Keep Google Shopping Up To Date With Inventory Updates

If you update your pricing, availability and sale price more than once a day, using the online product inventory updates allows you to update these values at a different time. Lets say we have our normal data feed that updates at midnight, but before lunch time you update the whole range with new prices and availability. Using the inventory update data feed allows you to fetch at a different time than your regular data feed. This feed will than overwrite any submitted values.

You can of course do a manual fetch on your normal data feed, but for your convenience you can use this system to have an automated setup.

Which Attributes Can I Update?
