Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[vitalwares]

Hi,

I already submit a sitemap.xml to google, so will adding this google base feeder do something in addition to this ? If yes please explain exactly what or point to the right place for this info.

Grateful for your time and help on this.

Is anyone successfully using Google Base Feeder v1.6.7 successfully with ZC V1.3.8a and SEO URLs? Looks like a good time saver, but doesn't version compatibilty in downloads section.

Thanks!

Another newbie here who seems to rapidly be losing his hair...
Every time I try and upload a file, it fails. When I check with Google why, I get:

Google Checkout is not supported for this item type. 463

I am getting this for every single item. I have a google checkout account, and the datafeed I created on Base is for item type: Products, which according to Google is what I should use, so I am at a loss.....

Anyone got any ideas??

This is a Very handy tool. It submits your products (for free) to google base, which is an online shopping site. Your products will be added to http://www.google.com/products
It has really helped me!

Yes I understand that its a good tool but my question is 'Does this tool add value if you are already submitting a sitemap to google.' and if the answer is yes then exactly what is the value add?

The answer is yes. The sitemap.xml does not add to Froogle, it just gives Google an index of your site.

There are different things.

Sitemaps is for google indexing your site to show up at google.com

Google Base Feeder is to insert in Froogle (aka Google Base, aka Google Products, aka Google Shopping) all or the category of prodcust you want to insert in its product comparation site, like Yahoo Shopping

Hope clarifies why 2 different modules

[OJM]

Just upgrade my Google Feed install, with the hope that it would feed through my sale prices, instead of the original price of the items, however it's still only feeding the original price.

Could someone tell me how to feed the sale price, or at least the price that the customer pays - be it sale price, standard price or specials price etc?

Many thanks!
