    However, I don't really know the search results will include 'out of stock' items or not.

    The reason to include 'out of stock' items in the feed, is to let customers know items may back in stock later.

    I will try another <g:availability> value 'preorder', just using find and replace with some text editor.
    Let see search results will include 'preorder' items or not.
    What happens when you confirm and read your .xml file?

    What does it say?

    The data feed status is all items inserted when I have some items <g:availability>out of stock</g:availability>

    However, seems I cannot find it in Google shopping search result for those out of stock items.

    Now I changed them to <g:availability>available for order</g:availability>

    This is also accepted according to their Four predefined values accepted:

    * 'in stock'
    * 'available for order'
    * 'out of stock'
    * 'preorder'


    My solution is using text editor and find <g:quantity>0</g:quantity>

    replace it with

    <g:quantity>0</g:quantity><g:availability>available for order</g:availability>

    Hummmm not sure if 0 is a good idea.

    You can leave it at available for order if that is what you choose.

    You have confirmed, uploaded to google and everything is ok except attribute availability?

    If so, your search will be not be visible for about 24-48 hours.

    im running version 1.3.8 zencart with merchant 1.12.0 and have an issue.
    I have 109 products around 80 in stock and the rest out of stock.
    The feed is uploading ok but with warnings but it is only uploading 73 items of which it is inserting only 72.
    the items it is not inserting are in stock, there are items that are out of stock that have been inserted.

    there is a feed level message and 2 warnings.

    XML formatting error - Error

    interestingly if I try and open the product feed through zencart I get the following error message.

    For this particular type of problem you will need to download your feed, open it up in an editor, view the error and fix it.

    Once this error is resolved you will have to download a fresh copy each time an error appears because the lines & columns change.

    I had this problem continuously until all my errors were fixed.

    More important information for the Googler's:


    exemptions are only for the
    three global-trade attributes --
    gtin, mpn, brand --
    nothing else.

    google_product_category
    classifies the physical item --
    regardless of age or condition --
    and must be an exact google value.

    a google_product_category value cannot
    be changed, modified, or augmented in
    any way whatsoever; you cannot change
    any google_product_category value.

    I have question that is sort of linked to the 'out of stock' issues some other posters have mentioned.

    We have products that can only be purchased in store due to Sony's requirements. But we want these products to appear on Google Shopping so that customers who are interested can visit the showroom & purchase them.

    Now we have set these products as 'call for price' via the admin section. On the page it does display the product price but simply has 'This product can only be bought in store' as the only option. You can view the product here .

    The products are listed as in stock and have quantity assigned to them. Does anyone know how we can get these products to be generated by the Google Merchant Centre Feed?

    Has anyone else noticed
    HTML Code:
    <g:product_type></g:product_type>
    being left out on some items?

    In version 1.12.00 we have one item that is missing the product type tag every time a feed is generated but all other 500+ items have the product type tag. I can't figure out why just the one item isn't getting it.

    Maybe a stupid question, But even they need answered lol,,

    Our site sells a variety of items of different descriptions,, in Google Taxonomy can i add more than one catergory because only choosing one from the tree master category wont include other items,,

    for example if i had this items i could add this :

    Arts &amp; Entertainment &gt; Collectables &gt; Rocks &amp; Fossils

    then : Office Supplies &gt; General Office Supplies &gt; Labels &amp; Tags
