Thank you for offering the structured data add on. We have been testing this mod and it seems to work well for adding structured data.

We have tried to setup a google merchant center feed using the ‘website crawl’ option. Unfortunately we have been unable to get any products approved (our account uses weight based shipping).

The schema.org test states that “weight” is the correct attribute and does not generate any errors. However after google had completed the ‘website crawl’ all of our products were disapproved due to a missing value for the shipping_weight.

We have contacted google support and they claimed that the correct attribute is “shipping_weight” instead of “weight”. Updating the attribute appeared to make no difference. Google still disapproved all products and schema.ora stated that there was now an error.

As we cannot supply the weight to google and products do not update very often, we have decided to use an alternative mod https://github.com/torvista/Zen_Cart..._Center_Feeder

Hopefully this post will help other users as I have spent five days trying to get the ‘website crawl’ feed to work correctly but have not found a solution. I would still recommend using the structured data mod to improve organic search rankings. Unfortunately it does not appear to be compatible with merchant center weight based shipping.
