With Quick Shopping Cart®, you can set up a free price comparison service from Google® called Google Shopping™. It can increase traffic to your online store by making your products searchable on Google.com/shopping.
You can submit your products to Google Shopping through three main steps:
We'll walk you through each step.
Google requires that you sign up for Google Merchant Center to upload your data feed. You can sign up for Google Merchant Center through an existing Google account or create a new one. For more information, see Google Merchant Center's Help.
If you change the currency you use with Quick Shopping Cart, you must change your Target Country to one that uses the new currency.
Now that your account is set up with Google, you're ready to create your data feed in Quick Shopping Cart.
The Google Products data feed contains information about your products. The information is described in attributes that let your customers search and find your items.
Google Shopping recommends identifying products' weights. For information about configuring products' weights, see Working with products .
Only enter the "content" section of the code, minus the quotes. For example, if your search engine generates the meta tag:
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="mIP6AbCCdEfghiJk_5KZGFIgcnf9QRStUVwXyo" />
You should only enter: mIP6AbCCdEfghiJk_5KZGFIgcnf9QRStUVwXyo
If you have any issues with the data feed, see Troubleshooting the Google Products Data Feed.
To enhance the way your products display on Google Shopping, Google recommends you enter a Google product category for each of your products. You can enter it individually through the Product Editor or in bulk using a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet template. If you're using the Apparel & Accessories Google product category, you're required to enter additional information.
Only copy the category, minus the quotes. For example, if your selection generates:
"Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Pants > Jeans"
You should only copy:
Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Pants > Jeans
