Using Rules in the New Merchant Centre: T-Time with Tillison

[@Alteredmemory]

Thank you had over 2k products which are print on demand custom shoes with no identifiers. Saved me a lot of stress.

[@tillison]

Wow. Yeah, that'd be a massive pain. Glad you avoided it 👍👊

[@janmeszaros2093]

Great video, thank you so much! Was trying to use the supplemental feed to add an attribute to the primary feed when in fact all I had to do was follow your steps from (3:06). So simple!

[@judykonopka9029]

That was awesome! I'm going to share this video with Shopify who told me to ignore the fact that I have limited performance (it'll still work).

[@tillison]

Wherever possible, we would always advocate having the data correct at source, rather than using rules or Supplemental Feeds. What issues are you facing, Judy?

Hey, thanks so much! Very helpful!

Great video, thanks. Have you done any on how to fix Duplicate value [gtin] error in Google Merchant?

[@tillison]

If you've duplicate GTINs, it's probably because you have variants (colour or size etc.) in your feed. Google doesn't like that, which is a bit sucky.

[@jimmy6414]

@@tillison Can i use Rules to address this issue?

[@jimmy6414]

It is because I have size variants for the same GTIN

[@marktillison6703]

​@@jimmy6414 if we're right on the use case you're trying to overcome, no. No matter how you create the GTIN, the GTIN has to be unique for each product AND the GTIN has to be correct - you can't just make them up. e.g. If a product is available in four colours, but they all share the same GTIN, you can only list one product in your feed with that GTIN. That sucks, because you can't than have a product to match those niche searches for "product + colour" which would give you a better CTR and a higher conversion rate.

@@marktillison6703 Oh ok, interesting. Thanks again for the info. I'll stop wasting my time looking for a solution. Cheers
