Google Base/Merchant problem with MPN and GTIN

[Gareth Prandle]

Hello,

I’m using WP eStore plugin, along with Google Base feed addon, but I’m having some problems. After I upload my feed to Google Merchant, I get several errors – most important are:

1. GTIN missing

2. MPN missing

3. Product type missing

Now, I see option in Google Base addon to add MPN and GTIN, but if I enter needed details there, same MPN and GTIN will be applied to all products. My question is – How can I add MPN and GTIN to each product separately?

Also, where should I define Product type? I thought that defining Google Product Category will be enough, but I need to add Product type also.

Best regards,

Gareth

Hi there,

What I ended up doing was putting in dummy data for:

Google Product Category, Brand, GTIN, and MPN

within the Google Base XML Feed Generation page.

Then, when WP eStore generated the file, I opened the XML file, copied out the text and applied unique values for each.

You can also try replacing <g:google_product_category> with <g:product_type>.

Then I uploaded the file.

Not the best answer but does provide a workaround for the time being.

Hope it helps!
