E-commerce store owners must update their users with new content and make the store easily accessible to them. However, with the tough competition and lack of time, the users cannot take the time out to find your store.
Hence, RSS feed plays an important role to fetch the latest content of your store and serve it to the subscribers. As Magento 2 is the widely used E-commerce platform, I’ve come up with a guide to set up Magento 2 RSS feed.

What is RSS Feed?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or RDF Site Summary. It is an XML-based data format that is used to publish your content online to customers and who register to follow the update of your products and promotions. Let the subscribers get information about any updates in your products, new blogs, discounts offered with an automated email.
