Steps to Integrate Google Shopping with Your Online Store

 Connect CS-Cart to Google Merchant Center
Once the add-on is installed, configure the settings to connect your CS-Cart store with your Google Merchant account. You’ll need to enter the API key or authentication details provided by Google to authorize the connection.

 Upload Product Data
The integration will automatically pull product data from your store and upload it to Google Merchant Center. Ensure that your product feed includes accurate details like title, description, price, and availability.
