You submit your WooCommerce products to Google Shopping. A few days later, some are disapproved. The error messages are vague. You don't know which product has which problem, or what to change.<\/p>\n\n

Merchant Feed Booster Lite<\/strong> solves that.<\/p>\n\n

It generates a reliable Google Merchant XML feed for your store and<\/em> audits every product against 25 of Google Merchant Center's content policy rules. Each product gets a health score from 0 to 100, and every failing rule tells you exactly what the problem is and how to fix it \u2014 all inside your WordPress admin, before a single product reaches Google.<\/p>\n\n

How it works<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. Set it up once<\/strong> \u2014 enter your feed title, default brand, and Google product category in Settings. The plugin adds Brand, GTIN, MPN, and Condition fields to each product edit screen.<\/li>\n
  2. Generate your feed<\/strong> \u2014 click Regenerate Feed on the Dashboard. The plugin writes a properly formatted Google Merchant XML file to your server. Copy the URL and paste it into Google Merchant Center as a scheduled fetch.<\/li>\n
  3. Run a health scan<\/strong> \u2014 go to Feed Health and scan your catalog. The plugin checks every product against 25 policy rules covering titles, images, prices, identifiers, and descriptions.<\/li>\n
  4. Fix what's flagged<\/strong> \u2014 each failing rule shows a severity level (Error, Warning, or Notice), a plain-English explanation, and a specific fix hint. Start with the lowest-scored products first.<\/li>\n
  5. Let it run<\/strong> \u2014 the feed refreshes automatically on a schedule you choose. Products are rescored automatically whenever you edit them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    What it checks<\/h4>\n\n

    Titles<\/strong> \u2014 Too short or too long, promotional words like FREE or SALE, ALL CAPS, HTML tags, price mentioned in the title, special characters, repeated words.<\/p>\n\n

    Images<\/strong> \u2014 Missing image, too small for Google's requirements, unsupported format, tracking parameters in the URL.<\/p>\n\n

    Prices<\/strong> \u2014 Missing or zero price, sale price set without a regular price, sale price higher than or equal to the regular price.<\/p>\n\n

    Identifiers<\/strong> \u2014 Invalid GTIN digit count, GTIN that fails the GS1 check digit test, brand set but no GTIN or MPN provided, missing brand.<\/p>\n\n

    Descriptions<\/strong> \u2014 Missing description, too short, HTML tags, promotional language.<\/p>\n\n

    What you get<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • A health score (0\u2013100) and color-coded tier for every product in your store<\/li>\n
    • A full breakdown of every failing rule per product with fix hints<\/li>\n
    • A live feed preview showing your products exactly as they'll appear in the XML<\/li>\n
    • Automatic feed refresh on a schedule \u2014 twice daily, daily, weekly, or a custom interval<\/li>\n
    • CSV export of the full health report for spreadsheet analysis<\/li>\n
    • WP-CLI commands for server-side management<\/li>\n
    • Developer filters and actions to customise the feed and scoring rules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Privacy<\/h4>\n\n

      This plugin does not collect or transmit any data. All processing runs on your server. No external API calls are made.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the merchant-feed-booster-lite-for-woocommerce<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate Merchant Feed Booster Lite for WooCommerce<\/strong> from the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
      3. WooCommerce must be installed and active.<\/li>\n
      4. Go to Feed Booster \u2192 Settings<\/strong>, configure your feed title and defaults, and save.<\/li>\n
      5. Click Regenerate Feed<\/strong> on the Dashboard to create the first XML file.<\/li>\n
      6. Copy the feed URL and add it to Google Merchant Center under Settings \u2192 Data sources \u2192 Add file<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Does this require WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. WooCommerce 6.0 or higher must be installed and active.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Where is the feed file stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        At wp-content\/uploads\/codesolz-feeds\/google-products.xml<\/code>. The URL is shown on the Dashboard with a one-click copy button.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How often does the feed refresh?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        You choose: twice daily, daily, weekly, or a custom interval in hours. You can also regenerate it manually at any time from the Dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Do I have to scan my products manually every time?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. Products are rescored automatically when you save changes to them. For a full catalog rescan, use the Scan button on the Feed Health page \u2014 it runs in the background in batches of 50, so it never times out on large stores.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What does the health score mean?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        It tells you how well a product meets Google's content requirements. A score of 85\u2013100 means the product is in good shape. Below 50 means there are issues that are likely to cause disapprovals or low impressions. The Feed Health page shows exactly which rules are failing.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is it compatible with WooCommerce HPOS?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The plugin only reads and writes product data, never orders. Full HPOS compatibility is declared.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I control which products go into the feed?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes, via the cs_mfb_should_include_product<\/code> filter hook. You can also toggle out-of-stock products on or off in Settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does this plugin send any data externally?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. Everything runs on your server. No data leaves your site.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
