## Feed Fields

The CSV carries these thirteen columns, in this order:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `id` | Product SKU, or the internal ID when there is no SKU |
| `title` | Product name |
| `description` | Product description (HTML stripped) |
| `link` | Product page URL, tagged with UTM parameters so the resulting sale is attributed to the feed |
| `image_link` | Primary product image |
| `availability` | Always `in_stock` in practice, since only in-stock products are sent |
| `price` | Price with currency (e.g., "29.99 USD"). On a discounted product this is the compare-at price |
| `sale_price` | The current selling price, with currency, when a compare-at price above it is set. Blank otherwise |
| `brand` | Manufacturer/brand, from the product's specifications |
| `gtin` | UPC, EAN, or barcode, from the product's specifications |
| `mpn` | Manufacturer part number, from the product's specifications |
| `condition` | Always "new" |
| `product_type` | Collection > product type |

---

## Troubleshooting

### Feed Not Updating

Feeds are cached for 5 minutes. Wait for the cache to expire, then check that products have `active` status, have stock quantity greater than 0, and that your domain is configured.

### Products Missing from Feed

Confirm products are not soft-deleted and meet the status and stock requirements above.

### Feed URL Not Available

Ensure the Google Shopping plugin is still active — the URL 404s when it is not — and that you have an active domain configured in **Settings > Domains**.
