Hi Nicolas
I’m using the HikaShop Google / Meta Products feed plugin
Problem: Google Merchant Center is ingesting some parent products (e.g. a product page like /comprar/bandejas-plateadas) as individual items, but the parent product has no price because the prices are set only on the variants. As a result, Merchant reports “Missing price [price]” for those items.
What I need is one of these two behaviors:
Option A (preferred): Export only variants/items that have a valid price, and do not export the parent product as a purchasable item.
Option B: If the parent must be exported, export it only as a group container (e.g. item_group_id) and ensure only variants carry price, so Merchant does not require price on the parent item.
Questions:
Which exact plugin setting(s) control whether the feed exports parent products as <item>?
Is there a setting to exclude parent products and export only priced variants/items?
Is there a way to automatically skip items with empty/zero price?
What is the recommended mapping for Google <g:id> for variants (SKU / variant code), so Merchant recognizes each variant as a separate item and does not treat the parent as an item?
Can the plugin output item_group_id for variants (grouped under the parent), and how to configure it?
If you need examples, I can provide:
the feed XML
an example variant MPN (e.g. 0185R53040) and the corresponding parent product page.
Best regards,
José Ángel
