How Google Shopping feed drives your sales
Using the Google Shopping Magento extension to sell your products directly on Google, you can expect rapid sales growth. Here are three main reasons for this:
Products on Google Shopping automatically match relevant keywords and search queries. Shoppers will see items they are potentially interested in buying.
Google is the most popular search engine, serving millions of search queries per day. By selling on Google, you can reach a wider audience in a short time period.
A Google Shopping feed can be used for selling on other sales channels. Facebook, Microsoft Bing, and dozens of other sales engines accept this feed.
Fully compliant with Google feed specification
Google Shopping extension generates a product feed that can pass the check by Google Shopping from the start. The shopping feed Google expects may have such information on products:
- Basic product data
- Price and availability
- Product category
- Product identifiers
- Detailed product description
- Shopping campaigns and other configurations
- Destinations
- Shipping
- Tax
Some of the product info, like price and availability or product category, is mandatory. The corresponding attributes are included in the default feed template when you create it in the Magento Google shopping feed module.
To stand out your products from competitors, let your potential shoppers to fully see your products. For that purpose, include optional product data, such as additional images, expiration date, or mobile-optimized landing page. Google shopping extensions' capabilities allow you to present goods in the best way possible.
Two steps to get a feed
To speed setup, the builder opens on a start screen with popular destinations, an A–Z index for quick filtering, and instant search to help you pick the right preset.
Using a prebuilt template for Google Shopping, you can get the feed literally in a minute. Make a product feed in two steps:
- Provide a feed file name
- Click the Generate button
Then, simply copy and paste the feed file URL into your Google Merchant account. Alternatively, configure the FTP/SFTP feed file upload to Google if it suits you better.
However, typically, the Google Shopping product feed requires more than two steps as you may want to make it more personal. To stand out from competitors, you can edit the default feed template to change its output. For example, customize the template to add more product information and apply product filters to filter out irrelevant items.
For similar destinations, you can duplicate a preset, and both presets and feeds support helper metadata (logo, guide link, short note) for clearer organization.
Additionally, configure e-mail notifications regarding the feed status and reporting on the user statistics. Attach your UTM tags to track your feed access in Google Analytics.
Product Attributes
Configure your Magento Google product feed easily in a visual manner, no experience of working with XML required.
Simply click the Library of patterns and find a product attribute you want to include in your feed. Use the Preview function to get a view on the output the pattern delivers. Then copy the pattern and paste it in your feed template.
Product Filters
Make your Google Shopping feed more effective by filling it with products that meet your business interests best.
For example, Google requires to exclude out of stock products otherwise it will disapprove the product. Additionally, you may want to promote only products of a specific price range.
Apply the Base Product Filter or Extended Filter or both to your product feed to filter out irrelevant products from your feedt.
Feed Preview
Make sure you get a perfect XML feed before it is uploaded to Google. Use the preview option to correct any misconfiguration that may occur when editing the feed default template.
You will see the output exactly as it will be received by Google Shopping. Check for possibly deleted mandatory attributes, tags have opening and closing elements, etc.
Having such a preview tool helps to save time by avoiding a rejection when the feed is uploaded to Google.
Feed Validation
Catch issues before export and avoid rejections. Validate any feed against your own rules and get a clear report before upload.
Set checks in Content Settings > Validation Rule, generate the feed, and run validation. If a rule is present, it can run automatically; you can also start it manually at any time.
Typical checks include title length, required fields, character encoding, price and currency formats, and dimensions, etc. Reports show line numbers and plain-language messages, so you can fix values, regenerate, and validate again.
How to sell on Google Shopping with a product feed
To start selling on Google Shopping, Google Ads, and other Google services, the first thing you need to do is to create a product feed file. This file contains all information on your products you want to sell via Google services.
Next, create a Google Merchant account and configure the access to the feed file. You may set up Google Merchant to fetch your feed by the URL or FTP/SFTP.
The last step is to finish the setup of your Merchant account by providing such business info as shipping, taxes, branding, returns.
Finally, you can publish your product listings to start selling on Google.

products.csv.gz, which for a typical catalog is several times smaller — faster to upload, cheaper to transfer, and accepted directly by most channels and data pipelines. Compression is streamed, so turning it on does not increase the memory a large export needs. Quality-control validation still checks the real published file: the archive is unpacked before the rules run, including on stores that keep media on remote storage such as AWS S3. An export that produced no products yields a valid empty archive rather than an unreadable zero-byte file. Note: enabling this changes the feed's filename and therefore its URL — update anything that fetches the previous address.is_compressed column, added automatically by setup:upgrade..json arrived as a string, a field with one nested element became a single object where two made a list, and an empty value simply disappeared. A partner asking for a price as a number or a stock flag as true/false could not be served by any template. You now say what a value is where you write it, the same way an XML schema does: mark the element xsi:type="xs:decimal", xs:integer or xs:boolean and it is converted, mark it xsi:nil="true" and it comes out as null, mark it xsi:type="array" and it is always a list even when the product has only one of them. Nothing is guessed from the value itself, so an SKU of 0012333 keeps its leading zeros and a text attribute reading "true" stays text. A value that does not match the type you declared is left as a string rather than turned into 0 or false, so a typo in a template cannot silently corrupt a feed. Feeds that declare nothing produce exactly the same JSON as before..json for such a feed could not be produced at all.<g:id> without declaring the prefix on the root — which is what shopping channels expect — no longer produce parser warnings during export..json published next to the new .xml. The export now stops with a message naming the tag and the line in your template output that caused it.9999.00 becomes 9999 — while a genuine fraction such as 34.50 keeps it, and a number too large for the platform's integer range stays text instead of being replaced by a wrong one.Piñatas instead of Piñatas, Sauté Pans instead of Sauté Pans). They appeared mis-spelled in the Category Mapping autocomplete and could not be selected reliably; the taxonomy file now uses the correct encoding.ai:<code> on a single column when you want one field optimized and another left alone. Profiles preview on a handful of real products before you enable them, report the tokens they have used and the tokens still needed, and can hold generated values for your approval before any of them reaches a live feed. Where a profile is switched off, or has no value for a product yet, the feed emits the original value exactly as it does today.mirasvit:feed:ai:optimize, for covering a large catalog on demand instead of waiting for the background schedule — useful before a campaign launch.Piñatas instead of Piñatas, Sauté Pans instead of Sauté Pans). They appeared mis-spelled in the Category Mapping autocomplete and could not be selected reliably; the taxonomy file now uses the correct encoding.deliverer.txt file there — actually a copy of one of the module's own PHP files — which exposed source code and, on stores whose remote folder is watched by a feed consumer (such as OpenAI Ads Manager), was picked up and ingested as a bogus feed. The test now only verifies that the server is reachable, the credentials work, and the destination path exists, leaving the folder untouched. Failed tests also report the reason more clearly, distinguishing a wrong SFTP login from an invalid SFTP path.first or last filter on something a product had no values for (for example a product with no gallery images), the export aborted with a fatal error; such fields now simply come out empty and the feed generates to the end.deliverer.txt file to the remote directory — on stores whose remote folder is watched by a feed consumer, that stray file could be ingested as a bogus feed, and it exposed PHP source. Test Connection now only checks that it can reach, sign in to, and open the configured folder, without writing anything to it.%1 instead of the number of days because of a stray space in the translation.deliverer.txt file to the destination folder and never remove it; it now writes a temporary file only to confirm write access and deletes it once the test passes, so the target directory stays clean.We are committed to being open and transparent with our customers.
