Does anybody know what I can use to feed my products into google shopping, my ecommerce store is woothemes based and wordpress native. Just wondering if there is a plugin or some straight forward way to feed google daily?

    Why don't you just fill out the spreadsheet yourself, or pay someone from oDesk to do it for you? I doubt there is a WP plugin for this, because the parameters that Google Shopping require are very specific. It's more likely that you would need a developer who knows their API.

    Anyway, you would still have to input all of your product information, so you may as well save yourself the hassle and do it at the source... By the way, there is no need to update the feed daily (unless you are changing prices and adding products daily). Google will keep your products showing for 30 days, after which you just need to resubmit the spreadsheet.

    You can get Google to generate the template feed for you:

    Then you just fill in the data - a new row for each product.

    I've created a custom PHP script that queries my database and re-names columns into the format Googley wants. It kicks out a txt file on my server daily and Google pulls from that location 10 minutes later. If you have fluctuations in stock and availability you are going to want to make sure you DO update daily. If your stock is pretty consistent then it shouldn't be a big deal.

      Hi could I have your script? How easy is it to implement?

    I'm not giving it out unfortunately, my partner and I are packaging it up to sell as a plugin. If you want my partner could install it on your platform and set it up to work for you but he would charge for it, PM me if you are interested and I can get you a price - it's not much for what it does.

    As it is it wouldn't be easy to implement unless you know a little bit about PHP and database querying. If you just want the script let me know, I can work something out for you but that would be without any support.
