Google Merchant Center: why won't my txt file work?
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 4:18 am
Hi all
I don't know if this is the right place in the network to ask this. Apologies if it is wrong.
We are trying to get a web site's sales items on the Google Shopping pages and keep trying to upload the .txt or .xml file, from a converted .xls file.
I am using the Manual Upload facility, but rather than report back an error on the file, or a warning of wrong content (CAPS, language etc...), it just says "no items inserted". It's infuriating.
If anyone here is good with Google Base (as I think it's called), can you please respond and I'll send the file we uploaded.
According to the instructions, it must have certain fields, and some are optional. We are using ALL mandatory fields.
