Google Shopping Feed Errors


Recommended Posts

Recently our Google Shopping feed started generating errors and is no longer displaying in Google's search results.

 

The errors it is giving relate to the following missing attributes:

Shipping Information, Availability, Recommended Attribute, Google Product Category, Product Type and Brand

 

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to add these attributes to the google feed please?

 

My Prestashop Version is 1.2.5.0

The Google Feed was downloaded from www.ecartservice.net (Google Base Feed Products v0.5) - attached

 

Thanks in advance for any help provided! :)

FWIW I think the google product feed is going to be a pay thing pretty soon if not already.

It’s been a month of heated debate and speculation since Google announced its intention to phase out free listings on its comparison shopping engine, Google Product Search, and transition to paid listings built on Product Listing Ads for its new initiative, Google Shopping. Google explained its shift in "Building a better shopping experience," a May 31 blog post.

Google’s stance as stated in this announcement is that "having a commercial relationship with merchants will encourage them to keep their product information fresh and up to date" which "should mean better shopping results for users, which in turn should create higher quality traffic for merchants."

Thanks for the reply. I had also heard this, but if I'm not mistaken that is for US merchants only? Our shop is UK based, so not sure if it applies?

 

Any help regarding our issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi zollgut,

This is an extremely old version of PrestaShop (released two and a half years ago, with more than 50 releases and updates since), and an externally developed module for which we have no way of monitoring or validating the content. For that reason, your best bet would be to contact the developer of this module directly to try to get assistance on it.

Any luck?

 

Google Shopping will be moving to a paid model soon in the UK too, so it's not worth buying a premium Google Shopping plugin as it'll only be valid for a couple of months. Therefore getting this one fixed would be a godsend, I know a lot of people use it.
