With the Google product feed, you can display your online store's products in Google's services.

The Google product feed is a file automatically generated from the product information of a selected store version, and its content is regularly transmitted to Google's Merchant Center.

The Google product feed subscription also includes conversion tracking, which provides concrete information about the effectiveness of your advertising through Google's tools. This way you can determine, for example, how many customers have come to your online store by following an ad link seen on Google's channels and then placed an order.

The Google product feed is part of the MyCashflow Product Feeds extension.

Ordering product feeds

Only an admin account can order product feeds.

Here's how to order a new version-specific Google product feed for the online store:

  1. Go to the Account > Extensions > Product feeds page on the admin panel.
  2. Press the Google product feeds subheading's Order new product feed button and, if necessary, select the store version whose products you want in the feed.
  3. Select the target countries for the feed.
    • The countries available for selection depend on the language of the version. A feed for an English version can be targeted to any country, but a Finnish feed, for example, is only available in Finland.
    • To add or remove target countries later, click the three-dot icon on the product feed line and select Edit or Delete.
  4. Accept the terms of service and press the Order and create product feed button.
  5. Valinnainen: If necessary, enter the Google conversion settings (conversion ID and conversion label), which can be accessed via the three-point icon on the product feed row.
    • After you have entered the conversion settings, Google Ads allows you to track the sales generated through the feed's ads.
    • You can add conversion tracking afterwards and disable it at any time.

      The Google Ads conversion settings defined in the feed settings will overwrite any other Ads tracking scripts that are used in the version.

Once you have completed the order, the feed details and address will be visible on the extension page. You can view the content of the feed by copying the feed URL into the browser's address bar. Note that not all browsers may be able to display large feeds.

Enhanced conversions

The Google Ads enhanced conversions provide online stores with an effective way to measure conversions and identify buyers even in situations where cookie usage is restricted. This feature improves the accuracy of conversion tracking and enhances the optimization of price offers, which can improve the cost-effectiveness of advertising.

The MyCashflow Google-tuotesyötesupports enhanced conversions, but the feature must be enabled in Google Ads management:

  1. Log in to the Google Ads management at https://ads.google.com/
  2. Enable the feature on the Goals > Settings > Enhanced Conversions page.

    Select Google tag as the data management method and save the settings.

  3. Enable enhanced conversions in the campaign conversion settings:
    1. Go to the page Goals > Summary.
    2. On the page, open the conversion for which you want to enable enhanced conversions.
    3. Enable the feature in the conversion data section under Edit Settings > Enhanced Conversions.
    4. Save the conversion settings.

With the setting enabled, the enhanced conversion data are included in all future conversion events.

Google conversion tracking events

With conversion tracking, you can determine, for example, how many customers have come to your online store by following an ad link seen on Google's channels and then placed an order.

If the conversion settings have been disabled in the Product Feeds extension, tracking may come from other extensions in use (e.g., Google Ads or Tag Manager).

Google conversion tracking consent mode is denied by default. In order to obtain user consent, you must implement a consent management tool.

The easiest solution for managing consents in an online store is MyCashflow's Cookie and Consent Management service, which you don't have to maintain yourself.

Using product features to modify the contents of a product feed

With MyCashflow's product features, you can add product information to a feed that the feed does not natively support (such as an environmental certificate granted to the product or the product's inclusion in a specific discount campaign).

When you use product features to define, for example, product environmental certificates, first create a new product attribute using a custom identifier (such as eco_certificate). Activate the Display as product feature on product pages selection in the product attribute settings.

After this, add values to the product attribute with identifiers to specify environmental certificates.

Finally, you can enable the product attribute as a product feature for products or variations. The product feature you specified will appear in the product feed when the feed is updated next time.

Examples

The name and value of each product attribute set for a product or variation are structured in the product feed according to the parameter g:product_detail. If, for example, you have defined an attribute named Environmental Certificate for a product, with the value Öko-Tex 100 the name and value of the attribute are included in product details as follows:
<g:product_detail><g:attribute_name>Environmental certificate</g:attribute_name><g:attribute_value>Öko-Tex 100</g:attribute_value></g:product_detail>
In product attributes, it is possible to use different types of identifiers depending on the nature of the product feature:
  • optional identifiers
  • identifiers of standard attributes
  • custom identifiers

Optional identifiers

An optional identifier for a product attribute is useful when the product feature does not correspond to any standard attribute supported by the product feed. You can format the optional identifier in any way you like (for example, the identifier for the Environmental Certificate attribute could be environmental_sertificate just as well as eco_certificate).

Identifiers of standard attributes

Certain product feed parameters correspond to the identifiers of the feed's standard attributes:

  • color
  • size
  • material
  • pattern
  • condition
If, for example, you have defined an attribute for a product using the color identifier, with the value blue, it will also appear as a separate element in the product information as follows:
<g:color>blue</g:color>

Custom identifiers

If you define a product feature for internal store use only (for example, to group products included in a discount campaign), you can use an a custom identifier as the product attribute identifier:

  • custom_label_0
  • custom_label_1
  • custom_label_2
  • custom_label_3
  • custom_label_4

If a product attribute uses an custom_label identifier, the identifier of the attribute value is also included in the feed as a separate element. As identifiers for attribute values, for example, outlet and spring_2025 would appear in the feed as follows:


          <g:custom_label_0>outlet</g:custom_label_0><g:custom_label_1>spring_2025</g:custom_label_1>

Shipping countries

The product feed automatically uses the store version's language and default currency. By defining the delivery countries in the settings, you can provide the customer with more information about the product.

The list below shows the countries where you can advertise your products using the Google product feed. You can target an English store version product feed to any selectable country, but depending on the target country, product feeds from store versions in other languages may also be possible (alternative languages are mentioned in parentheses).

  • Netherlands (Dutch)*
  • Australia
  • Belgium (Dutch, French)*
  • Spain (Spanish)
  • Ireland
  • Italy (Italian)
  • Austria (German)*
  • Canada

If a country or language you are interested in is missing from the table, please contact the MyCashflow customer support via the admin panel's chat feature, for example. We can explore the possibility of expanding language and country support.

Specifying the language and currency of a product feed

You can specify the language and currency of your product feed according to the target country, which will make your ads more efficient in this country.

Here's how to specify the language and currency according to the target country:

  1. Enable the Currency Converter extension, and select the target country's currency in its settings.

    If you sell to Sweden, you may want to enable Klarna Payments in your Swedish version in order to be able to accept payments directly in the Swedish krona.

  2. Create a store version in the target country's language.
    • Select the target country's currency as the version's default currency.
    • Select the target country as the version's default country.

When you specify store version settings according to the instructions above, your customers will see the same information and prices both in the ads that appear in Google networks and in your online store.

Updating the product feed

Product feeds are updated automatically once a day in the early morning. Changes made to products in the online store or additions or deletions of products are therefore not immediately visible in the feeds.

You can also update the product feed manually on the admin panel's Account > Extensions > Product feeds page by pressing the button next to the feed to be updated. You can update the feed once every 30 minutes.

Deleting a product feed

Here's how to delete a product feed from a version and terminate the associated advertising:

  1. Go to the admin panel's Account > Extensions > Product feeds page.

    The ordered product feeds are listed in the bottom section on the extension page.

  2. Press the Delete button for the product feed to be deleted.

    A dialog window opens, asking for confirmation that you want to delete the feed permanently.

  3. Press the Delete button in the dialog window.

    The product feed is deleted from the list of feeds.

The advertising associated with the deleted product feed will cease once the ad service's bot next time checks the updates for your product feeds.
