Hi, the XML is rendered correctly:

so the question is if the value is accepted. Just try to test if this value is OK for this tag.

Hi

I am receiving the following warnings (see 1st image) in Google Merchant after uploading XML feed

The price seems to be correctly formatted so does anyone know why Goole Merchant throws an error?

This is how I filled out the xml.

I've been around the Google docs and read the docs here: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/116-phoc ... chant-feed

Any help would be great :)

Regards
David

UPDATE

I have tried <g:price> and <price> as tags in field 'Final Price (with VAT)'

Also, removed currency from tag, by:

XML Feed > [feed name] > Feed Options > Price Including Currency - Set to: No

Hi Jan

Yes, I've tried many combinations but Google Merchant still says price is invalid

Set in Field: Final Price (with VAT)
g:price, price
with currency and without currency

Currently, I have price set to the same as the PC docs example.


Final Price (with VAT): price

Feed Options:
Decimals: 2
Price Including Currency - No


But, the result is this:

Still struggling

But this site states that price must include country code: https://www.storegrowers.com/google-shopping-feed/
price
The product price + currency is a required attribute for all products. For example 15.00 USD. The currency needs to match the country you’re creating the feed for.

You need to include VAT into your price, except if you’re targeting the USA, Canada or India.
So, having a lot of trouble for what should be a simple field to import! (Not Phoca Cart problem - just hard to find clear info on what format is required)

Any UK users out there that have a successfully submitted feed, any help would be greatly appreciated, ie how you set your price in the Feed options

Regards

Google has this to say in its own instructions
Format
Follow these formatting guidelines to make sure that we understand the data that you're submitting.

Type Number plus currency (use ISO 4217)
Repeated field No
Schema.org property
(What's this?) Offer.priceSpecification, Type: PriceSpecification
File format Example entry
Text feeds 15.00 GBP
XML feeds <g:price>15.00 GBP</g:price>
This suggests, in Phoca Cart, the following:

Set Feed to Include Currency - Yes
enter g:price in Final Price (with VAT) Field

Hmmm, this value:

<g:price>44.99 GBP</g:price>

should be OK, exactly how it is written in Google guides :idea:

Which errors do you get now? Are still all the errors displayed like on first screenshot?

- Can be there some problem with cache?
- Is there a problem with the currency of your country (e.g. currency is not the one that is used in this country)?
