Feed Preview for Google Shopping Feed

After enabling feed generation for a store view, the feed URL appears in the Feed Generation Settings table:

Location: Magmodules → Google Shopping - Feed → Feed Generation Settings

The table shows:

• Store view name
• Feed URL (click to view/download)
• Last generation time
• Number of products

Feed files are stored in:

var/export/googleshopping/

Default filename pattern: googleshopping_{store_id}.xml

Open the feed URL directly in your browser to see the raw XML. Most browsers format XML for readability.

Quick checks:

• Feed loads without errors
• Products are present
• Required attributes have values

For large feeds, download the file and open in a text editor or XML viewer:

# View first 100 lines
head -100 var/export/googleshopping/googleshopping_1.xml

# Search for specific SKU
grep "SKU123" var/export/googleshopping/googleshopping_1.xml

# Count products in feed
grep -c "<item>" var/export/googleshopping/googleshopping_1.xml

To check if a product is in the feed and how it's formatted:

1. Get the product ID or SKU from the Magento admin
2. Search in the feed file:

# Search by SKU
grep -A 50 "SKU123" var/export/googleshopping/googleshopping_1.xml

# Search by product ID
grep -A 50 "<g:id>123</g:id>" var/export/googleshopping/googleshopping_1.xml

For each product, verify:

• Product must be Enabled
• Check: Catalog → Products → Status column

• Must match filter settings
• Common issue: "Not Visible Individually" products filtered out
• Check: Filter Options → Visibility settings

• If "Exclude Out of Stock" is enabled, product must be in stock
• Check: Product → Quantity and Stock Status

• If category filter is active, product must be in an included category
• Check: Filter Options → Category settings

• Custom filter conditions may exclude the product
• Check: Filter Options → Advanced Filters

Enable detailed logging to see why products are excluded:

1. Go to Google Shopping - Feed → Debug
2. Set Debug Mode to Yes
3. Save and regenerate feed
4. Check var/log/googleshopping/ for details

Before submitting to Google, check:

• Feed loads without XML errors
• Product count matches expectations
• Required attributes have values (id, title, description, link, image_link, price, availability)
• Prices match your website
• Image URLs are accessible
• Landing page URLs work

Google provides feed diagnostics after upload:

1. Upload feed to Merchant Center (manually or via SFTP)
2. Go to Products → Diagnostics
3. Review errors and warnings
4. Fix issues in Magento configuration
5. Regenerate and re-upload

Click the Generate button in the feed table to regenerate immediately.

# Single store view
bin/magento googleshopping:feed:create --store-id=1

# All store views
bin/magento googleshopping:feed:create

CLI output shows progress and any errors during generation.

If cron is enabled, feeds regenerate automatically on schedule. Check cron_schedule table for execution status.
