About & Usage of the Google plugin

Every duplicate config options and utils between the google plugins (google_shopping, google_rich_snippets) should be added in this plugin. This way we keep it clean. If in the future something new is moved/added, please write unit tests if this a breaking change!

Product type

By default the google shopping product type is based on the oscar product class name. For sites having a LOT if product types, this is not feasable and it is possible to store the product type on a product attribute instead. If so required, specify the product_type_attribute in ocyan.json

Configuration

Settings you need to configure in config.json

• gtin_attribute

  • If you fill in a GTIN attribute on your product, google can identify the product and will know all product specifications.

  • The default product attribute code for this is "barcode", which you can change with this config option.

  • Note: The GTIN is validated (see utils.py), as google knows if you entered a invalid code here. If you do not fill in the attribute, it will fallback on the UPC as GTIN (If this is a valid one, because this one gets validated aswell!)

• mpn_attribute

  • MPN stands for "Manufacturer Part Number", it's a unqiue number that is issued by manufacturers to identify individual products.

  • The default product attribute for this is "mpn", which you can change with this config option.

  • Note: If GTIN is filled in on the product, this attribute is not required to be filled. However, if GTIN is not filled, then MPN and Brand are required by google.

• brand_attribute

  • Basically what the name says: The brand of the product. Google requires this for your feed! If you don't know the brand, just fill something in.

  • The default product attribute for this is "brand", which you can change with this config option.

• product_type_attribute

  • If you want to store product type on an attribute instead of the oscar productclass, specify the code of the attribute here.

  • the default product_type on the google shopping feed will be the product class name.

• recaptcha_public_key

  • The public key for recaptha

• recaptcha_private_key

  • The private key for recaptcha

• recaptcha_version

  • There are three versions: v2, v2-invisible and v3. By default it uses v2.

Example:

    "google": {
        "gtin_attribute": "custom_gtin",
        "mpn_attribute": "custom_mpn",
        "brand_attribute": "custom_brand",
        "recaptcha_public_key": "xxxx",
        "recaptcha_private_key": "xxxx",
        "recaptcha_version": "v3"
    }
