Sure enough the feed folder was not set to 777 though.

Also added the Debug php you provided.

I stumbled in here looking for some ideas on why my products are not showing up within Google Products.

Everything gets uploaded just fine. All products show "active and searchable". Just not actually showing up within Google Products.

Maybe..., just maybe the feed folder setting was the problem.

I uploaded to products Google again..

Crossing my fingers ! :smile:

Hurray!! :clap:

Give it some time to show up in Google...I believe it takes about 48 hours.

As long as it says active and searching...it is most likely processing....

Now, set your cron tab once a day... and YOU are in!

Well, gosh....

Been a couple days and only one item is showing up within Google Products. It is the most recently added item to inventory just prior to making the above changes.

Except for the cron tab.. Will have to read up on that :huh:

Sorry to be a pain if this has been asked before, but how can I change google base feeder to submit my prices including VAT ? :blush:

Google excluded our feed in January :shocking: because our prices weren't including VAT. :no: The only way I've been able to submit a feed since in through downloading a tab delimited version of the feed and editing it myself. Timeconsuming and brainhurting :frusty:

So now I'm hoping to get it automated again. Any help?

Thanks :mellow:

Thanks for the help. I haven't installed this mod yet because my developer isn't getting back to me, but I'm going to. One problem I'm having with the manual feed is that my pictures don't show up. I think my problem is this:

Images are in an unsupported format
Please make sure that your images are in one of our supported formats and their filenames include the appropriate extensions. In addition, to successfully process an image, its associated URL must link to an image file rather than to a script.

I copy and pasted the link from the picture. Instead, I guess you need the image location with file extension (i.e. .jpg). How or where do i get the image file location? When I click on a picture in my cart I only see a link?

Try this:

http://www.google.com/products?authorid=xxxxx

Enter your OWN authorid (it's your google merchant number). It's a 7 digit number. Log-in your merchant account and it will show your ID at the top. Replace that with the xxxxxxx.

Also, look at your feeds on your google merchant account. Do all the products say searchable soon?

Hope that helps.

Hi, I am not sure how VAT works with Zen Cart but you do you need have it. A simple guess would be to add the VAT within admin and re-submit the feed.

Hope that helps.

Same thing... Just the one item pops up.

Products show "Published and searchable" status...

Well that good! It just takes awhile to get into their server. You just have to be patient. If there is any problems they will email you automatically.

I believe in some countries a website's pricing MUST include the VAT. I imagine that this means for these same countries that they must do the same when listing products in Google..

Sorry.. Gotta ask.

What does VAT stand for ? :blush:
