GPT Merchant

Hi,

We've just added OpenAI / ChatGPT Shopping support to the Google Products plugin. It will be available in the next HikaShop release, to be released in a few days.

The plugin can now generate a JSON product feed alongside the existing Google Shopping XML feed. Both feeds share the same product data, so enabling the JSON feed has minimal performance impact. When both are active and the cron runs, the product data is loaded only once and passed to both generators.

What's included in the JSON feed:
- Title, description, URL, images (main + up to 9 additional)
- Price, currency, and sale price when applicable
- Availability (in_stock, out_of_stock, preorder, backorder)
- Brand, MPN, GTIN, condition
- Product weight and dimensions
- Seller name, store country, target countries, return policy
- Review count and star rating (from HikaShop's built-in voting system)
- Variant support: each variant is exported as a separate entry with a group_id linking it to the parent product and a variant_dict containing the characteristic names and values (e.g. {"Color":"Red","Size":"M"})

All existing plugin settings (product categories, price options, variant handling, custom fields, skip field, etc.) apply equally to the JSON feed.

To set it up:
1. Open the Google Products plugin settings.
2. Fill in the "OpenAI JSON file path" field with a path like `media/com_hikashop/openai_feed.json`. This will make the feed accessible at ` yoursite.com/media/com_hikashop/openai_feed.json `.
3. Configure the additional OpenAI settings that appear: store country, target countries, return policy, search/checkout eligibility, and whether to include reviews.
4. The feed will be regenerated automatically each time the cron runs. You can also download it manually with the "Download OpenAI JSON" button.

With your 1,600 to 2,000 SKUs, the feed generation should work fine. If you experience memory or timeout issues, the existing "Increase performances" setting applies to both feeds.

No core file modifications are needed. Everything works through the existing plugin configuration.
