Duplicate ID in google merchant. Bug

Hi Francesco,

Indeed, we do make the assumption that SKUs would be unique…as they should be.

In your case, we do have a filter:

$g_id = apply_filters( 'wpsc_google_product_feed_product_id', $g_id, $post );

So you could add the following code to use the guid of the product instead of the SKU:

add_filter( 'wpsc_google_product_feed_product_id', function( $sku, $post ){
     return preg_replace( '/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', '', $post->guid ) ;
}, 10, 2 );

Add that code to your functions.php file or a custom functionality plugin and you should be fine.

thx for the quick feedback!

I will give it a try!
btw, if the SKU should be unique it should also be automatically controlled if a user is inserting 2 times the same value.

I mean… you want to prevent to have 2 products with the same SKU.

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for that feedback! We’ll definitely consider that – but for now, we’ve elected to put that burden on the store owner. I could imagine a user experience where, upon entering a SKU, and dynamic call could be made and simply alert the user that a product is already using that SKU, but it’s nothing I imagine we’d enforce at a DB schema level.

Thanks again!

Thx Justing
for the hard work that you are putting in. I am just happy to contribute how I can.
