and replace the category “Furniture” with your own.
Click on the save.

Pulling categories for the feed:

Navigate – WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> PurpleTurtle XML Feeds
on the top you will see “Google Products XML Category = ” and a drop down.
you should have your products set up in brand categories, if not please consider doing so as it makes it much easier to categorize the listings for google and so the crawlability of your feed increases and thus the results.

select the category that you want to import and then click on the “Google Products XML” link on the left.
you should have something that looks like this:

http://www.directfurnitureatlanta.com/wp-content/plugins/purple-xmls/feeds.php?xml=google&category=103&random=6447067398

you can remove the &random= part of the string for the best results in this case “&random=6447067398″
making the url look like this:

http://www.directfurnitureatlanta.com/wp-content/plugins/purple-xmls/feeds.php?xml=google&category=103
