Nexternal: Set Up the Automated Google Shopping Feed

Written by Pamela Topper

Product: Nexternal

There are three steps to setting up your Google Product Search / Google Shopping Feed.
​
First, create a Google account and/or log into Google Merchant Center.
​
Second, configure your Google Merchant Center Settings in your Google Merchant Account.
​
Third, navigate in your Nexternal Order Management System (OMS) to Products/ Export/ Traffic Tools, and click the Preferences link next to Marketplace Exports. Then configure your settings and enter your FTP login credentials from Google Merchant Center.
​
​Please make sure you have the "Upload" Input Method selected on the Google Merchant Center / Feed / Name & Input Method screen in the 'Choose an Input Method' section. (The Google Merchant Center "Fetch' input method will not work with the Google Product Search Automated Data Feed.)
​
Once configured, visit the Google Merchant Center Settings icon (wrench icon in the top navigation of Google Merchant Center), select the 'SMTP/FTP/GCS' option in the drop down menu, then expand the "FTP Settings section" to generate and copy your Google Merchant Center FTP Username and Password.
​
Copy this Google Merchant Center FTP Username and Password and paste it into the OMS (Products/ Export Traffic Tools / Marketplace Exports Preferences / Google Shopping Options/ Google Shopping FTP User Name and Google Shopping FTP Password) (and retype password field as well.)
