Google Product Feed (WooCommerce plugin, Ademti)
The Google Product Feed plugin is developed by a company called Ademti, and sold through WooCommerce [1]. It's probably the closest thing to a 'native WooCommerce product feed plugin'.
My first impression (2022.10) is one of dissapointment: It seems quite limited, compaired to Product Feed Pro (AdTribes) that we used before. A customization that we usually need, is to replace images by externally hosted images (because of logos). With Product Feed Pro, that's a piece of cake. With this plugin, it seems only possible through coding.
After installation:
- Plugins » WooCommerce Google Product Feed
- WooCommerce » Settings » Product Feeds: General settings. Aka. main extention page
- WooCommerce » Product Feeds: Instantiated product feeds: The only thing to configure here, is to limit the output to certain category taxons. Everything else happens at the Settings screen.
- Product » All Products: At the bottom of a product page, there is an new section Product Feed Information. Here, you can overrun default values
Brainstorm
- General settings: I can't use product excerpt for short description → [2]
