Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[spawnie69]

I did exactly what RescoCCC mentioned and added a space before the word inches so i would appear appropriate " inches".
and I now have 530 of 530 items inserted (View warnings). Which is AWESOME!!

Here were my only 2 warnings only effecting 3 of my 530 items which I can live with:
Missing recommended attribute: image link (2 warnings)

Thank you RescoCCC for all you help!

Using Zen cart 1.3.9

Just installed this , today obviously..

When I go to google, i have it download the file from http://www.google.com/merchants/bulkuploads -- and clicking "edit" "update and fetch"

After it processes, it shows 150 of 152 items entered (view errors)

I view the errors, and this is one of the biggest ones..

Missing recommended attribute: google product category (152 warnings)

and

Missing recommended attribute: product type (152 warnings)

and

Missing required attribute: availability (152 errors, only affecting Product Search, Search API for Shopping)

I'm so lost, i set my main options for this to show items with 0 quantity, and default of 0=5
Do I have to have an "available" date on all the products?

This thread is closed due to old information. On Sept, 22, Google started gradually enforcing the new Google products feed spec requirements. If you want your question to be answered you will have to go to the New Google Merchant Thread Here.
What part of old and closed does people not understand.

Just download the feed file from your Google Merchant Center account and upload it back in to the /feed folder on your site.

ver 1.3.9h

Although I can upload my feed successfully, I get four attribute errors (see below) , that prevent my product feeds from Product Search.

Messages and errors below. The attribute errors are a bit cryptic and don't show exactly where and what errors are..?

"Missing required attribute: availability (500 errors, only affecting Product Search, Search API for Shopping)

While items missing recommended attributes will process successfully, we recommend including relevant attributes if they are available.

Attribure errors:
Missing recommended attribute: brand

Expiration date is too far in the future

Missing recommended attribute: mpn

Missing recommended attribute: google product category "

These errors are common.
Here is what you need to do:

Availability: Go to Admin--Catalog---Categories/Products. For each product ensure that you have a number for Products Quantity. Further in Admin--Configuration--Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration, ensure you have suitable values for Show Quantity, Include Zero Quantity and Default Quantity


Brand: Go to Admin--Catalog---Categories/Products. Select a Manufacturer for all your products. Or at least those that you want listed through this feed.

Expiration date....: Go to Admin--Configuration--Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration. Look for Expiration Date Base, Select "Now" as the option. Then look for Expiration Date Adjust, Enter "29" here. (Google does not accept more than 30)

mpn: Go to Admin--Catalog---Categories/Products. Enter a value for the Product Model.

Product Category: Go to Admin--Configuration--Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration---Default Product Category. You will need to select the correct category for your products from http://www.google.com/support/mercha...?answer=160081 and enter the value here. Choose the value in XML (Google gives you the options). Enter it here and its done.
