Size Variant Format on Shopify and Google Channel

I’m troubleshooting settings to fix Google Merchant Center’s messages “Too many values (Size)” and “Invalid Value (Size)”. I’ve attached screenshots for visual reference. I’m set up Variants for just size values - typically S, M, L. In the Google Channel fields in Shopify there is one Size field and then you can put the various sizes in the Meta Size fields. My question is how to format the Size field in the Google Channel if there is just one field but three sizes? The SKU numbers for the variants are the same with the exception of a .S, .M, or .M after the SKU number. So for Small it would be SKU number of XXXXX.S for small.

Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? All products have an SKU number and Barcode #. Thanks in advance.

Aside from your size issue, make sure material is not comma separated by forward slash. Like you did with the color.

Make sure you only submit 1 color for that product, only add multiple colors if that products has multiple colors.

The free app you are using, does not have the function you are looking for to assign values to each variant.

You will need to use a different app that has this ability.

Hi Emanuel.

Really appreciate the help. I’ll fix the material format to /'s.

I’m not sure what App you are referring to. Do you mean the “Theme”? Also, what do you recommend?

Again, thanks!

Data feed app, is what I am referring to. IE the app that sends your product data to Google Merchant Center.

Hi!

Right now it is the case that the Google Channel will append your size attribute to the product variant title.

For example:

Your name for the product is “Red T-Shirt” and you have the variants S, M and L for it. Then the Google Channel will export it as “Red T-Shirt S”, “Red T-Shirt M” and “Red T-Shirt L”.

You can check this in the Google Merchant Center. If it is the case you can set up a feedrule to extract the size value fromt the title.

To do that:

  • Visit the Google Merchant Center
  • Go to your feeds and click on your feed coming from the Google Channel app probably it’s name is “Content API”
  • Click on the tab “Feedrules”
  • Click add rule
  • Select the attribute you like to add to the feed in this case “size”
  • In the next step set up the filter by selecting “title” as source and add S, M and L each in a new line as values to extract
  • In the advanced settings you should also check the box to be case sensitive when you write the sizes in capital letters
  • Then save the rule as a draft
  • After saving it you can test your rule and activate it if everyting is allright

Hope this will solve your issues regarding the size attribute!

Best regards!
