Featured product [featured_product] (Collections)

Use the featured product [featured_product] attribute to link the products from your product feeds to the collection in which you’d like to feature them.

When to use

The featured product [featured_product] attribute consists of two parts, the ID and the image coordinates, and a total of 3 sub-attributes:

  • ID [id]: Required Required.
  • X [x]: float [0-1] (Required Required for or used in Performance Max for store goals).
    X-coordinate of the product callout in consumer experiences
  • Y [y]: float [0-1] (Required Required for or used in Performance Max for store goals).
    Y-coordinate of the product callout in consumer experiences

Note: For "promoting local products within Performance Max for store goals" format, you can provide random coordinates but the coordinate must be different for each featured product. For example, you can increment the coordinates by 1 for each featured product as shown below:

  • Featured Product 1:0.01:0.01
  • Featured Product 2:0.02:0.02
  • Featured Product 3:0.03:0.03

Minimum requirements

These are the requirements you need to meet to show your collection. If you don't follow these requirements, we'll disapprove your collection and let you know in the Diagnostics page of your Merchant Center account.

  • Use this attribute to list the featured products for this collection
  • Make sure the ID you enter corresponds exactly to the ID of your product in your Merchant Center product data feed.
  • If you add this attribute, then the language attribute is also required.
  • Optionally specify feed labels for collections that have featured products. This will help us to determine the specific products associated with each collection.
  • Provide a maximum of 100 featured product [featured_product] attributes (for collections)
