How to add all of your Products to Google Products Search service.

This is probably one of the most underestimated features in the suite of social reach tools that VendingBox offers – and it's completely free to use. 

Merchants can submit their full product list to the Google Product Search database in literally just a few clicks.  Simply sign into your account and go through the steps as directed under Manage Products > Google Shopping.   It takes just two minutes!



What is Google Products Search?
Google Product Search is a free facility provided by Google to help shoppers find and buy products from anywhere on the web.  As a merchant, you can submit your all of you products to Google Product Search listings in one go, allowing shoppers to quickly and easily find any of your products and your website.

  
How to add your products to Google Product Search using VendingBox...

1.  Log in and go to Manage products > Google Shopping...  Fill in the details as required.
Note: Avoid using Ltd., GmbH, and other such localized titling features - Google does not permit these.  




2. Your account will sometimes go into a processing queue at Google, but in most cases, if you refresh after say 10 seconds the account and the details relating to it, will be displayed when you click on reload...



3. Click on reload and the following should appear.  Note that you have an account with Google, you must now submit your product list.  Do this by simply clicking on the countries you wish to have your products found in, and click 'Create feed'.



4.   You will then be asked to tick the boxes to ensure that you comply with the terms of use as set out by Google.   Once ticked, click Create feed.




5. Now that you have created a feed, the details relating to it will be displayed as shown below.  It will initially say that your feed was set to Google for processing, but generally, this occurs happens quickly, and on refreshing a minute or two later, your feed will be displayed as active.






6.  An active feed is listed as below.




Please note, that only one Google ‘Account’ creation is possible in each VendingBox ‘account’.  However, a ‘feed’ can be created using this account for some or all of the countries for which Google has enabled the service.
