Configuring Sale Price for Google Shopping

By default, our Google feeds submit the sale-price as the price, and this works for almost all customers since they generally do not use sale-price for specials, but rather for the ordinary, day-to-day pricing. If you are interested in submitting true, advertised sale pricing, please read below.

When using the Google's sale_price attribute, Google has the following requirements:

• It is a requirement to display both the non-sale and sale prices on your product landing pages.
• The non-sale price is [required to be] different from the list price and must be a price you have previously sold the item for.
• Source: Google Products Feed Specifications, Submitting your sale information

If you use the sale-price for true, advertised specials, then you can configure your feed to submit the sale-price as described below. Note that this Google attribute is experimental, and it is not yet clear how exactly it is to be used and how it affects your listings in Google. Please use the instructions below only as a guideline.
