Google Shopping Business Condition

The business condition, Validate Google Shopping Product, verifies that a product contains the attributes that are required for all products submitted to Google Shopping. That is, it only verifies that the minimum requirements are met. To ensure that all local requirements and specific product requirements are met, see the Google Products Feed Specification.

When you use Validate Google Shopping Product you can validate products on approval or inside a workflow. That means you do not have to wait until the outbound integration endpoint is run.

The validation performed by a business condition is slightly different from the one performed by the outbound integration endpoint.

The business condition does not know about terms lists because these are configured for individual endpoints. This means that the business condition does not validate whether a product has a price even though this is a required attribute. This check takes place when the outbound integration endpoint is run.

To Specify a Google Shopping Business Condition

1. In System Setup, expand Business Rules, and select the relevant business condition.
2. On the Business Rule tab, in the Valid Object Type field, click the ellipsis button (…), and then select the object types that you want to apply the condition to.
3. In the lower left corner, click Add New Business Condition.
4. Click the Edit Operation icon.
5. In the Edit Operation dialog, from the drop-down list, select the Validate Google Shopping Product.

All information required to perform the validation is found using the Google Shopping component model, so no further configuration is required.
