WooCommerce Google Merchant Center Integration plugin provides an integration with Google Merchant Center. It creates XML feed files and sends it to Google’s FTP server. Then, feed is processed and after that it is shown in products’ list.

More customers will be able to find your product through Google search – it does increase your earnings!

After creating your Merchant Account and uploading product feed your products will be shown in Google search results.

1. Register your shop on https://merchants.google.com. Then skip the URL verification process.

2. Using SFTP / FTP / GCS option in the settings menu (wrench icon) create your FTP account and reset password (you need to store it in secure place, because it is shown only once).

3. Copy FTP account credentials and place them on Google Merchant Center Integration plugin.

4. Register your product feed in your Google Merchant Center (Products > Feeds > Add primary feed). Then name your feed and choose an Upload input method.

5. Enter the name of your feed file.

6. Go to Products > Categories subpage on your WordPress admin panel and you will see your WooCommerce categories. Choose a category and click “Edit”. You should change “Google Merchant Center exclusion” option to “No” if you want products from that category to be included in XML feed. Choose suitable Google Merchant category then. You can also provide your own product category or select automatic categorization which is done by Google.

7. Alternatively you can choose a product on your store and provide data. For variable products, it is important to provide at least one of those: color, size, pattern, material, which should be names of attributes of product in WooCommerce.

8. Verify your website URL in your Google Merchant Center. In the settings menu (wrench icon) go to Business information > Website > HTML Tag.

9. Copy the meta tag.

10. Paste it into plugin’s option page, save changes and click “Verify URL” button on your Merchant Account.

11. Feed is generated and sent via FTP with a given time interval. You can download uploaded XML file and check the status of processing the feed on your merchant account.

12. Products are listed in Products > All products section of your Google Merchant Center.

You can now specify how often (in hours) you want to send products’ feed to Google servers.
