Google Product Feed

Nowadays, it has become very essential to create a Google Product Feed. A feed is a file made up of a list of products which use groupings of attributes that define each one of your products in a unique way. The Google Product Feed extension allows you to create a real-time feed to supply product information to Google Merchant Center, a prerequisite for setting up Product Ads. In Merchant Center, all of your products will be added to a primary or a supplementary feed. Once you’ve created a feed, it can be added to any of the programs you’ve signed up for. StoreHippo has made it easy for merchants to sync, submit, and optimize their products for listings. If you already have products synced through the app, your approved products can start showing up in relevant Google Shopping tab search results. You can also list your product in Google Product Feed right from your dashboard by a Google Product Category. Before creating Google Product Feed, you need to sign up for the Google Merchant Center.

Creating Product Feed

After you've signed up Google Merchant Center, you can upload the product feed. The Google Product Feed extension supports 50+ feed attributes including all mandatory fields. Simple fields such as link, title, image_link etc are all populated automatically for you. Other fields provide a simple one-click mapping to allow you to map across your product fields onto the feed.
