I am working on the google merchant feed for configurable products. I am new in this and so far the situation is
All the products are configurable which are visible on front-end
All simple products are set to not viewed individually as they are
linked with some configurable product
the fields in the google feed is
id title description google product category product type link image link condition availability price sale price sale price effective date item group id age group color size shipping shipping weight identifier_exists
i have successfully get all the data for simple products and use the parent product url for its link field as it is set to not viewed individually
But the problem is now i have to make a feed for configurable product
but
the price for configurable product is 0
the weight is not there
can anyone please share some sample configurable product feed for google merchant
thanks in advance
I dont know this will work google or not. The short cut is "uploading the prices for configurable product" , you can upload the least price of associated product to the configurable product.
also , once you upload the configurable product, using "update attributes" , put weight as "1" for all configurable products.

I am developing a magento site. In this site I have products for camera kits. In one kit the product can have camera body, camera lens etc. These products when sold in group will have lesser price when sold individually.
I am thinking of "Grouped Products" in magento will suit my case the best.
But how to set the discounted price when purchased from a group?
Also I have to import product from another site so I will be creating all the products programmatically. So any suggestions for the discounted price. Also my approach for grouped products is right or wrong?
Grouped products are just a way to sell multiple products on one product page.
You could use a bundle product. When creating a bundle you can choose if the price will be calculated as the sum of all items or a fixed price.
I see two options for you:
Use the fixed price and create one bundle for each camera kit. The bundle will have an option "body" and an option "lens", each option has only one product selection and is marked as "required" (i.e. you don't have a choice)
Use dynamic price and a special price, then you can add different body and lens selections with different prices from which the customer can choose, but can give a discount of for example 10% on the bundle.
I am trying to make a store for car care chemicals in Magento for online buyers and company distributors.
Each chemical has a size option - 0.5 liters, 5 liters, 207 liters
And the above options have price difference depending upon the customer is a normal buyer or a distributor.
I have made a configurable product, but the price in the
"Super product attributes configuration" overrides the Group pricing in the simple products.
Can somebody please suggest the right way?
You have to create a attribute "size" as dropdown with all possible sizes.
When you add the product you have to choose one of them.
Magento will not take into the account the simple products' price of a configurable one. Simple products' prices are ignored. if you want to sell a simple product X having price $120 and a simple product B ($130) then set configurable product's price to $120 and add products you want to associate with this configurable product. After adding them click on 'Associated Products' tab which opens a block named Super product attributes configuration, which contains options and price differences and set the prices accordingly as described in attached image.
Moreover There's an extension that allows you to use simple product prices instead of price differences Since it's free extension. The extension is "Simple Configurable Products(SCP)".

How to remove required field and add into shopping cart page in magento? Please advice me
You are using the wrong kind of products. Configurable product options are always required.
I think you need to look at using grouped or bundled products to do what you want.

I have to configure my magento store so that my customers can order configurable products when they are out of stock.
Because these products are out of stock, they do not appear on the products page.
I did find a way to show them the products page (system-->configuration-->inventory-->Display Out of Stock Products) but because the product is out of stock, the customer can't order it.
Anyone an idea on how to configure my site so the customer can buy out of stock configurable products?
I'm using Magento 1.5.0.1
In Configuration > Inventory an option exits to display products out of stock. This would be a good place to look.
EDIT: Also if you want the ability for the customer to purchase the product you need to allow products to be back ordered in the following configuration tab.
In my store i have all the products as configurable products and there is no simple products displayed on store. Everything goes fine but then i noticed one problem.
After adding a product to cart by choosing the simple product from the configurable product page, i still gets configurable products sku in the cart , also it maintains through out the session. So we cant track actually which product sell.
Is it problem with any configuration or should i do anything to catch the simple products sku instead of configurable product SKU.
Please help me
This is probably a bit late if your store is filled with configurable products, but I've found this product a lifesaver in the past:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Matt+Dean/extension/596/simple-configurable-products
It basically just adds the simple product to the cart using the simple product's price as the buying price. Custom options must also be added to the simple products rather than the config products.
As a result the purchased item is the simple product SKU rather than the configurable product.
