Let’s begin with the steps now.

Steps to Auto-Sync WooCommerce Products to Google Merchant Shop

You need to follow a few specific steps to set it up.

• Step 1 – Collect Client ID And Client Secret
• Step 2 – Get Your Google Merchant ID
• Step 3 – Sync Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce With Google Merchant Shop
• Step 4 – Schedule the Auto-Sync

Step 1 – Collect Client ID And Client Secret

i. Create A Project

First, go to Google Developers Console and log in with your Google account. You will see a dashboard like this:

If you already have a project created for your products, you can use the same, or you can create a new project if you don’t have one yet.

To do this, you need to click on New Project. Here you will be given a list of projects that you have created so far.

Click on New Project to set up a new project.

Now provide the required information.

Here, you can change the Project Name/ Project ID if you want.

Once the project is ready, you will get a notification on the top right corner. You can select your new project from the New Project option or from the Notification dropdown.

ii. Enable Content API for Shopping

Content API for Shopping is an interface that allows you to interact with the merchant center platform directly. This helps you to increase the efficiency of your shop with proper data management in a more organized way.

To activate it for your current project, Go to the Dashboard. Select ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES.

It will take you to the API Library Dashboard.

Search for Content API for Google Shopping and select the Content API for Shopping option

Click on the Enable button to enable the Content API for the Shopping option

However, you don’t need to enable this Content API for Shopping if you see that it is enabled in the first place.

iii. Create Credentials

This is the most important part where you will need to set up credentials to make the API work properly. Let’s get started.

a. OAuth Consent Screen

Click on the OAuth Consent Screen option on the left, and It will take you to the OAuth Consent Screen.

Select External as the User Type and click on the Create button.

Now fill up the forms and click on the SAVE AND CONTINUE button.

The terms you will face here are

OAuth Consent Screen

• Application Name

The name of the App you are asking for consent. You need to provide this otherwise you can not approach with your step.

• Application Logo

The identical image of your app to be specific, a logo of your app. Customers will recognize your app based on this image.

• Support Email

This email ID will help your customers to reach you in need of user support. The google id you used to log in to your google console will be placed here by default.

• Authorized Domain

You must enter the application URL here. Otherwise, Google won’t mark your domain as authorized. As you can see in the picture below, I provided my domain, cloudwaysapps.com.

Your domain will probably already be there by default but in case you see that there is no domain, you should provide the authorized domain of your shop here.

• Application Homepage/Privacy Policy/ TOS Link

These are the respective homepage and privacy policy/ terms and service links of your application and they will be previewed on your consent screen. But it has to be hosted on your authorized domain — otherwise no need to fill the box.

Provide the Application Name and Authorized Domain(s) to start the process. You can add the rest of the options later.

Click on SAVE AND CONTINUE.

Scopes

• Scopes for Google APIs

You are provided with a list of scopes here. You can also add your own. The level of scopes you choose here (such as email/profile/OpenID/custom), your application can access only that part of your user’s data.

Click on SAVE AND CONTINUE.

Test Users

Assign Test Users

While the publishing status is set to “Testing”, only test users are able to access the app. Allowed user cap prior to app verification is 100, and is counted over the entire lifetime of the app. 

You can provide access to the test users from here.

Click on SAVE AND CONTINUE.

It will show you a summary and your registration is now complete.

b. OAuth Client ID

Go back to Credentials. Click on the blue button Create credentials and choose OAuth Client ID from the drop-down menu.

At first, select Web Application as the Application Type.

You will see the following info:

The terms you will face here are

• Name

You need to provide a name here to approach. It is the name of your OAuth(Open Authorization) Client ID. As you can see, I have set the name as Test Guide Web App1.

• Authorized JavaScript Origins

It is the origin URI of the client application. It is not always mandatory to use. However, if you are using a non-standard port, you should include it here.

• Authorized Redirect URIs

After the authentication with Google, this is the path you will need to redirect your users to your application. It can not be a public IP address and it has to be the matching Redirect URL from your plugin dashboard.

You will get the Redirect URL from your Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce dashboard. Go to Product Feed> Google Merchant Settings and you can see the redirect URL marked in the picture below.

Copy the address and paste it under Authorized redirect URIs and click Create.

You will see that under Credentials, you have an OAuth 2.0 Client ID created, and you will get the OAuth Client ID credentials.

Copy the Client ID and Secret and you can also download the credentials in JSON format for later use by clicking on the DOWNLOAD JSON button.

Close the box and you will see that a new OAuth 2.0 Client ID is added.

You can click on the ID to view and edit information.

Step 2 – Get Your Google Merchant ID

To get started with Google Merchants, follow this link. You will be taken to your merchant dashboard. From here you can monitor your feeds, product list, and some more options.

So when you send your WooCommerce Products to Google, they will be listed here.

Finding your merchant ID from here is easy. It is given just beside our Profile image as shown in the image below:

Copy the Merchant ID and save it.

Step 3 – Sync Product Feed Manager For WooCommerce With Google Merchant Shop

Finally, when you have your Client ID, Client Secret, and Merchant ID, Go to Your Dashboard> Product Feed> Google Merchant Settings.

Put all the information accordingly as shown below:

Once you have everything in place, click on Submit. After submitting, click on Authenticate.

It will redirect you to the permission page of Google. Allow your Google account to approve access to your authorized domain. Then you will get a message that ‘You are authorized’.

Step 4 – Schedule the Auto-Sync

Now that the setup is complete, you can go to your product feed, and on the right side of the page, you will see that there is the new feature, Send to Google Merchant.

Under this section, you will have the options:

• Target Country
• Target Language
• Schedule
• Select Hour

First, choose the Target Country and the Language.

FYI:
You have to input a short form, and it has to match Google’s format. At first, you can see a small paragraph with a ‘Click here’ link. Go there and check the short forms of your desired target country and language to be accurate.

Next, you can set your schedule according to your own will.

Choose between Weekly, Monthly, or Hourly basis.

You can go to your Google Merchant Center > Feed and check the feed that was sent.

Since the schedule is set, this feed will be updated automatically according to the schedule, regularly.
