It has been a busy few weeks, receiving a lot of questions from our users. Since we are making a real effort to help out our user to the best of our knowledge we’ve been slow on developing new features for the plugin. Our apologies for that.
Just to give you all a small heads-up of the issues that are on our to-do list:
Add WP_CRON check: notify user when WP_CRON is disabled. Should be active, plugin requires this.
Add check for WooCommerce version (3.0 and higher). Plugin needs at least version 3.0.0. Notify user when they are using an older version.
As per our email discussion, I would like to see product mapping put back into the feature set under category mapping. Unless a store has categories that are super granular, we need this to be able to override a category mapping for a particular product. I work closely with our PPC team and they have run tests that document improved performance to the shopping campaign when each product in the feed has the best fit to a Google shopping category.
We pushed out a new release today which supports Google Shopping category mapping on not just the product category, product name or product ID but on any product attribute (in the rules section).
Let me know if you need help with configuring your product feed.
My PPC team will be very happy to hear this. Granularity in mapping is one of the keys to performance for shopping campaigns. I will upgrade one of our stores today and try it out. Thanks!
You are absolutely right, we manage > 600 Shopping campaigns for our partners and noticed that the more information you provide to Google in your Shopping feeds the better. Granularity in category mapping is key!
Furthermore, we always set-up our shopping campaigns according to the set-up as explained in the YouTube video below. You could share it with your PPC team 🙂
Great, I will donate when WPML support is ready this would be a great update can’t wait till it arrives.
Some other problem I would like to point out to you is that I’m still on version 1.98 of your plugin because when I update your plugin isn’t compatible with the: WooCommerce Add GTIN: UPC, EAN, and ISBN – Door Scott Bolinger, plugin.
Could you maybe look into this because without GTIN codes products will not get accepted anymore in google shopping, so it is quite important and it was working together flawlessly before?

Great plugin for product feed.
However, I would like to add static value in g:shipping attribute which I can’t do that at this moment.
If I create a custom attribute for shipping then it can’t allow “:” so basically it is not creating right attributes.
I am using Per Product Shipping (https://woocommerce.com/products/per-product-shipping/) plugin and would like to add shipping data into a feed. each product has different shipping cost for each postcode. so not sure what is the best way to implement them.
When you decide to add shipping costs to Google’s Shopping feed than it needs to comply to Google’s requirements. In order to add the g:shipping to your product feed you need to follow these steps:
1. Hit the ‘+ Add field mapping’ button;
2. Select Shipping from the drop down;
3. Map it to you ‘Shipping price’ attribite;
The plugin will than automatically put the shipping details in the product feed that you configured in WooCommerce.
Alternatively you could also opt for not putting the shipping in the product feed at all and configure the shipping settings in Google’s Merchant Center. See this link for help on how to do so: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6069284?hl=en
Hope this answers your question?
All the best,
Eva
