Setting up Fields in your Accounting System

Three custom fields are used for your Google Feeds integration and will be created on your products in the web catalogue:

• GoogleProduct - this can be mapped to a custom checkbox field in your accounting system and specifies which products to include in the feed
• GoogleSetProductCategory - this can be mapped to a custom text field in your accounting system and is mandatory
  • This field should be populated with values from the google_product_category field from Google's specifications
• GoogleProductCategory - this can be mapped to a custom text field in your accounting system but is optional
  • This can contain any text to categorise the product
  • If left blank it will use the website product categorisation
  • This field maps to the product_type field from Google's specifications
