How it works

The Google Manufacturer connector works in a very similar to the other connectors in Sales Layer. It allows you to use all the usual features with specific filtering using tags, search engines, or Attribute Sets. For details on how to use the connector, please, refer to the general Sales Layer user manual.

It is important to remember that if a product is included in several categories, there may be problems with the information appearing in the Google Manufacturer Center once for each category. This will be indicated in the report provided by Google Manufacturer Center.

If you do not want this to happen, you will need to make sure that you deactivate the categories tab (it is activated by default).

You can do the same thing with the variants tab. Treating the items as unique products.

Once the connector has been generated, it is a matter of selecting the content fields you wish to provide to Google Manufacturer. Remember that some are mandatory, while others are optional, and they may require a specific format.

To learn more about each field, there is an information button in the Sales Layer connector that directs you to the official Google Manufacturer documentation.
