Cart development

Functionality the platform does not have: add-ons, marketplace mechanics, integrations with 1C, CRM, ERP, payment and delivery providers. We start from a written specification, not from an estimate on a phone call. Details →

CS-Cart upgrade

Move to the current version without losing data, custom code or add-ons. We audit every modification first, upgrade on a staging copy, adapt what breaks and switch over with little or no downtime. Details →

Speed and performance optimisation

Conversion falls by about 4.4% for every extra second of load time. We profile the server, the database and the front-end, then fix what actually costs the seconds — and show you the before-and-after numbers. Details →

Design for CS-Cart

Mobile-first storefront design built on CS-Cart's own template structure, so the layout survives the next platform upgrade instead of becoming a migration problem. Details →

SEO for CS-Cart

A technical audit of indexing, duplicates, redirects, structured data and Core Web Vitals — delivered as a prioritised fix list your developers can act on, or that we implement ourselves. Details →

How we work

What you get besides the code

Before we start

We discuss the goal, offer options and write the specification. You approve scope and price before development begins.

While we build

A named project manager reports progress on a fixed schedule. You always know what is in work and what is next.

Before release

A separate QA pass on every release — the developer who wrote the code is not the person who signs it off.

After handover

Documentation for everything we ship, plus a warranty on the modifications and the project.

Tell us what the store needs to do

Describe the task in a couple of sentences and we will come back with options, a scope and a price. The consultation is free, and we will say plainly if a ready-made add-on already solves it.
