Hi,
I've just tried exporting my product catalog as a Google product feed and ended up with a space delimited text file instead of the XML I was expecting. This is not for Google but for a product that accepts Google's XML format - is there a way I can get what I need here ? Thanks

@johnb12,
Google Shopping feeds are tab delimited. If you are looking for the XML Sitemap, then use the menu option... "Settings > Images & Navigation > Generate Sitemaps" |

I did mean Google Product feeds - the standard and more commonly used method is the XML format, the majority of third party applications that support the feed accept only the XML.

That link doesn't seem to provide guidance on which format
to use. I don't believe they have a "standard". Did you run into a specific reason why the txt method didn’t meet your needs, or were you looking for XML because you read Google preferred it? |

I think his point was that he is trying to feed *something else* that accepts Google's XML format. Is that correct John?

@johnb12,
Feel free to post back with specific details, or PM me. We're not opposed to offering another XML feed in Google's specification if it opens the door to more integration. |
