1. It uses the regular price, even when you have a sale price defined.
>> We have added the option to enable ‘sale’ price to Free and Premium version – Great suggestion!
2. Every brand must be individually exported by hand. If your store carries 40 brands, you need to generate 40 different feeds -by hand- -every day- (the feed does not update automatically).
>> The pro version allows you to generate feeds with all of the brands included – and automatically update according to your schedule. Please note – you should be ‘selective’ about how often/what you submit to Google and other merchant services providers – some may consider too much volume or too many brands to be ‘product spam’ 🙂
3. Exports product long description in product feed… Even if this field it larger than Google allows (resulting in all effected products not being imported into google)
>> Both versions allow you to select which field is the description… We chop length according to the end merchant in scope (we have more than Google merchant now ) – perhaps you were looking at an old version?
4. Product categories are not saved… You need to scroll through a list of 5000+ choices to set the correct google category… This selection is not saved, so you need to scroll through the list for every export.
>> We have augmented the UI to allow ‘search by contains’ to make category selection – sorry Google makes that many available 🙂 Pro version allows you to save it. The free version is mainly for validation of your feed and test/one time imports to google/amazon, etc.
5. Product categories are only provided in English. To use google in any other language you need to edit the plugin source code.
>> Actually, we use the source of the merchant provider for the feeds (we download them and present to you – we don’t ship with any predefined). However, we will add a feature listing to review to see if the end merchant will respect a language flag and provide in that format – great idea thanks!
The idea of this plugin seems to be only to promote the pro version… It is not useable in the free version.
>> Well, I guess it depends on your perspective 🙂 – If you are looking for a quick and dirty way to export some products and see if Google likes them, or Amazon will promoted, or eBay will list them, or Shopify will promote them – from WooCommerce – then this is a great little plugin 🙂 If you need more – automated feeds, custom tags, selective product categories, etc. – then you’ll want to take advantage of the 500+ hours of effort we’ve put into it 🙂 Thanks for taking the time – we appreciate the feedback and you will see that we will be releasing on a bi-weekly schedule ongoing!
