 * Hello [@drwebbe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drwebbe/),
 * It looks like you’ve created a feed for a **Custom** channel instead of a **Google
   Shopping** channel. Once a feed is created, the channel cannot be changed.
 * In that case, create a new feed with **Google Shopping** channel and upload the
   feed on **Google Merchant Center** to resolve the issue. Please refer to the 
   below screenshots:

 * Cheers!
