Does publishing a feed help competitors scrape my prices?

Your prices are on your public product pages already. A feed changes who can read them cheaply, not who can read them, and the party it most helps is the agent deciding whether to recommend you.

Why it happens

A feed collapses dozens of fetches and dozens of parsing decisions into one document with a known shape. Every field the agent reads from a feed is a field it did not have to infer from your layout, and inference is where agents get facts wrong.

Feeds also carry the fields that page markup most often omits, particularly the full variant grid and per variant stock. An agent asked for a specific size can answer from a feed without loading a page at all.
