Google Shopping is a free Google service allowing customers to find and compare products they want to buy online. If you are an online merchant, you can submit all your products to Google Shopping and attract potential customers by allowing them to view your products more easily.
Google Merchant Center is a tool that helps you upload your store and product data to Google and make it available for Shopping ads and other Google services. Learn more about getting starting with Merchant Center
In order to submit your products to Google Shopping, you need to create a Google Merchant Account. Click on the following link for further information on creating an account: https://www.google.com/support/merchants/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=188924
This account gives access to the Google Merchant interface. There you can manage all your product data feeds and plan any daily, weekly or monthly updating tasks.
A data feed is a file made up of a unique group of attributes that define each one of your products. This allows customers to search and find your items more easily. This file is similar to an RSS data feed but includes some specific XML tags used by Google Merchant Center or any other shopping engine.
To know more about the product data feeds, have a look to the Google Merchant Center support site: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188478?hl=en
Simple Google Shopping and Data Feed Manager are two Magento extensions that allow you to quickly configure, generate and automate several product data feeds.
Before being able to configure your data feeds, you should configure the extension in a general way. To do so, go to
System › Configuration › Wyomind › Simple Google Shopping
In the Core Settings tab, you'll need to configure a certain number of fields.
You'll be able to choose which type of URL to use in your data feed. You can choose between 3 options:
Product url, Shortest category url or Longest category url.
For example, if you have a "T-shirt" in 2 categories: "New arrivals" and "Shirts", the URLs may be:
Product Url = http://mywebsite.com/t-shirt.html
Shortest category url = http://www.mywebsite.com/men/shirts/t-shirt.html
Longest category url = http://mywebsite.com/men/new-arrivals/t-shirt.html
To create/configure your own data feed, you need to go to:
Catalog › Simple Google Shopping
There, click on Create a new data feed.
You now have to configure your data feed as you want.
When creating a data feed, you should see a blackbox on the right of your screen. The Simple Google Shopping extension includes that tool to help you create your feed and see what is wrong.
The blackbox is inevitably a very useful tool. This will help you to configure your data feed more quickly.
Below are the different options of the blackbox.
This button allows you to check if your syntax is correct. It helps you to see if you have forgotten a bracket or a comma by underlining in yellow the part of text that contains a mistake.
If you click on that button, a library of your store attributes will be displayed. This makes it easier to find very quickly which attribute you need to add into your template.
When clicking on Data preview, you'll see a preview of your data feed. It's very useful to see if the values of your attributes are correctly retrieved or if your filters are working.
When clicking on that button, it will display a report on the errors and warnings of your data feed.
In that first tab is the main configuration of the data feed. You'll find several fields to fill in that will allow you to customize your feed.
In the Categories tab, you will find 2 sections that will allow you to manage your categories. The first section allows filtering products by categories.
You can filter products depending on the categories according to two different ways:
For example, if you wish to include only products of the Apparel category, you can configure your filter in two different ways.
First of all by ticking the Include option that will allow you to include all categories that you have selected.
Or via the Exclude option that will exclude all categories you have selected.
You'll be able to include or exclude your categories depending on:
Imagine you have a configurable product with simple variants associated. The configurable has a category assigned but not the variants. In that case, you'll need to select Parent categories only.
On the contrary, if you have categories assigned to simple variants but not to the configurable product, you'll need to select Product categories only.
In the case where you have both situations, you can select Product and parent categories.
In that section, you can map your categories to Google ones. This step is very important so that Google can make a link between their product categories and yours.
For example, if you're selling furniture like coffee tables, you'll have a Coffee table category in your Magento admin. But Google Merchant doesn't handle this kind of category. The closest Google product category could be Kitchen & Dining Room Table.
Taxonomy files for the main countries are directly included to allow you to map your categories more easily. You can also have a look to our faq to know how to add a new taxonomy file.
For each category, you have a little arrow followed by mapped as . There, you'll be able to start typing a keyword in order to display a list of all categories including that keyword. You simply need to select the one you need.
Once all your categories are mapped, you can click on Save.
Here are a few guide lines for choosing the most appropriate category:
www.youtube.com/embed/QNXtwEm7FPo?rel=0
Finally, so that the Google category is retrieved in your data feed, you must add the following attribute to the XML template:
{G:GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY}or
<g:google_product_category>{category_mapping,[0]}</g:google_product_category><g:product_type> is for the categories that you have defined independently in your Magento back-office.You can easily fill this XML section using {G:PRODUCT_TYPE} . This will then retrieve for each one of your products, the category you have assigned to it.

The Google product taxonomy is a tree of categories that will help you generate values for the 'Google product category' attribute. It lists all possible values for the 'Google product category' attribute.
In that page, choose the language you want to use for your taxonomy at the bottom right. Then, in the Downloadable taxonomy, open the Plain Text link that contains full category names.
Save that file and paste it in:
Magento Root Directory › Lib › Wyomind › google
Don't forget to apply the permissions 755 to the file.
You'll then be able to choose that specific taxonomy from your data feed configuration.
Simple Google Shopping also allows you to filter your products on several levels according to their attribute sets or their visibility for example.
In the Advanced filters, you can go further by setting more personalized filters.
For example, we wanted to include only products which price is higher than 0, and which SKU and name are not null.
Here again, you have the possibility to configure your advanced filters according to several options.
name like %shirt: will include all products which name ends with 'shirt
name like Apple%: will include all products which name starts with 'Apple'
name like %women%: will include all products which name contains the 'women' character string
name not like %shirt: won't include any product which name ends with 'shirt'
name not like Apple%: won't include any product which name starts with 'Apple'
name not like %women%: won't include any product which name contains the 'women' character string.
Special price is null: will include all products that don't have special prices
SKU is not null: will include all products which SKU is not null
Brand in Acer, Apple, Sony: will include only products from these 3 brands
Brand not in Dell, Toshiba: will include all products which brand is not Dell or Toshiba.
Brand is equal to Acer: will include only products which brand is Acer
SKU is not ABC123: will include all products which sku is not equal to ABC123
Price is higher than or equal to 1.00: will include all products which price is higher than or equal to 1.00
Advanced filters can be grouped into sub-division by using AND/OR clauses.
(SKU LIKE ABC% AND Brand = Acer) OR (Brand IN Dell, Toshiba AND Price >= 99.99)
The option must be enabled in
System › ConfigURATION › Wyomind › Simple Google Shopping
Simple Google Shopping provides you a fully configurable schedule in the Scheduled task tab of your template configuration for each data feed. You just have to tick the days and hours when you want your feed to be generated.
See also Generate the data feeds automatically through the cron tasks
There are two different ways you can use to generate your data feeds:
You can generate your data feeds automatically using the cron tasks.
First, check that the main cron task is enabled on your server.
If it is disabled, a warning message will appear in Simple Google Shopping.
You have to select the days and time frames for the data feeds you want to update, in the Scheduled Tasks tab.
Simple Google Shopping also provides you a cron job reporting, so you can get email reports on each data feed you will generate.
Simple Google Shopping allows generating data feed via the command lines:
php -f shell/wyomind_simplegoogleshopping.php -- [options]The following options are available:
When a data feed is ready to be downloaded, the link is displayed in both, the data feed grid and the data feed page at the top of the page. You can download the data feed directly by right-clicking + save as or from your ftp client if the directory where the data feed is stored is not publicly accessible.
Go to:
Catalog › Simple Google Shopping
Your data feed will be listed according to IDs.You will find the name of the file, its path as well as the link to the data feed file. You should also get a message that sums up the number of products exported, the time it took and the number of errors and warnings in your data feed.
The status of your data feed will vary according to the situation:
You should find the date and the hour of the last generation of the data feed as well as the Store view taken into account for the data feed.
Those reports do not replace the error reports from Google and are by no means a guarantee that your data feed will be approved by the Google team. This will help you to save time by quickly identifying the main problems of your data feed and by making the necessary changes.
The reports are available:
Next to these errors or warnings, you should see the number of items that are concerned.
By default, the reports will give the 10 first examples ( sku ) that are concerned with each error and warning. You can change that by editing the Items in preview in:
System › ConfigURATION › Wyomind › Simple Google Shopping › Core Settings
<g:id>123456</g:id>
<price>45.99 USD</price><g:id>{sku}</g:id>
<price>{price}</price>
<g:brand>Fixed Brand</g:brand><g:id>{sku}</g:id>

<g:color>{color}</g:color><g:brand>YOUR BRAND</g:brand><title>{name},available in {color}-{size} for only ${price}</title><g:gender><? if (stristr($product->getName(),"dress")) return "Female"; else "Male"; ?></g:gender>
{G:PRODUCT_TYPE}{color | colour | custom_color}If attributeA exists then the value will be attributeA, otherwise, the value will be attributeB, etc...

Most of the time simple products are related to parent products like configurable, grouped and bundle products. That is why you might need to retrieve Parent attribute values instead of simple product attribute values such as url, image, description...
Retrieves the first parent attribute value.
The parent value is retrieved only if the simple (item) product is associated with a parent product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
The parent product may be a configurable, a grouped or a bundle product. The first parent product that matches the simple product is used to get the attribute value.
Eg:
{G:PRODUCT_TYPE parent}
<g:product_type>{categories parent,[last]}</g:product_type>Retrieves the first configurable parent attribute value.
The configurable product value is retrieved only if the simple product is associated to a configurable product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
Eg:
{G:IMAGE_LINK configurable}
<g:image_link>{image configurable}</g:image_link>Retrieves the first grouped parent attribute value.
The grouped product value is retrieved only if the simple product is associated to a grouped product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
Eg :
{G:GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY grouped}
<link>{url grouped}</link>Retrieves the first bundle parent attribute value.
The bundle product value is retrieved only if the simple product is associated to a bundle product, if not, its own attribute value is retrieved.
Eg:
{G:SALE_PRICE bundle}
<g:price>{price bundle}</g:price>Retrieves the product id.
For example:
<g:id>{id}</g:id>Is the shortcut for:
<g:id>{sku}</g:id>You can retrieve the id instead of the sku by adding an option:
{G:ID,[id]}Is the shortcut for:
<g:item_group_id>{sku configurable}</g:item_group_id>Retrieves the product SKU
For example:
<g:mpn>{sku}</g:mpn>Retrieves the brand of the product.
For example:
<g:brand>{brand}</g:brand>Retrieves the brand of the product.
For example:
<g:manufacturer>{manufacturer}</g:manufacturer>Retrieve the product name
For example:
<g:title>{name}</g:title>Is the shortcut for:
<title>{name}</title>Retrieves the description of the product.
For example:
<g:description>{description}</g:description>Is the shortcut for:
<description>{description}</description>You can retrieve the short description instead by adding a parameter:
{G:DESCRIPTION,[short]}Retrieves the short description of the product.
For example:
<g:description>{short_description}</g:description>Retrieves the condition of the product.
For example:
<g:condition>{condition}</g:condition>Retrieves the weight of the product.
For example:
<g:weight>{weight}</g:weight>Retrieves the normal price or the special price if it exists.
For example:
<g:price>{price}</g:price>
You also have the possibility to use 2 parameters with this attribute:
<g:price>{price,[currency],[vat_rate]}</g:price>Here are a few examples:
To convert the prices to EUR and apply a 20% VAT rate:
<g:price>{price,[EUR],[20.0]}</g:price>To convert the prices to EUR excluding tax:
<g:price>{price,[EUR],[0]}</g:price>To convert the prices to EUR and apply the VAT rate that applies for France:
<g:price>{price,[EUR],[FR]}</g:price>To convert the prices to USD and apply the VAT rate that applies in United States / New York:
<g:price>{price,[USD],[US/NY]}</g:price>To convert the prices to USD and remove the VAT that applies in United States / New York::
<g:price>{price,[USD],[-US/NY]}</g:price><g:price>{price,[currency]}</g:price>
Here are some examples:
To convert the prices to EUR
<g:price>{price,[EUR]}</g:price>To convert the prices to USD
<g:price>{price,[USD]}</g:price>Is the shortcut for:
<g:price>{price}</g:price>Retrieves the price and ignores any existing special price value.
For example:<g:price>{normal_price}</g:price>Retrieves the promotional price (special price) if exists.
If this price doesn't exist the value is null.
For example:<g:price>{special_price}</g:price>Retrieves either the price or the special price or the price including the catalog price rules if indicated.
For example:
<g:price>{price_rules}</g:price>You also have the possibility to use some parameters with this attribute:
<g:price>{price_rules,[currency],[vat_rate],[customer_group_id]}</g:price><g:sale_price>{special_price}</g:sale_price>
<g:sale_price_effective_date>{special_from_date}/{special_to_date}</g:sale_price_effective_date><g:price>{normal_price}</g:price>
{G:SALE_PRICE}
For example:
<g:is_special_price>{is_special_price?[yes]:[no]}<g:is_special_price>Retrieves the minimum price.
For example:<g:price>{min_price,[EUR],[20.0]}</g:price>Retrieves the maximum price.
For example:<g:price>{max_price,[EUR],[20.0]}</g:price>Retrieves the product promotion id if exists.
To know more about the use of this attribute, check out our doc on Google Merchant Promotions extension.
<link>{url}</link>
The url attribute can receive the currency code as an url parameter to display the landing page with a specific currency, for example:
<link>{url}?currency=USD</link>
With children of configurable products {url} can be used with 2 additional parameters as follows:
{url,[variant],[force]}
<link>{url,[variant]}</link>
// return for example: https://www.website.com/product-page.html?c=583&391=768#391=768Is the shortcut for:
<link>{url}</link>For example:
<g:image_link>{image,[0]}</g:image_link><g:image_link>{image}</g:image_link>
<g:additional_image_link>{image,[1]}</g:additional_image_link>
<g:additional_image_link>{image,[2]}</g:additional_image_link>
...Retrieves the host url, for example https://www.website.com.
An example with attribute {small_image}:
<g:image_link>{host}/media/catalog/{small_image}</g:image_link><g:url>https://www.mywebsite.com/mystore_code/{url_key}</g:url>Retrieves a list of category paths separated by "," in which the product may be found
{categories,[number_of_category_path],[from_category_level],[number_of_categories_in_each_path]}
Example:
<g:categories>{categories,[INF],[1],[INF]}<g:categories>2 arguments can be used to specify the path separator and the category separator:
{categories,[path_separator],[category_separator]}
Example:
<g:categories>{categories,[,],[>]}<g:categories>Only one argument can be used to get the first or the last (deepest) category path:
Example:
<g:categories>{categories,[last]}<g:categories>
<g:categories>{categories,[first]}<g:categories>A complete list of all categories per product can be retrieved with the following method:
<? $product->getCategoriesArray(); ?><g:product_type>category A > sub-category B </g:product_type>
<g:product_type>category A > sub-category B > sub-category C</g:product_type>Retrieves any new category that you have assigned (in the Categories filter) to the item's own product category. If no mapping is assigned to the first category found, the second category will be used etc.
{category_mapping,[index]}
For example:
<category>{category_mapping,[0]}</category>
<category>{category_mapping,[1]}</category>
<category>{category_mapping,[2]}</category>
<category>{category_mapping,[3]}</category>
<category>{category_mapping,[4]}</category>Will retrieve a maximum of 5 category mappings in 5 separate tags.
Is the shortcut for:
<g:google_product_category>{category_mapping,[0]}</g:google_product_category>This magic attribute retrieves the Google category that you assigned (in filter section/category filter) of the first category found to which the product is linked. If no Google category is assigned to the first category found, the second category will be used, if no Google category is assigned to the second, the third will be used etc.
Options: see {category_mapping}To find the Google categories that match with your categories:
https://www.google.com/support/merchants/bin/answer.py?answer=160081
Retrieves the stock status "in stock" or "out of stock".
For example:
<g:availability>{stock_status,[instock],[outofstock]}</g:availability>is the shortcut for:
<g:availability>{is_in_stock?[in stock]:[out of stock]:[available for order]}</g:availability>Options: see {is_in_stock}
For example:
<g:availability>{is_in_stock?[in stock]:[out of stock]:[preorder]}</g:availability>Retrieves the available quantity.
The quantity retrieved for the configurable products is based on the sum of simple products.
For example:
<g:availability>{qty}</g:availability>Retrieves the gender of the product.
For example:
<g:gender>{gender}</g:gender>Retrieves the age group of the product.
For example:
<g:age_group>{age_group}</g:age_group>Retrieves the color of the product.
For example:
<g:color>{color}</g:color>Retrieves the size of the product.
For example:
<g:size>{size}</g:size>Retrieves the material of the product.
For example:
<g:material>{material}</g:material>Retrieves the pattern of the product.
For example:
<g:pattern>{pattern}</g:pattern>You can apply one or more functions to all attributes by using the following syntax:
{attribute_code,[option1],[option2],[option3],[...]}All options are executed in the written order eg:
<title>{name}</title>
<title>{name,[htmlentities],[strtolower]}</title>
<title>{name,[htmlentities],[strtolower],[ucwords]}</title>will produce:
<title>NOKIA© 2610 Phone</title>
<title>nokia© 2610 phone</title>
<title>Nokia© 2610 Phone</title>Removes all html tags.
For example:
<description>{description,[strip_tags]}</description>Removes all characters that don't belong to the utf8 charset.
For example:
<title>{name,[cleaner]}</title>For example:
<description>{description,[substr],[50],[...]}</description>Transforms the value to upper case.
For example:
<title>{name,[strtoupper]}</title>Transforms the value to lower case.
For example:
<title>{name,[strtolower]}</title>Removes all EOL characters from the value.
For example:
<description>{description,[inline]}</description>Converts all HTML entities to their applicable characters.
For example:
<description>{description,[html_entity_decode]}</description>Converts all applicable characters to HTML entities.
For example:
<description>{description,[htmlentities]}</description>Joins all array elements in a string.
May be useful for multi-select attributes like color.
For example:
<g:color>{color,[implode],[,]}</g:color>will give: black, blue, red, green.
Converts a numeric value to a floating number.
<g:shipping_weight>{weight,[float],[2]}kg</g:shipping_weight>
The Stocks in The Channel users can use the following attributes in order to build their data feeds :
Retrieves the canonical url of the product :
<link>https://www.example.com/product.html</link>Retrieves an unique ean value of the product:
<g:ean>1234567891234</g:ean>Retrieves the associated image of each product :
<g:image_link>https://www.example.com/media/catalog/image.jpg</g:image_link>Retrieves the description for the product:
<g:description>...product description ...</g:description>A default value is retrieved when the description is empty.
With Simple Google Shopping you can use PHP scripts in different ways to fully customize and control the data feed output.
Inline PHP scripts directly in the data feed template surrounded by PHP short tags (<? ... ?>).
For example, to resize your images:
<? /* {images} */ return Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'image')->resize(265,265); ?>
The Simple Google Shopping PHP API uses the exact same syntax and standards than any PHP coding.
For performance reasons, Simple Google Shopping only loads in the collection of products the attributes that are explicitly required in the data feed template.
This means that only the attributes that are called using the template placeholders, {attribute_code}, will be added to the collection of products.
As a consequence, when you try to access the value of an attribute from the $product object, you must be sure that the attribute has been added to the collection.
Most of the time when the returned value is null for a given attribute, it means the attribute is not loaded in the collection of products.
The best way to be sure that all the attributes you need are well loaded in the collection, is to add at the beginning of your template a simple script that lists all the attributes required.
<?
/* list of required attributes
* {attribute_1} {attribute_2} {attribute_3} {attribute_4}...
*/
?>Then you should be able to get the values of these attributes in your PHP script:
<? return $product->getAttribute1();?>
<? return $product->getAttribute2();?>
<? return $product->getAttribute3();?>
....You can use any PHP function to apply in the attribute calls even if the function requires one or more additional arguments, for instance:
{name,[str_replace("Apple","Banana",$self)]}You can use several consecutive functions:
{ean,[str_pad($self,10,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT)],[str_replace("X","0",$self)]}To output values based on different conditions, use PHP conditional statements:
<?
/* attribute {sku} required */
if ($product->getSku()=="abc"){
return "Alphabetic";
}
elseif($product->getSku()=="123"){
return "Numeric";
}
else{
return "Mixed";
}
?><?
/* attribute {sku} required */
($product->getSku()){
case "abc":
return "Alphabetic";
break;
case "123":
return "Numeric";
break;
default:
return "Mixed";
}
?>When using the PHP API inline directly in your data feed template, you must use the opening and closing short PHP tags (<? ... ?>)
<?
if($product->getData('size')=="X-Large") {
return "XL";
}
?><? return "Don't miss! ".$product->getTitle(); ?>
/* This script adds for each product in data feed a new ouput line
* Don't miss! Iphone 5
* Don't miss! Galaxy note 7
* ...
*/<? var_dump($product->getTitle()); ?>
/* This script adds for each product in data feed a new debugging trace
* String(8) "Iphone 5"
* String(13) "Galaxy note 7"
* ...
*/All variables available in PHP scripts have a local scope, this means they can't be shared between several scripts.
If you wish to share a variable with different scripts all along the data feed generation process, then the variable must be set as a global variable.
<?
global $increment;
$increment++;
return $increment;
/* This script will output a incremental $variable
* 1
* 2
* 3
* ...
*/
?>$product is an instance of Mage_Catalog_Model_Product. It contains all methods available by default and some other specific to Simple Google Shopping.
The list below is not exhaustive but lists the most useful methods.
$this is an instance of Wyomind_simplegoogleshopping_Model_Feed. It provides a few useful methods.
Each store is different, this is why you must pay particular attention to how is configured your data feed to be sure that it matches your own needs. We highly encourage you to check how to use Simple Google Shopping before starting using our extension and before submitting your data to Google Merchant.
Be careful, a wrong configuration or an invalid data feed may result in the suspension of your Google Merchant Center account.To create a data feed, click on the PLUS icon from your Google Merchant Center account in:
Products Feeds
Start with filling in the basic information:
Shopping ads
Once it's filled in, click on Continue.
You can continue with the name and the input method of your data feed.
Now choose how to connect your data to Merchant Center. You have several options:
Click on Continue.
Using the Simple Google Shopping extension, we advise choosing the Scheduled Fetch or the Upload method.If you have selected the Scheduled Fetch to connect your data to Merchant Center, fill in the below info:
Googleshopping_full.xml
Note that Fetch frequency must be synchronized with your catalog updates. A daily fetch frequency requires to monitor your data feeds daily.
Click on Continue.
Be careful to synchronize the fetching time with the data feed generation time. For example, when the data feed is generated at 01:00 AM, Google should fetch the data feed at 02:00 AM.
If you've selected the Upload method, fill in:
Googleshopping_full.xml
Click on Continue.
The data feed should then be displayed in the data feed list from:
ProductsFeeds
Open the new data feed and click on Fetch Now.
Once the data has been fetched a report is generated including errors and warnings that must be fixed.
You can have a clear overview of your products status from the Diagnostics tab. Check how many products are:
Here is a few examples of the common errors in Google Merchant Center.
Note that the errors will appear with a red exclamation mark.
All the errors linked to the URL are due to the fact that you didn't specify the URL of your website in your Google Merchant Center account or it is not claimed, so go to:
Google Merchant Center › Business Information › About Your Business › Website
If you get this error, it is because you didn't configure a shipping rule in your Google Merchant Center account or if you did, you didn't do it for the target country.
For that, go to:
Shipping › Services
Here you can add a new rule just by clicking on the + button.
Then, fill in the different settings and click on Save.
That error occurs when products don't have a brand. For example, clothing items need a "brand" value.
You can first check that you're using the right attribute in your data feed template. For example, you may be using:
<g:brand>{manufacturer}</g:brand>instead of:
<g:brand>{brand}</g:brand>Otherwise, you can add an attribute from your Magento back-office and define a brand for each one of those products from your admin:
Magento › Manage products
In the case where all your products have the same brand, you can also define in your data feed configuration that all products will get the brand XXX by writing:
<g:brand>XXX</g:brand>In the case where your products don't have enough identifiers, you can define that there is no identifier existing by replacing:
<g:identifier_exists>true</g:identifier_exists>by:
<g:identifier_exists>false</g:identifier_exists>That error is due to the age group. In the case where you sell items for only one age group (adult), you could edit the data feed template with:
<g:age_group>adult</g:age_group>In the case where you're selling products for adults and for children, you will need to add an attribute from your Magento back-office (for example age_group) and specify the age group for each one of your products in your Magento admin:
Magento › Manage products
and keep in your data feed template:
<g:age_group>{age_group}</g:age_group>Concerning that error, it means that there is no "color" value found for some products.
You can first check that you're using the right attribute in your data feed template. For example:
<g:color>{colour}</g:color>instead of:
<g:color>{color}</g:color>Also, you may not have defined a color value for a particular product in your Magento admin:
Magento › Manage products
When currency is not supported in the given country, it means the currency defined in the data feed template in not the same as the currency of your products.
For example, the currency defined in the template is in EUR whereas your products prices are in USD. In that case, every EUR must be changed into USD in your data feed template.
When size attribute is missing, you can first check that your products have an attribute for size.
For example, for the shoes category, the attribute for size may differ. You can have a look in the black box, in your data feed template configuration, to see if there is already an existing size attribute for shoes by clicking on Attributes Library.
As you can see, the size attribute for shoes exists under the name of {shoe_size}. Then you can add it to your data feed template as below:
<g:size>{size}{shoe_size}</g:size>With Google Merchant Center, you can also have an overview of the warnings. Warnings are not penalizing because your products are inserted to Google Shopping however it is better no to have some.
Note that the warnings will appear with an orange warning sign.
That warning means that some of the products don't have image link.
You can have a look at some products involved. The problem may be that the products are variants of configurable ones.
The solution would be to modify the template in order to get the image links of the parent products and to replace:
{G:IMAGE_LINK}by:
{G:IMAGE_LINK parent}When a description is missing, you can simply edit the product directly from your Magento back-office:
Magento › Manage products
When Google product category is missing, it means that you didn't map your categories with Google ones.
For that, go in the Categories tab of your data feed template, from:
Catalog › Simple Google Shopping
This extension works with Magento Community Edition and also Magento Enterprise Edition. To know if Simple Google Shopping is compatible with your Magento version, please check the Compatibility tab.
Data Feed Manager includes all the features of Simple Google Shopping but allows you to create more kinds of data feeds (csv, txt, xml) and with special features like extra-header for any shopping engine, market place or search engine such as BingShopping, Shopping.com, Shopzilla, Amazon...
All countries are supported (tax rates and currencies). You just need to edit the feed for the target country. You also may have to use the appropriate currency when using prices attributes.
Each currency can be managed in your data feed. You can use different values in all price attributes in order to convert currencies.
The Simple Google Shopping and Data Feed Manager extensions are fully compliant with the latest Google Merchant requirements.
We are always looking for ways to improve our extensions so as to offer you the best features and user-experience.
Simple Google Shopping doesn't use the Google Content API since it generates data feeds. On the other hand, it won't cause any conflict if you're using the API, you just need to disable it when installing the Simple Google Shopping extension following that FAQ.
Note that the Google Content API migration from version 1 to version 2 won't affect the use of Wyomind Simple Google Shopping.
The data feed is not automatically sent to Google Shopping. Google Merchant will automatically and periodically retrieve your data feed.
You must first create a Google Merchant Account and then you have to upload the generated file for the first time manually.
Once your file has been validated (it can take days for the first submission due to a manual validation from Google team), you can create a cron job (a scheduled task) in your Google Merchant Account in order to automatically download the feed from your website.
You can manage download periodicity directly in your Google Merchant Account.
Simple Google Shopping has been tested successfully on a file containing more than 70,000 products.
Remember that the generation and export time for any quantity of products will depend on your server capacity. Generally, exporting a data feed with 10,000 products shouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes on a standard shared server.
We offer our customers who want to migrate their Magento 1 license to a Magento 2 license, the transfer at a reduced price.
You have the possibility to migrate your license directly from your Wyomind account in:
My account › Licenses & Downloads
Click on migrate to magento 2 in front of the extension and the domain you want to transfer.
Confirm you want to migrate your license to a Magento 2 license by clicking on Confirm and checkout .
An invoice will be automatically added to your account from:
My account › Invoices
The price of the transfer is equivalent to a 30% reduction compared to the price of the regular Magento 2 license.
You can proceed to the payment by clicking on PP .
Once the payment is done, you can go back to:
My account › Licenses & Downloads
There you will be able to download and install your license for Magento 2.
A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single Magento installation.
If you use more than one Magento installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each one.
If you run several domains on the same Magento installation, you will need only one license for all of them.
Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your support period does. By purchasing an extension, you’ll be granted a 6-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to renew your Support plan (see FAQ: How to extend my support period?).You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.
Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the extension ready to use on your domain before it goes live.
To pre-register your production domain:
next to the extension you want your domain to pre-register on.
One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one Magento installation only.
It is possible, however, to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases:
To be able to use Simple Google Shopping on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:
Now that you can use Simple Google Shopping on your production environment, repeat the same steps as above on your testing environments.
The only difference this time: a notification will appear in your Magento admin.
You will be given a choice between:
Click on Add this domain to my license.
A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.
Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.
If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Simple Google Shopping on both environments at the same time.
The order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter.In order to download Simple Google Shopping, log into your Wyomind account:

In Magento, configurable products are in fact containers for the simple variant products. Then, their price will depend on the options that the customer has selected.
Unfortunately, as it's not possible to know in advance the choice of the customers, it is recommended to use the minimum or the maximum price in your data feeds. You can use one of the below attributes:
{{product.min_price}}{{product.max_price}}You have 2 ways to manage shipping and tax with Google Merchant:
You can refer to Google Merchant specifications for further informations about tax and shipping:
https://support.google.com/merchants/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=160162&topic=2473824&ctx=topic
Please note that tax setting should only be used for merchants submitting feeds to the US. For all other countries, it is required to submit prices which are tax inclusive.
Either you can manage tax in your Google Merchant account by choosing between these 3 options:
Either you can also use the tax attribute in your data feed.
You have 4 different attributes about tax:
Here is an example of tax attribute group:
<g:tax>
<g:country>US</g:country>
<g:region>CA</g:region>
<g:rate>8.25</g:rate>
<g:tax_ship>y</g:tax_ship>
</g:tax>Either you can also use the shipping attribute in your data feed.
The shipping attribute is an item-level override for merchant-level shipping settings as defined in your Google Merchant Center account.
You have 4 different attributes about shipping:
Here is an example of shipping attribute group:
<g:shipping>
<g:country>US</g:country>
<g:region>MA</g:region>
<g:service>Ground</g:service>
<g:price>5.95 USD</g:price>
</g:shipping>As you probably know configurable products are only containers filled with not visible individually products, that Google call "variants".
That's why the configurable products should not be sent to Google Merchant because there are missing required attributes (price, color, size or any variant attribute). Instead, you should submit the simple products that have all the required information.
In your data feed template, you need to check that:
Example
<link>{url parent}</link>
<description>{description parent}</description>{G:ITEM_GROUP_ID}
As you know bundle products and grouped products are made of a combination of simple products (visible or not visible individually). Creating a specific data feed for the bundle products and/or for the grouped products in most of the time is a good idea.
Bundle and grouped products require to use:
{stock_status}instead of:
{is_in_stock}Is_in_stock is based on the stock status (in stock / out of stock) and the available quantity, but bundle/grouped products have no quantity associated so using stock_status is a better choice
Bundle products require a specific attribute in data feeds:
<g:is_bundle>TRUE</g:is_bundle>In Google Shopping, you can use custom labels to subdivide the products in your campaigns using the values of your choice to indicate for example that products are seasonal, best sellers... After that, you can use these values to monitor, report and bid in your Shopping campaign.
For each item in your data feed, you can create up to 5 custom labels (0 to 4). You should only submit one value per item for each custom label attribute.
If you want to use custom labels in your data feed, you need to create and add a new attribute in your attribute sets.
Below is how to proceed.
<g:custom_label_0>{custom_label_0}</g:custom_label_0>
<g:custom_label_1>{custom_label_1}</g:custom_label_1>
<g:custom_label_2>{custom_label_2}</g:custom_label_2>
<g:custom_label_3>{custom_label_3}</g:custom_label_3>
<g:custom_label_4>{custom_label_4}</g:custom_label_4>Then you should get the value for each product.
Google Analytics provides many details about incoming traffic from Google Shopping Ads Campaigns.
However, you may want to track incoming traffic from your Shopping Ads in Google Analytics by your owns. To do so, you can use the UTM parameters with dynamic variables and/or fixed values as follows:
<link>{url}?utm_source=My Website&utm_medium={medium}&utm_campaign={campaign}&utm_term={term}&utm_content={content}</link>After having uploaded your feed, you may get some errors and warnings in your Google Merchant account.
1. Go to the Data Feeds tab and open your data feed by clicking on its name.
2. There you'll be able to see the list of the different errors and warnings of your data feed. Click on the message you want to get more details about the issue.
3. The drop-down notification displays details about the error or warning and also contains a non-exhaustive list of products that are concerned about the issue.
4. Click on Show Item to see what's wrong for that product in particular.
For example, the item below has no image link. It certainely means that this product has no image and that you'll have to add one from your Magento admin.
Once corrections are made for each error and warning, don't forget to regenerate your feed from your Magento admin and reupload it manually from your Google Merchant account.
You can find information on how to make the corrections for each error and warning in the following FAQs.This issue may happen if you didn't update the price configuration in the data feed template according to your website settings.
By default the Google Shopping template is pre-configured for the US market, USD currency and prices excluding tax.
{normal_price,[USD],[0]}
{G:SALE_PRICE,[USD],[0]}
If your data feed doesn't target the US market these settings must be updated, for instance :
{normal_price,[GBP],[GB]}
{G:SALE_PRICE,[GBP],[GB]}
{normal_price,[EUR],[FR]}
{G:SALE_PRICE,[EUR],[FR]}
{normal_price,[EUR],[DE]}
{G:SALE_PRICE,[EUR],[DE]}
...
In the case where the prices of your catalog already include the VAT rate, you'll only need to use:
{normal_price,[USD]}
{G:SALE_PRICE,[USD]}
For more details about the price configurations you can refer to this price documentation.
It seems that Google Merchant sometimes returns some inconsistent errors message concerning the robot.txt.
Try to add the following lines into the robot.txt file, what should explicitly allow Google Merchant to crawl your images:
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow:
User-agent: Googlebot-image
Disallow:
Google requires some Unique Product Identifiers.
These informations may be a brand, a MPN (manufacturer part number), an EAN, an ISBN or any other global identifier and must be added like this:
<g:ean>{ean}</g:ean>
If you do not have any "strong identifier" to provide to Google, you can use an association of brand and MPN.
This means that you must add in your data feed configuration this code snippet :
<g:brand>{manufacturer}</g:brand>
<g:mpn>{sku}</g:mpn>
"Manufacturer" is your own attribute for manufacturer or for brand and your "sku" attribute is used as a manufacturer part number. If you do not have a manufacturer attribute, you can also hard code this value like this :
<g:brand>your own brand</g:brand>
It's also possible to specify that your products don't have any identifier at all :
<g:identifier_exists>FALSE</g:identifier_exists>
You didn't specify gender.
Gender is required for all apparel items in feeds that target the US, UK, DE, FR, and JP.
3 values accepted:
Read our documentation about required attributes with Google Shopping.
You didn't specify age group.
Age group is required for all apparel items in feeds that target the US, UK, DE, FR, and JP.
2 values accepted:
Read our documentation about required attributes with Google Shopping.
You didn't specify the dominant color(s) of the item.
Color is required for all apparel items in feeds that target the US, UK, DE, FR, and JP.
Read our documentation about required attributes with Google Shopping.
You didn't specify the size.
Size is required for all apparel items in the 'clothing' and 'shoes' product categories in feeds that target the US, UK, DE, FR, and JP.
Read our documentation about required attributes with Google Shopping.
You didn't specify any category mapping for listed categories.
Categories names you are using in your Magento aren't always the same that ones used by Google Merchant to reference your products.
This means you have to find out which Google Merchant categories have the best matching with yours, according to the Google product taxonomy.
Reminder : product_type is an attribute which indicates the category of the product being submitted, but you can provide your own classification. Unlike the 'Google product category', you can include more than one 'product type' attribute value if products apply to more than one category.
In Simple Google Shopping, you have a magic attribute realizing this for you :
{G:PRODUCT_TYPE}
It creates a list of all the categories where the product may be found :
<g:product_type> category A > sub-category B </g:product_type> <g:product_type> category A > sub-category B > sub-category C </g:product_type>
It happens Google Merchant reports you warnings about missing product_type. The issue usually comes from simple products that are associated to the configurable ones. You could try to use this code which will retrieves the parent "product type" for each product :
{G:PRODUCT_TYPE parent,[10]}Image missing means that some of your product don't have any image attached.
First of all, check if the concerned products have at least one image assigned.
Then, check if the concerned products are not linked to a parent. If they are, you just need to use the following code that will display the parent product's images instead:
{G:IMAGE_LINK parent}
If you still have some missing images in your data feed, this may mean that some of your product doesn't have images at all. In a such case you must use the attribute filters in order to remove these products from the feed :
Description missing means that your products don't have any description available. Google needs the description for each items.
First of all, check if the concerned products use the short_description. The short descriptions are filled for your products but not the long descriptions, so you must use in your data feed template:
<description>{short_description}</description>
rather than:
<description>{description}</description>
or both:
<description>{short_description} {description}</description>
Then, check if the concerned products are not linked to a parent that have the description, the descriptions are attached to the parent items (when using configurable / simple products), so you must use in your data feed template:
<description>{description parent}</description>
rather than:
<description>{description}</description>This error means that your descriptions contain some invalid characters : either wrongly encoded characters or unsupported characters (not supported by the utf8 character set).
Most of time the cleaner option should help to remove all wrongly encoded characters :
{desciption,[cleaner]}
This option can be applied in addition to any other option, for instance :
{description,[html_entity_decode],[substr],[1000],[...],[cleaner]}
If you still have issue with encoding, you could convert all characters to html entities :
{description,[cleaner],[htmlentities]}Microdata are some kind of HTML snippets that must be added on the product pages in order to allow Google to fetch your data more regularly.
Simple Google Shopping doesn't handle the microdata, however, you can use our Google Rich Snippets extension that will allow you adding the required microdata for Google Shopping.
You have the correct currency specified in your data feed. However, when a customer clicks on the link from Google Shopping, it shows the default currency instead of the correct currency.
For this reason Google may not approve your data feed and may suspend your account.
That issue has nothing to do with the extension, but you can easily fix it copying the file:
app/code/Core/Mage/Core/Model/Url.php
to:
app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Url.php
Then, locate the method setRoutesParams() and add the below code at the beginning of the function:
if (!is_null($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency'))) {
if ($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency') != Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode()) {
Mage::app()->getStore()->setCurrentCurrencyCode($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency'));
}
}
The beginning of the function should now look like :
// [...]
public function setRouteParams(array $data, $unsetOldParams = true) {
// the changes begin here
if (!is_null($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency'))) {
if ($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency') != Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode()) {
Mage::app()->getStore()->setCurrentCurrencyCode($this->getRequest()->getParam('currency'));
}
}
// the changes end here
if (isset($data['_type'])) {
$this->setType($data['_type']);
unset($data['_type']);
}
//[...]You can now use the below code at the end of your products urls so that the monnaie will be loaded automatically when displaying the page:
?currency=currency_code
Examples
http://www.website.com/men/new-arrivals/linen-blazer.html?currency=EUR
http://www.website.com/men/new-arrivals/linen-blazer.html?currency=USD
This can be easily achieved with a few lines of php code in the product pattern or even in the header pattern. For example:
<categories>
<?
if(!isset($this->done)){
$xml=null;
$categories= Mage::getModel("catalog/category")->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('level',array('gt'=>1))
->addAttributeToSelect('name');
foreach($categories as $category){
$xml.="<category>
<name>".$category->getName()."</name>
<url>".$category->getUrl()."</url>
</category>\n";
}
$this->done=true;
return $xml;
}
?>
</categories>This code will produce:
<categories>
<category>
<name><![CDATA[Women]]></name>
<url><![CDATA[http://www.wyomind.com/women.html]]></url>
</category>
<category>
<name><![CDATA[Men]]></name>
<url><![CDATA[http://www.wyomind.com/men.html]]></url>
</category>
...
</categories>You need to complete your data feed template with some php script:
<? if(in_array(CATEGORY_ID,explode(',',$product->getCategoriesIds())) $this->skip(); ?>You have the possibility to exclude some products from the feed using advanced filters from the Filters section.
For example, you would like to filter out 3 products: SKU1, SKU2 and SKU3. Then you only have to create a NOT IN advanced filter as below:
Sometimes, advanced filters aren't enough to generate your data feed in the way you want it to be.
For example, let's say you want to extract all your catalog products, except the ones whose category mapping is Shoes. If you tick all categories except the Shoes one in the Categories section, you'll miss all uncategorized products.
In that case, you can use a code snippet in your template which will exclude the Shoes category. This will only work if you untick all categories in the Categories section:
<?
// if category is Shoes then skip the product)
if("{category_mapping}"=="Shoes") $this->skip();
?>In a general notation:
<? if("{attribute_code}"=="value") $this->skip();?>To group your Adwords campaigns by price ranges, you can simply use PHP code into your XML template.
For example:
<g:custom_label_0>
<?
if({price}<10) return "0-10";
elseif ({price}<25) return "10.001-25";
elseif ({price}<50) return "25.001-50";
elseif ({price}<75) return "50.001-75";
elseif ({price}>75) return "75.001-100000";
?>
</g:custom_label_0>If your site crashes and gives this error message after uploading all files to the correct folders:
Fatal error: Class 'Wyomind_Notificationmanager_Model_Resource_Setup' not found in includes/src/Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup.php on line 234It probably comes from installing an extension while the compiler is still enabled.
Important note:
Here is how to disable the Magento compiler:
define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');to get:
#define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');#define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');If you're getting a white page using the extension, you should enable the error reporting in order to display the error. You can do that from index.php.
How do cron tasks work:
Be sure that you have correctly configured a scheduled task from the server side (cpanel) targeting the cron.php file in your Magento installation.
The extension includes reporting and debug tools for the scheduled tasks in:
system › configuration › Wyomind › Simple Google Shopping
We also strongly advice to install the AOE Scheduler that will help you to monitor the Magento cron tasks.
This issue may be due to a problem during the installation process.
You can fix it by following these steps:
Be careful, that entry depends on your extension. For example, if you have the extension called Simple Google Shopping, you should delete simplegoogleshopping_setup.
If when saving your data feed configuration, you get:
Forbidden, You don't have permission to access /.../ on this server.
This is probably something regarding the hosting company that doesn't allow to post XML in the form.
The mod_security (security module) includes rules that stop all post/get requests including code.
In order to fix that issue, you should get in touch with your hosting company so that they can add some exceptions to the security rules.
You must apply the permissions 644 to lib › Google or lib › Wyomind directory and all sub folders and files via FTP.
Try to run the below request in phpmyadmin or in any database manager.
For Simple Google Shopping :
UPDATE simplegoogleshopping SET store_id=(SELECT store_id FROM core_store WHERE store_id>0 LIMIT 1);For Data Feed Manager
UPDATE datafeedmanager_configurations SET store_id=(SELECT store_id FROM core_store WHERE store_id>0 LIMIT 1);If after deleting a storeview, you get a 404 error page, you must look in your database (with PhpMyAdmin) which store_id (i.e. storeview ID) has been deleted.
Then to fix the issue, you have to update each element from the table simplegoogleshopping or datafeedmanager (depending on your extension) with another valid store_id.
You should check that the var/tmp folder exists in the Magento root directory. If not, create it with the writing permissions.
The directory in which your data feed is stored must be writable (permissions 755). You should try to use another directory such as /media/ if /feeds/ is not properly set by changing the content of Path field.
You need to access your server with FTP client software (like Filezilla).
Then in your Magento root directory, you need to create the feeds folder and apply the 755 permissions.
The XML error probably comes from some product descriptions that must include invalid tags such as a missing closing tag.
In your product pattern, replace {G:DESCRIPTION} with:
<g:description>{description,[cleaner],[inline],[strip_tags]}</g:description>You may have an incorrect character in your data feed description, for example the & character.
In that case you should replace the & character with and or enclose your data between CDATA as in the example below.
First, be sure to use special attributes which will clean your content:
{attribute,[strip_tags],[html_entity_decode],[inline],[cleaner]}If your data feed still doesn't display properly, maybe it's because you try to read it as an ISO file while Simple Google Shopping creates UTF-8 encoded files.
We recommend you to read it with dedicated programs like Notepad++ or even Firefox (with Display › Encoding type › utf8 selected).
The Simple Google Shopping module uses a temporary directory to store data. You must make sure that var/tmp exists under your Magento root directory, if not, you should create it.

Great simple and essential module for your Magento 2 store. Easy installation, good guidance and integrates with all our other modules. Support was required a few times for various issues we had and that was first class too. Allows easy and fast creation of google merchant centre feeds. Highly recommended.
Sergio Doglioli
Excellent module: I needed to perform several exports to synchronize my platform. Nothing is simpler, faster, or more powerful than Wyomind. I had tried other modules in the past, but they all had limitations that prevented their use: with Wyomind, I finally found the ultimate solution, even for those without technical expertise.Very powerful for those familiar with the software, simple to use for beginners or those without specific database and language skills. Perfect. Thanks.
Fern
all good
Mr Smith
We needed an extension to generate xml sheets for google shopping with the ability to filter out certain product types and also to filter by attributes. This extension does exactly what we need, as well as offering many more customisable options and filter settings that may be useful for others. It has been in use for several years now, generating updated xml sheets every 24 hrs which our merchant centre then pulls across keeping every products details up to date. The few times we have needed to contact support with a query, they have been quick to respond and help resolve our query quickly and without fuss. Highly recommend for any magento website which uses google shopping, this is pretty much essential.
talc
Wyomind’s Simple Google Shopping extension for Magento is fantastic! Easy to set up, highly customizable, and saves so much time. Great support team too. A must-have for seamless feed management!
Jose
Every day they improve the extension a lot more, besides having it always with a very extensive documentation and the support is super fast.
Mark
We've been using this Magento extension for several years now, and it has truly transformed how we manage our data feeds. What sets this extension apart is its simplicity combined with incredible flexibility. Setting up product feeds was straightforward, even for team members without extensive coding knowledge. The XML customization options allowed us to tailor our feeds exactly to our needs, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned with Google's requirements.
The extension isn’t just limited to Google Shopping. We've also successfully used it to create feeds for other marketplaces, which has expanded our reach with minimal additional effort. The ability to schedule feeds and automate updates has saved us countless hours, keeping our product data current without the need for manual intervention. We've often used it in unconventional ways on our care home website.
Another standout feature is the exceptional support team. Whenever we've encountered a question or needed assistance, their response has been quick and helpful, ensuring that any issues are resolved promptly. The documentation provided is thorough, making it easy to navigate even the more advanced features of the extension.
In conclusion, this extension is a must-have for any Magento-based website looking to optimize product feeds efficiently. It’s reliable, easy to use, and supported by a team that clearly knows their stuff. We highly recommend it to any business aiming to streamline their data feeds and enhance their online presence.
ANYBRAND
We use this module for our promotional gifts products since years now. It is easy to use and efficient. The support from Wyomind is always fast and friendly. We highly recommend this extension.
HS
So, I have used Google Shopping feed Extension by Wyomind for our business to generate product feeds , Much satisfied with the extension and support service they offered. Also the extension generates the precised product feeds and much according as per the requirement.Easy to install extension. The configuration backend is very clear and intuitive and also customizable. Configurable products are supported. I installed it without any problem, modules are constantly updating and the upgrade is easy.
Don D.
We have used this module for at least 10 years now. Yes, we had to pay for extended support a few times to update the compatibility with Magento and PHP versions, but the flexibility of the XML variables and codes itself always worked.
We have never had to change the XML file, the file created by cron, and submitted the updated version of our inventory to Google every evening and never failed.
Although they don't advertise it, you can use this same module to create different versions of inventory files to update to different marketplaces like Facebook Shopping...
Great module, good work you guys!
Gonzalo
It is a very easy to use extension with a little knowledge and even if you do not have the documentation is very well explained and ready to work with it.
Also the support is very good

Une rapidité de mise en oeuvre, une pureté des données générées et un service client réactif toujours à l'écoute pour nous accompagner dans l'optimisation des mécaniques de création des données dynamiques.
La puissance de l'intégration de la structure XML modifiable à souhait avec la puissance du PHP, c'est la perfection à l'état pur ! Nous avons rarement été autant surpris par un outil aussi puissant et aussi facile à exploiter, chapeau bas à l'équipe de Wyomind !

This module is great to upload your products en mass to the google shopping centre; it is super easy to use without coding knowledge requirement.
Everytime we have required the support, the team have provided responses within minutes and the resolution to all of our issues.
We have used this module for over 11 years now on different versions of Magento and it has never let us down.
A* would thoroughly recommend

We have had this module installed ever since we moved to magento two, around 3 years ago. Since then with have comprehensively used this extension to generate a Google Merchant Feed that has been ingested directly into Google with great results. We now use the plugin to send the data to a Google Comparison Shopping Service (or CSS) with great success. We have also had similar success with exporting feeds to the Meta platform via an equivalent CSS and furthermore to Pinterest too. Each of these feeds had different requirements, all of which were handled with no issue but the extension. However, we have struggled to create stable feeds for other marketplaces that do not first feed into a data aggregator. This is almost certainly due to the fact that this kind of functionality is not the scope of this extension, and the Data Feed extension that wyomind is probably a far better option. I would definitely recommend this extension for businesses who have a simple requirements to send product data to the key Marketplaces, however with caution that they may not always work as expected, especially if not further feeding the data into some form of middleware/ data aggregation software. Overall I would give this module 5 stars, as it achieves more than what we ever expected it to.

Hi, with simple google shopping you can create data feeds for Google shopping with templates which allow the use of PHP in it. This makes it really easy to adapt the attributes of our magento 2 shop to the guidelines of Google Shopping, it helps a lot! One minor point of criticism is that the templates from the Magento 1 extension of Wyomind which we used as well had to be quite a bit adapted to make them work in the magento2 extension simple google shopping. But overall the migration from M1 to M2 was quite an adaption, so the guys at Wyomind had to do some adaption work themselves I reckon!

The best Google Shopping feed extension on the market place. We use this for so many of our clients' stores. Easy to set up and use, highly recommended

We were using the Simple Google Shopping plugin in Magento 1, and it worked flawlessly every time. When we migrated our store to Magento 2, we opted for the same solution. The plugin is good overall and performs the functions it was created for. The support team helps with the implementation thanks to the free support period and gives you the option to increase that support time by up to 2 more months. The wyomind team is made up of great Magento certified professionals, which is what we were interested in from the beginning.

This is a module we have been using since 2018 and in this time we have had no issues or complaints. We have also been very impressed with the level of upgrades that are available after a Magento 2 update. No complaints here!
