Features and advantages of the module
- possibility to create your own configuration of files to be generated by combinations of parameters such as: (language, country, store, currency, delivery method, and the rest of the parameters responsible for the products and information about them contained in the generated xml file).
- the ability to map store categories to Google product categories (in Poland this is not a required parameter, but if you intend to sell to some countries of the European Union it is required). The mapping is done using the auto-complete function, i.e. you type an expression next to the store category and a list of prompts appears, containing the expression in the category name and then select it and press save
- the products can be selected by categories, i.e. wechoose from which categories the products are to be included in the generated XML file for Google Merchant Center
- the possibility to use a dictionary for product descriptions and names, e.g. Google does not like and accepts certain expressions in the product descriptions or names, such as FREE DELIVERY then we can replace such word on the fly or remove it without correcting the products
- we can filter products by excluding data of manufacturers, suppliers or particular product IDs or categories
- it is possible to break down product combinations (attributes) into individual products, i.e. e.g. (Name of Blouse - Color: Red - Size: 44) etc.

- delivery costs (cost, name of delivery method, ISO country code) are generated for each product in the xml file (in addition, delivery costs for all countries that are in the same geographical zone "Zone" as the country specified when creating the configuration for the xml file)
- possibility to choose the description for the product (short description / long description) if any of the descriptions does not exist and was selected in the configuration, the module will replace the other existing description
