  1. Hi, we use the Easyship plugin to calculate shipping costs with the product weight and dimensions based on customer location. How do we show this in the feed?

    1. Hi David,

      Using attribute mapping, you can create an attribute with Description and Short Descriptions combined. To know more about how you can do it, please, go through this documentation – https://webappick.com/docs/ctx-feed/google-merchant/conditionally-merge-multiple-attributes/
      But, if you want to fill the description field with any of them if one is missing you can use the Dynamic attribute feature(Pro feature) and you can find more about Dynamic Attribute from here – https://webappick.com/docs/ctx-feed/google-merchant/how-to-make-dynamic-attribute/

      To get more help, reach us from here – https://webappick.com/my-account/contact-support/

      Thank you,

  2. Thank you very much for this great plugin!

    One question: Is there a way to send both descriptions (short and the normal one) to google?

    Background: I matched the google attribute “product description” with the woocommerce value “product description”. But I also want google to get the woocommerce value “product short description”, because many of my products only have the description in this field.

    Thanks for your help!
