How to Use Your LPG Stock Feed
Let’s Play Games supplies a stock feed to our customers that contains a detailed list of all our currently offered products. This is no more than a simple CSV document.
You can find a link to your stock feed under My Stock Feed in the website footer and in the dropdown under My Account.
This stock feed is regenerated daily at midnight.
Do any of these apply to you?
- You want to begin automating your buying / selling process from Let’s Play Games
- You want to open a new online store and need product data to populate it
- You have an established online store and want to stay up-to-date with new items
- You want to sync your inventory levels / pricing with ours in your store / POS
- You are looking to dramatically increase your product range
If so, we recommend stock feed integration. This can be done in two main ways:
- Direct manual upload of our stock feed into your ecommerce store
- Development work by your business to automate the syncing of our stock feed with your ecommerce store / POS

Below is a detailed list of the content of the stock feed. Please read this carefully before integrating this information into your website.
