 * Hi,
 * You’ve a great product and I like the support you give on this forum.
 * I need help getting the Google Shopping feed and Local Inventory feed to display
   the Product id in the same way so that they link.
 * I’ve got our Google Shopping Feed and Local Inventory Feed (LIF) uploading to
   Google Merchant. The Primary Feed displays all our products correctly. The LIF
   holds all the products on the file it uploads to Google Merchant but an error
   appears in Google Merchant i.e.
    “Offer does not exist” “The update could not
   be matched to an offer. Please make sure to use the identifier of an existing
   offer and check that the country of sale of the feed is correct.”
 * I think I have identified the problem i.e.
    The Google Shopping Feed Maps “g:
   id” to “Product id” and on the upload file displays “woocommerce_gpf_24028” (
   as an example), but the LIF maps “item id” to “Product id” and displays on the
   upload file “24028” (again, as an example). How can I get both files to display
   the Product id in the same way ie “24028”?
 * Many thanks for your support and I hope you are keeping away from the Corona 
   virus 🙂
 * Andrew

 * Having looked at it more I now note that the Primary Feed sends a file to Google
   Merchant from your plugin with –
 * <g:id>29583</g:id>, which is what I would expect.
 * But when I upload the file to Google Merchant, process it in Google Merchant 
   and then download the equivalent file it nows shows the Product id as –
    <g:ID
   >woocommerce_gpf_29583</g:ID>
 * How do I stop Google Merchant from changing how the product id is displayed?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Andrew,
 * Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us. Sorry to hear you are experiencing
   issues with your feeds.
 * Google doesn’t change product ID’s itself so it must be coming from somewhere.
   Are you sure you have refetched and reprocessed your product feed in your merchant
   center so Google is looking at the most recent version of your feed(s)?

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
 * Each new fetch I create I alter one of my products first (e.g. add a word to 
   the description). I then download the fetched file and look for the additional
   word, if it is there I know the latest file was used by Google.
 * I’ll re-run my process i.e.
    a) add a word b) refresh the feed in wordpress, 
   check the output file and confirm the additional word is there. c) Go to Google
   Merchant and fetch the latest file, then re-process the file. Check the products
   list for the additional word and check the product id.
 * You never know it may work this time. If it doesn’t I can send you the relevant
   files to review.
 * Fingers crossed!

 * Hi, the fault remains :(. I carried out the change as described above and know
   that the file in Google Merchant is the latest feed.
 * Here is an extract from the file downloaded from your plugin –

 * Hi,
 * Then Google is still retrieving an old product feed of you. Our plugin also doesn’t
   add the CDATA stuff in the feed.
 * See paragraph 7 of this tutorial where you can change the feed location in your
   merchant center: [https://adtribes.io/setting-up-your-first-google-shopping-product-feed/](https://adtribes.io/setting-up-your-first-google-shopping-product-feed/)

 * Problem solved.
 * I’m ‘an idiot’.
 * I’d tell you what the error was caused by but I’m not going to publicly embarrass
   myself.
