Google Shopping Feed

In order to improve discoverability and user experience on search and social platforms, it’s often desirable to provide a feed from your WooCommerce site that will integrate directly into the discovery engine. Producing and managing these feeds is not a core part of WooCommerce so we use a plugin to add this functionality.

The Google Product Feed extension allows you to create a real-time feed to supply product information to Google Merchant Center, a prerequisite for setting up Product Ads.

User experience

Someone searches on Google and the Google algorithm determines that either the user is running a product search, or that a product result is relevant. Items from your store’s inventory are included in Google’s shopping results in a structured way (e.g. including pricing, stock and delivery details). When the user clicks to find out more about the product, they are redirected to the page on your website about this product, allowing them to progress their shopping experience.
