  • Prestashop Google Product Search

    Prestashop Google Product Search

    Since August 2008 when we first released a Google Product Search (Google Base) module a lot has changed. Not only has Google’s own service undergone a series of changes to the feed specification, Prestashop has also moved on.

    The release of Prestashop 1.4.x in particular has seen support for many of the additional data items not previously possible to include, along with major changes in the generation of SEO urls which alone merit a code refresh. It has also become much harder to get good rankings in Product Search as the uptake has increased, and more attention needs to be taken in terms of feed data quality than ever before.

  • Updated Google Base Module to v0.5

    Google Base Module Update

    I’ve just recently updated the original Google Base module (to v0.5) with a few enhancements that should hopefully help those who may have had issues with the previous version.

    **Please note that due to changes in PrestShop core classes that this module will not work with the latest 1.2beta3 version** In order for this module to work with the 1.2beta3 version you must use the corresponding beta version which will also be available from the product page Google Base Module.

  • Exporting products to Googlebase

    Getting noticed in Google Product Search

    There has been huge demand for a module to allow upload of the products in Prestashop installations to Google Base. In an attempt to satisfy this, until such time as I can have a look at implementing it using the Google Base API, I threw together some code that will hopefully work. Only minimal testing has been performed, so I recommend that you use with caution.

    Special thanks to Icarus for debugging the latest versions, and for the new feature suggestions for the 0.6.x series and beyond….

    Update: The latest version can be found at Prestashop Google Product Search
