First, let me say I am relatively new to CS-Cart and am in trial mode.
If you have product variations in CS-Cart, are you feeding those variations into your Google Merchant center, and if you are, how?
1) The problem I see so far, and I cannot find a good answer in the forums, is that when I test the Google Feed, it looks to me that the product variations don't even show up in the export.
2) In addition, my understanding is the feed requires a GTIN, and in the past, we have always used UPC for all of our products and variations...I don not even see a way to tie UPC to specific variations
3) Also, I need to a product URL for the variations...are those available? Even if it points back to the master or parent product?
Thank you for the help. For a particular product I have created 4 different combinations for a product and verified they are displaying correctly on the site with radio buttons to select the variant/combo.
However, when I download my Google feed, only the "base" product is in the feed and the combinations are not...in this case they are different colors, each color with a distinct Model Number, UPC, etc.
To clarify the above statement....the are distinct products...In my feed, I need to show a UPC and product URL for each of the variations.
I feel like I am completely missing or not understanding something. I must because I haven't even found issues on the forum that are like this, but I would think it would be a common problem for users.
For a product line like mine, I have over 300 products that are variations...each of the variations are distinct products with their own UPC...which I need for my Google Feed.
You need to map the Google Export GTIN feature to whatever field you are using to store what you're referring to as the UPC. As I said above, Google dropped UPC a few years ago in favor of GTIN.
UPC is a form a GTIN. I understand what you are saying, but I cannot figure out how to map this feature field to a variation/combination. I know how to do it to the main product, but not the created combinations.
