Best regards, José Ángel")* Hi, Thank you for the detailed feedback. Actually, the plugin already handles most of the scenarios you described. When you enable the "Include variants" option in the plugin configuration, the plugin will: - Remove parent products from the feed entirely - Export each variant as its own item with its own price - Automatically add the <g:item_group_id> tag on each variant, pointing to the parent product, so that Google groups them together So enabling that option should resolve the "Missing price" errors you're seeing in Google Merchant Center. Additionally, products without any price were already skipped from the feed. We've now also added a check to skip products with a price of 0, which will be available in the next version of HikaShop. But normally, prices with the "0" value are deleted when the products are saved in the backend, so this should not normally happen and this is not needed for your direct situation.
