The XML Feed can be imported as follows:

Go to Sources
Click on 'New Product source

Enter the following settings:
- Name: the name of the Product Feed
- Store url : the basic URL of the shop (for example https://myshop.com). Note: also indicate whether the shop uses the http or https protocol.
- Link type: select 'Feed url
- Import interval : the interval in hours in which the XML feed will be imported. Note: the interval only starts when the import of the feed is completely finished. So suppose the interval is 1 hour, the feed will be imported at 01:00, then the import can take 10 minutes and the next import will be at 02:10.
- Feed url: the URL where the XML Feed is live
- Feed language: the language of the XML feed. You can override this by using the language attribute, see: Set up the XML Feed (EN)

Click on 'Save Product source

Go to Stores
Click on the import log icon:

Check whether the data corresponds with the settings.

By default, product field values are left as is when not present in a feed. By enabling this option product field values that are not present in a feed will be emptied.
In other words; we always replace the product data with that of the most recent feed.
