How to add google attributes (sepcially age_group and gender) at product creation

Hello all ,

 

While I'm creating a new product in my store, I want to be able to add some required Google Merchant's attributes  (specially gender and age group) simultaneously , not fixing them later after Google's warning.

 

If not possible for any reason, at least loading them later via some sort of a CSV file, because i have a lot of products , and manual editing is not that cool !

 

The simultaneous approach is much more  appreciated, and no 3rd party apps .

 

best regards

Waw

Thank you Clarice . I've been listing my products in Google Shopping since
last year , before moving to Shopify , that's why I've listing errors
received via Google & YouTube app in the new Shopify store.
Yesterday I figured out a way to enter Google attributes at the product
insertion, but i'll test it in the next few days , when i insert the next
patch of products, which I'm currently working on its data .

Thank you for your sincere advice.

Hi @wawmegastore ,

 

If you are using the Google & YouTube app, go to the Overview section, click on Manage Products.

 

You'll see the list of variants. Scroll towards your right and look for the gender and age group column.

 

After making the changes, click on Save and it will auto-sync to Google Merchant Center.

 

Best,

Clarice

Hello Clarice,

Thank you for your advice , and this is what i'm already doing, but that
was not the question.

The question was about inserting that google information at product
creation , not editing it later.

That is either at "Add product" , or "Import" , both buttons are at the
"Products" screen.

Best

Google Shopping Gender &  Age Group are information needed ONLY if you plan to have your products listed on Google Shopping. 

 

This information is not compulsory during product creation but rather only if you choose to set up a product feed for Google Merchant Center using the Google & YouTube app.

 

Without any third party apps, there is currently no functionality to add those values when you are adding your products (on the product pages).

 

Best,

Clarice

I suggest uploading 1 product manually and then exporting. I exported products and the CSV had all the required fields that you would need to import correctly.

Here are the fields I had, that include all the Google / YouTube app fields (Each one being it's own column in the CSV file:

NOTE: You can go into Google Merchant to see the expected results for each field

Google Shopping / Google Product Category,
Google Shopping / Gender,
Google Shopping / Age Group,
Google Shopping / MPN,
Google Shopping / Condition,
Google Shopping / Custom Product,
Google Shopping / Custom Label 0,
Google Shopping / Custom Label 1,
Google Shopping / Custom Label 2,
Google Shopping / Custom Label 3,
Google Shopping / Custom Label 4,

Does this still work? Shopify no longer seems to show the google columns.

I can download a .csv containing all products with a specific type of error from Google Merchant Centre but see no way to upload the corrected .csv.  Most of my products come in 10 colours and 10 sizes so google sees these as 100 different products and it's just so time consuming to try and fix one by one. Adding feed rules have helped a bit but still can't get it all to work.

No - seems to have gone in past week from bulk editor.  I think on Fri I was editing and was accessible and now not.
But accessible via CSV in Shopify CSV or Matrixify CSV.

Oh Golly Gee Willikers, who'd have thought !!??  - Another way for shopify to milk more money out of you for something that should and was part of your subscription.  Holy Cow ... or should I say Cash Cow 

 

I Believe you can add it under Custom Label in the bulk editor   custom label 1 = age_group: Adult    custom label 2 = gender: Unisex and so on ...

I got around this very annoying ommission by adding feed rules in google merchant centre. Worth searching for how to do that.

For example I set up a rule that if the product title included "baby" to se the age group to "infant".

I used the Bulk edit feature in Google & Youtube app, and there is field that I can add age and gender. Does it not work this way?
