Google Base

Important:

Google Base has been retired. However, you can use the information below to create a saved item search that you can export and use as a product feed. Visit the help page on the Google Merchant Center website for more information about the data feed submission process and specific requirements.

Use the saved search provided by NetSuite to create a product feed you can upload to Google Shopping. You may need to create custom fields, and then customize the saved search to comply with the latest requirements from Google Shopping. For more information about editing the saved search, see Editing Product Feed Results.

Google Shopping requires that you enter data in the id and description columns of the product feed.

In NetSuite, the id column is blank by default. Enter the item's Internal ID after your product feed has been exported to a spreadsheet and before you turn it into a tab-delimited text file. To display the Internal ID on the Store tab of the item record, go to Home > Set preferences, and check the Show Internal IDs box.
In NetSuite, the description column shows information from the Detailed Description field on the Store subtab of item records.

The table below shows the columns in your NetSuite product feed, and some of the columns that may be required or recommended by Google Shopping. The column names that appear below with an asterisk are required. The other columns are recommended.
