I tried today to setup google base feed for our products, and it kicks back a bunch of errors.
One seems to be the structure is incorrect which seems to cause many of the other errors.
http://store.valleybeekeeping.com/index.php/feed/google_base
Error says improper xml format.
Guess it's something else to add to the to do list.

Take a look at https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6349567?hl=en
Btw! You need to set the currency in the feed settings in your GMC account, as it's not included in the feed. It's mentioned in the error log at GMC. -

I installed the update, here is the feed:
http://vmvvmv.com/index.php/feed/google_base
It obviously shows the price in dollars, as configured within the settings
But google is throwing up this error missing price when its uploaded to the merchant center.
Any help is greatly appreciated. -

Another suggestion: Apparently you have to have SSL installed to use this.
I know some credit card mods check if you are using SSL, and block from enabling the mod if it's not installed.
Maybe something like this could be added. It will prevent peoples accounts from being suspended when trying to use it without.
Or at least have a warning in the mods admin area about suspensions with SSL. -

I must be doing something wrong.
I took out the email address and tried to run it again.
Error now shows:
Line Nr. Column Nr.
4 816
If I take line 4 from http://store.valleybeekeeping.com/index.php/feed/google_base
It doesn't have 816 characters.
How do I get the correct info from the feed to get the proper lines and characters? -

Remember, if you changed anything between Google reading and now, the feeds data is different ...
Btw! Try removing your mail address and other special stuff from your descriptions, like Google mention in the links I gave you above. You don't want to feed the spam boots with your mail anyway, I'm pretty sure your customers is able to locate the contact us form. -

So I took line 5 from http://store.valleybeekeeping.com/index.php/feed/google_base
Pasted it into notepad++ and looked for character place 830.
style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-
It comes up between 'Ar' in Arial from above.
So unless I am doing something wrong, I don't see an incorrect character.
This is the item it's getting the info from if it helps.

I checked their site again and found more info.
Feed name Feed Id Customer Id Upload time
Valley Beekeeping Supplies 103256711 6548565 Mar 12, 2017 12:00 am EST
Item Id Line number Message Type Values Item title
5 XML formatting error Error "Column Nr.=830"
It just doesn't tell me really what or where to look for the issue.
Says line 5 column 830. Looking at the feed in Chrome, line 5 looks ok.
Not sure there are even 830 columns. -

The problem is most likely caused by some special character in your data, not being properly output for the xml: https://github.com/arastta/arastta/blob/master/catalog/controller/feed/google_base.php#l33
I'm sure Google gave you some more details when you tried to add it.
Btw! Maybe you're also missing some required data on some products.
