Hi nicolas
I no not really understand the what the google plugin does, but I am sure it will help promote the site. However, I looked at the plugin page, and it asks for a xml file. Where do I get this file?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

In the options of the plugin ( that you can access via the plugins manager of joomla ), you have a download link on which you can click to download the xml.

Thank you.
I assume the username and password asked for on that page are the google ones?

They are only needed if you're planning on using the FTP auto upload function of the plugin. If you donwload the xml yourself and add it to your google merchant account yourself, you don't need to fill in the username and password.
But yes, it should be your google merchant username and password.

Thank you. I have filled in my clients username and password, and have enabled auto upload. Can you tell me how google gets the information to list the items in their shopping pages. In other words, how do they know we are selling vinyl records? Is it only from the site description? Or is it from the individual items meta tags? If so, what column heading can I put on my csv file for keywords?

Many thanks

Sarah

The items information will be sent by the plugin automatically to google's servers. There is nothing to do other than configure your Google Merchant account and your google product plugin as explained in : www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...google-products.html
