How do Product Attributes work in Feedomix?

Introduction

The Product Attributes page allows merchants to manage additional product information required by Google Merchant Center. These attributes help Google better understand your products, improve feed quality, and increase the chances of product approval.

Using the Product Attributes page, merchants can review all active products, add missing attribute values, and update product information before synchronizing it with Google Merchant Center.

How Product Attributes Synchronization Works

Product Availability

All active products are displayed on the Product Attributes page, regardless of whether they have issues in the Diagnostics section.

This allows merchants to configure Google Merchant Center attributes for their products at any time without waiting for Diagnostics issues to be resolved.

Updating Product Attributes

Merchants can add or edit Product Attributes even if the product currently has unresolved issues in the Diagnostics section. The attribute values are saved in Feedomix but are not synchronized immediately with Google Merchant Center.

The updated Product Attributes will be synchronized only after all of the following conditions are met:

The merchant resolves all Diagnostics issues for the product.
The merchant generates the feed again.
The feed completes successfully.

Once the feed runs successfully and the Diagnostics issues are resolved, the pending Product Attributes are automatically included in the generated feed and synchronized with Google Merchant Center.

Important Notes

All active products appear on the Product Attributes page, even if they have unresolved Diagnostics issues.
Merchants can add or update Product Attributes at any time.
If a product has unresolved Diagnostics issues, the updated Product Attributes are saved successfully but remain pending.
Pending Product Attribute changes are synchronized only after the Diagnostics issues are resolved and the feed is generated successfully.
Generate the feed after resolving Diagnostics issues to synchronize the latest Product Attribute updates with Google Merchant Center.
If an attribute has already been manually added or edited directly in Google Merchant Center, changes made to the same attribute in Feedomix may not overwrite the existing value in Google Merchant Center.
For the best synchronization experience, manage Product Attributes through Feedomix before editing them directly in Google Merchant Center.

Overview

The Overview tab provides a summary of all products available for attribute management.

From this page, merchants can:

Review all active products available for attribute management.
Monitor available product attributes, including Google Product Category.
Quickly access individual attribute sections.
Manage product information before generating the next feed.

Google Product Category

The Google Product Category section allows merchants to assign the most appropriate Google-defined category to a product. Selecting the correct category helps Google Merchant Center better understand the product, improves feed quality, and increases the chances of product approval.

The category is selected from Google's official Product Taxonomy.

Overview

From the Product Attributes page, merchants can:

View the current Google Product Category assigned to each product.
Identify whether the category has been configured.
Open the product details to assign or update the category.

The Google Product Category column displays the current category assigned to the product.

If no category has been assigned, the status displays Not configured.

Examples

Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Shirts
Apparel & Accessories > Shoes
Electronics > Computers > Laptops
Electronics > Video > Televisions
Home & Garden > Furniture > Chairs
Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Camping Equipment

Updating Google Product Category

To assign or update a Google Product Category:

Open Product Attributes in Feedomix.
Locate the product you want to update.
Click View attributes.
Click the Edit icon next to Google Product Category.
Search for and select the category that best matches your product.
Save your changes.
If the product has unresolved Diagnostics issues, resolve them.
Generate the feed.
Wait for the feed generation to complete successfully.

Once the feed is generated successfully, the updated Google Product Category is synchronized with Google Merchant Center.

Important Notes

All active products appear on the Product Attributes page, even if they have unresolved Diagnostics issues.
Merchants can assign or update the Google Product Category at any time.
If a product has unresolved Diagnostics issues, the selected Google Product Category is saved in Feedomix but remains pending.
The updated Google Product Category is synchronized with Google Merchant Center only after the Diagnostics issues are resolved and the feed is generated successfully.
If the Google Product Category has already been manually updated directly in Google Merchant Center, changes made in Feedomix may not overwrite the existing value.

Google Custom Labels

Custom labels help categorize products based on business-specific requirements, making it easier to organize products for reporting, filtering, and Google Shopping campaigns.

Overview of Google Custom Labels

The Google Custom Labels page displays all active products, regardless of whether they have unresolved Diagnostics issues. Merchants can assign or update custom labels at any time. If a product has unresolved Diagnostics issues, the updated custom labels are saved in Feedomix and synchronized with Google Merchant Center only after the Diagnostics issues are resolved and the feed is generated successfully.

From this page, merchants can:

View all active products.
Assign or edit custom labels.
Organize products for Google Shopping campaigns.

Product

The Product column displays the Shopify product available for custom label assignment.

Variant

The Variant column displays the product variant associated with the selected product.

If a product has no variants, the Variant column displays "-".

Custom Label

The Custom Label column allows merchants to assign a custom value to a product.

Example values:

Best Seller

Summer Collection
Clearance
High Margin

Custom labels are used for campaign organization and reporting in Google Merchant Center.

Action

The Save button stores the custom label for the selected product.

After saving the changes, generate the feed to synchronize the updated labels with Google Merchant Center.

Updating Google Custom Labels

To update custom labels:

Open the Google Custom Labels page.
Select a product.
Enter or update the custom label.
Click Save.

Important Notes

All active products appear on this page, even if they have unresolved Diagnostics issues. If a product has unresolved Diagnostics issues, updated custom labels remain pending until the Diagnostics issues are resolved and the feed is generated successfully.
Generate the feed after saving changes to synchronize updated custom labels.
If a custom label has already been added or edited directly in Google Merchant Center, updates made to the same label in Feedomix may not overwrite the existing value.

Why Use Google Custom Labels?

Google Custom Labels help merchants:

Organize products into custom groups.
Create targeted Google Shopping campaigns.
Improve campaign reporting.
Manage promotional and seasonal products.

Using custom labels helps keep product data organized and improves campaign management in Google Merchant Center.

If the product has unresolved Diagnostics issues, resolve them first.
Generate the feed.
