Market Places - Settings - Google

Breadcrumb path: Market Places / Settings / Google

This section of the guide will cover the Market Settings - Google module. To use this module effectively, you must first sign up for a Google Merchant Account.

You can access this Build CMS page by clicking on Market Places from your main menu and then Settings from the dropdown menu. Next, click on Google inside the frame to the right.

Market Settings - Google Fundamental

This module enables you to map, manage, and generate product page (XML) data for your Google Merchant account based on product information from your Build CMS Account. Once you add a product or products to Google Merchant Center from Market Places - Products, those Settings can be managed from here.

After all the Settings have been adjusted to your preferences, you can Download the data manually or have it channeled to your webpage as a Feed. You can also have it automatically exported on a specified interval schedule. That data can then be uploaded directly to your Google Business account to create a product page in Google Merchant.

This section will be separated into 6 parts:

• ● 1 General Settings.
