Set up Google Local Inventory

Shops configured with Multi Source Inventory (MSI) may implement Local Inventory feeds which detail the inventory by locations and facilitate running Local Inventory ads.

Submitting this feed more daily allows google to track inventory source using "source_code" and the following product data:   

• store_code

• item_id

• availability

• quantity

• price and sale_price

1. Create a new feed by selecting Google Local Inventory in the dropdown of New Feed. 

2. Configure the Category Map to filter products using magento categories the same way as your Products Data feed is. 

3. Configure Product Filters the same as your Products Data feed is. 

4. Update the schedule to generate the file at least one per day.

Submit the feed to Google

1. Register the feed with Merchant Center

   Navigate to Feeds under merchant center and click "Add product inventory feed" under Supplemental feeds, than follow the steps to register it, similar to how you would register the primary feed:
   Target country - should math the one set for google shopping feed.
   Feed name - can be anything, but for consistency, name it the same way as you did in magento. (see Fig 6.2)

2. Generate the feed

   Click the Run Now button in the feed feed management screen, and wait for the feed to complete. This will generate the feed file and also upload it to your merhcnat ceneter.

   Feed will process daily, so at this step you may also adjust the Run Schedule if you need to. Check our guide on Generating the feed for more details.

3. Analyze results

   Once the feed has completed, go into the merchnat center and select the feed you just registered.  

   Check the number of item processed and see if there are any errors with processing. If there are errors, follow our Testing and Troubleshooting section to help solve them.
