 X-Cart's module <u>Google Shopping</u> provides a tool that allows you to submit product feeds to Google Shopping so the products sold by your store can be found by Internet users using Google Shopping, a Google's service that allows users to search for products on online shopping websites and compare prices between different vendors.
 Data in Google Shopping comes from two sources: product feeds submitted by merchants and a crawl of web pages that identifies product offers. A Google Shopping product feed is a text file containing specially formatted information about the products offered for sale by a store. As a merchant you can submit information about your products in the form of a product feed so your products will be listed in Google Shopping.
 X-Cart's <u>Google Shopping</u> module facilitates creation and submission of product feeds to Google Shopping. It pulls data from all of the products in your store's database, creates a properly formatted product feed file and uses FTP to submit this file to Google Shopping.
 You also have the option of downloading the product feed file to your local computer for manual submission or other usage.
