Google Shopping Unique Product Identifier

[hammer]

We recently received this from Google concerning our Google product submission to Google Shopping. Some of our products are harvested and theirfore have no unique product identifier. Previously our submission has received an exemption from the Google requirement. Now they are requiring us to add a field. My question, is what is the best way to do this is ShopSite Pro v11 sp2 r3. Here are the instructions from Google:

--------------
Google recently introduced a new attribute named ‘identifier exists’ that
allows you to indicate in your feed that items such as custom goods,
vintage items, or collectibles have no unique product identifiers. Since
you previously received an account exemption from the unique product
identifier requirements, you should add the ‘identifier exists’ attribute
with a value of ‘FALSE’ for items where no identifier exists. For more
information on this attribute, please visit

What is the best way to proceed in Shopsite? Thank you.

Go to Preferences > Extra fields and name one of the Extra Product fields "identifier_exists" (without the quote marks)
Go to Merchandising > Google Services > Google Shopping > Configure and check the box for the Attributes field identifier_exists
Go to your products that need the identifier_exists value set to FALSE and in the Extra Field with the name identifier_exists enter FALSE. (also make sure other Google required fields contain appropriate values.)

Submit your feed and it will contain an entry like this
<g:identifier_exists><![CDATA[FALSE]]></g:identifier_exists>

That should work for the feed since CDATA just indicates that it is the text value enclosed in the [ ] so in this case FALSE.

Thank you, Jim. That worked perfectly. The new field and value are in the product feed and showing up properly in the Merchant Center product item data. Thanks!

So far the correct information is showing up in the Google Product Information. So far, so good.
