Google Merchant Center (Google Shopping)

ELECTED JURY'S FAVORITE AT PRESTASHOP AWARDS CEREMONY

WHAT THIS MODULE DOES FOR YOU

Showcase your products on all the channels of Google Ads Shopping campaigns and develop your visibility without further delay. Make yourself known internationally in an accelerated way and get thousands of new highly qualified visitors to your shop.

With over a decade of success, our Google Merchant Center (Google Shopping) module is by far the most robust and complete Google Shopping module on the market. Far ahead of its competitors, our module is recommended by the largest e-commerce agencies, on the one hand for its simplicity of configuration and on the other hand for the guarantee of exporting to Google Merchant Center a high quality data feed that meets all Google's requirements.

The module has been developed to allow you to create, step by step, a product data feed for which you are in control of the information. We have included, throughout the configuration, links to a precise and complete documentation based on Google's official regulations. You quickly get a clear product data file that you can export to Google Merchant Center and which you can schedule to be updated automatically at the desired frequency.

New from Google: with a quality product data feed, you now have the ability to display for free your products on Google Shopping, and other compatible Google properties, in "free product listings". Thanks to our module, which meets all Google requirements for quality and completeness of product data, you are sure to meet all eligibility criteria to use this feature, so don't hesitate any longer!

Any questions? Our support department has many years of experience and a high level of expertise regarding the rather strict constraints and demands of Google Merchant Center, and will be happy to answer your questions in the best possible way!

For even more features, such as the ability to create precise product exclusion rules, export your promotions and product reviews, or create customized segmentation of your catalog with advanced custom labels, discover the PRO version of the module.
