Google Merchant Center feed

The Google Merchant Center feed card on Agent Guardrails → Readiness (Pro) publishes your catalog as a Google Merchant Center product feed (RSS 2.0 XML with the g: namespace).

Enable it

Click Enable feed. Raqvio Agent Guardrails generates the feed in the background and shows:

• Secret feed URL (add it in Merchant Center as a scheduled fetch) — your site address with a secret raqvio_ag_gmc_feed token;
• “Last generated …: N items, N skipped for missing required data.” and which fields were missing.

In Google Merchant Center, add a product data source with a scheduled fetch from that URL.

When it updates

• Once a day, and
• a few minutes (5) after products are created or updated.

Regenerate now rebuilds it immediately.

What’s included

Published simple, variable and external products (not those hidden from the catalog). Each variation of a variable product becomes its own item, grouped by item_group_id.

Field	Source
id	SKU, else parent SKU/ID plus the variation ID, else the product ID
title, description	Product name and description (up to 5,000 characters)
link, image_link	Product URL and main image
price, sale_price	“12.34 USD” format; sale price when on sale
availability	in_stock, backorder or out_of_stock
brand, gtin, mpn	Same sources as the readiness check
condition	always new
identifier_exists	no when the product has neither GTIN nor MPN

Products missing a title, description, link, image, price or availability are skipped and counted in “skipped for missing required data”.

Security and controls

• The URL only works with the secret token (otherwise 404), is marked noindex, nofollow, and returns 503 with a retry hint while the file is first being generated.
• Rotate secret URL issues a new URL; the old one stops working. Update Merchant Center afterwards.
• Disable feed deletes the feed file and the token.

The file is stored under wp-content/uploads/raqvio-ag/.
