Google Merchant Issues because of Google for woo

Hi there,

Regarding the first issue the message mentions that it is regarding the size attribute. Would you be able to clarify how you have this setup for your products.

According to the documentation only one value should be set per product/variation: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324492?hl=en

Are you entering the size attribute directly in the product or are you using some Attribute Mapping rules to define the size values?

Regarding the checkout link, you are correct that Google for WooCommerce doesn’t support this. There is some discussion in the following issue on how this can be accomplished: https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/issues/2125

Note: If you are not familiar with PHP code snippets, you’ll need the help of a developer, as that’s not something we can provide direct support for.

Hello Thanks for reply,
I set product size variation like this:

Thanks for clarifying. If you only have one variation that covers all sizes, can you confirm what the size field is set to? You can find this by clicking on the edit button and then expanding the Google for WooCommerce tab to see the size field.

In the documentation Google recommends to use the following for multiple sizes:

Don’t submit multiple sizes separated by a comma?(?,?). Instead, use a slash. For example, enter “small/medium/large” (and not “small, medium, large”).

The other alternative is to create a separate variation for each size, so each variation can have an individual size.

Let us know how that goes.

Yeah sure.
here it is.

I am using google method I guess “using slashes”, and I don’t want a separate variation for each size. since my products price is same for all sizes.

I think problem is Google for woo plugin is generating size feed like this

<g:size>S/L/XL</g:size>

However according to Google Merchant Center Guide each product variation feed should be separated but having same ID to recognize variations of product.

Thanks for the clarification, on how you have the size attributes configured.

Yes that’s correct, it will submit it as one size attribute. The only way to currently get around that is to create a variation in WooCommerce per size, so each size can be set individually.

I tested those same values on a test product, and looking at the levels of errors/warnings, it doesn’t seem like it limits product visibility, but is just showing up as an optional notice to fix:

So in that case I wouldn’t be too worried about this notice as long as you ensure you fix any of the other attributes on the product.

But if you would really like to clear that up then you’d need to create a separate variation for each size. When variations are synced they’ll be linked through a common item_group_id. We don’t support syncing product details multiple times with the same product ID.

I guess your devs should solve this problem, WooCommerce is great, but NGL extensions sucks sometimes. Why do I need to add x10 variations when I am just providing all sizes?
Instead your devs should work and fix it. The Plugin Google for woo should detect all sizes or color and make <item-group-id> that is the sole purpose of plugin right to make life easier? otherwise we can move to manual feed aswell.

If I follow your method it will take me ages to add one product with even 4 sizes because I will need to fill same details in required variation and repeat my self not DRY at all.
