I have no problems using the Google base feed - all my products are loaded up.

What do you mean by "having difficulty"? What is happening? - getting any error messages? More detail would help.

Have you activated the feed in Extensions > Product Feeds?

Also, have you configured it correctly in Google merchant center?

Those are the two things you should check first.

In Merchant Center, under Data Feeds you need to set up a feed with the file name google_base.xml

Then under upload schedule, when you click edit, the URL is

Code: Select all

http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=feed/google_base
Hope that helps.

you don't have to make a file called that :)

It's weird I know! It must make the file for you from the feed.

All I did was make a new feed with the name "google_base.xml" as Chones said (thanks mate!!) and then clicked "Schedule upload" or something like that, and scheduled a daily upload for 2am GMT (I live in the UK) and then provided the full link to my google base feed (which in my case is http://health-revolution.co.cc/index.ph ... oogle_base ).

Then it worked like a charm! Well... so far anyway!! :)

Darn, spoke too soon :(

Disapproved - Error

Your data feed has been disapproved because some or all of your items are not complying with our Program Policies.

It said it would send me an email detailing the problems but it hasn't yet. I wonder what is wrong o.O
