Google product reviews feed

[BatteryTrader]

Hi

Is there an addon for producing a product review feed for submission to the Google Merchant Centre?

Thank you

As far as I am aware, that does not exist.

What is the Google Spec for a Review Feed ? Minimal Sample appears to be;

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns:vc="http://www.w3.org/2007/XMLSchema-versioning"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=
 "http://www.google.com/shopping/reviews/schema/product/2.4/product_reviews.xsd">
    <version>2.4</version>
    <aggregator>
        <name>Sample Reviews Aggregator (if applicable)</name>
    </aggregator>
    <publisher>
        <name>Sample Retailer</name>
        <favicon>http://www.example.com/favicon.png</favicon>
    </publisher>
    <reviews>
        <review>
            <!-- minimal sample - no optional elements/attributes -->
            <review_id>14296</review_id>
            <reviewer>
                <name>Jane</name>
            </reviewer>
            <review_timestamp>2014-04-21T07:14:21Z</review_timestamp>
            <content>I was a little skeptical at first, but it grew on me.</content>
            <review_url type="singleton">http://www.example.com/review_59684.html</review_url>
            <ratings>
                <overall min="1" max="5">4.3</overall>
            </ratings>
            <products>
                <product>
                    <product_url>http://www.example.com/product_6207.html</product_url>
                </product>
            </products>
        </review>
    </reviews>
</feed>

Should be fairly straightforward to update app.php/tag/s06e02 to have a Review Feed in addition to the other Feeds already included. You would then need to;

To schedule a product reviews feed in Google Merchant Center using the scheduled fetch method, you will need to log into your Google Merchant Center account and navigate to Marketing > Product Reviews > Product review feeds. Click the plus icon to add a new feed, select Scheduled fetch as the input method, and then configure the feed details, including the feed name, file URL, and fetch schedule.

It's included in the core product schema module: https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/Phoen ... ma.php#L74

Thanks for the answers, always had scheema set up for Reviews previous to upgrading.

I assume I was being told that I do NOT have to also have a feed (that i was submitting within merchant centre), was not sure so have been doing some testing.

Can confirm at this stage that even without submiting the feed the new reviews are showing up within the google results, so no need for the feed.

Only added this in case anyone else, like me, was unsure.
