Manually exporting a data feed
Creating the data feed
To generate the data feed in PinnacleApp you need to navigate to:
Settings > Google Integration
Please then select the categories you would like to include in your Google Shopping Feed and click Generate Feed. You will be prompted to save the file, choose a location (such as your desktop) and save the file.
Tip:
We recommend creating a separate feed for each of your top-level categories. This makes it easier to manage the feeds in Google. If you need to upload a new feed because only 5 products changed you will not need to upload a huge file as this can take quite a while.
Uploading the data feed
To upload a data feed you will need to login to Google Merchant Center.
- Login to Merchant Center
- Navigate to 'Data feeds'
- Create a new feed and give it a name (we recommend using the date, for example feed_21_02_2014)
- Save changes
- Click 'settings' to access the feed settings
- Make sure 'Use Quoted Fields' is set to 'Yes'
- Save changes
- Click 'Manual upload'
- Browse to the data feed, select and upload
- Done
