Google Base Feed invalid item problem.

Postby arta!!ack » Tue Sep 28, 2010 7:11 am

Hi.

I am trying to use the Google Base Feed for the first time but have this problem.

I am just trying with this one product for now, I tried earlier and got 0 out of 169.

Using the API this is what Shopsite reports.

Generating XML Data file... Done.

Waiting for Google to Validate Your feed ... Done.

Generation and transmission successful.

0 Products Added to Google Base. ( 1 Products reported errors )

When I look at the feed to see what the problem is I get this.

status=Invalid item, title= Error, id= PID#588, message= <errors> <error type="data" field="price" reason="The attribute is invalid." /> </errors>

This is the XML code. I wonder if you can throw some light on the issue.

Arthur.

Code: Select all
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<feed     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

What version of ShopSite are you using? My guess is that you are using an older version of ShopSite (pre version 9.0.3). Google made many changes which needed to be changed in ShopSite as well. It is my understanding that the Google Product Search feature will only work in versions of ShopSite after version 9.0.3 (the current version is version 10 sp 2). More information about this can be found at the following URL:

I don't see a particular issue. Does Google support GBP for currency?
Note that Google frequently makes changes to what they require and what they will accept. If you go to the ShopSite Kbase http://support.shopsite.com/KBase/ and search for Google Base fixes you will find many between your ShopSite 10 r7.1 and the current 10 sp2 r2. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest version and see if the problem is fixed.
