Future-Proof Your PrestaShop Google Shopping Feeds: Introducing Feed Forge for the New Merchant API

The e-commerce landscape is constantly evolving, and staying updated with platform changes is crucial for PrestaShop merchants. A significant update from Google is set to impact many stores relying on Google Shopping: the Content API for Shopping will shut down on August 18, 2026. Many existing feed modules still depend on this older API, meaning they will cease to function, potentially disrupting crucial Google Shopping campaigns.

Future-Proof Your PrestaShop Google Shopping Feeds: Introducing Feed Forge for the New Merchant API

To address this impending change, Marcin Gajewski has introduced Feed Forge, a free and open-source PrestaShop module designed for seamless integration with Google Merchant Center (GMC). Built entirely on the new Google Merchant API, Feed Forge ensures PrestaShop 8 and 9 stores are future-proofed, offering a robust alternative to commercial solutions without subscription costs.

Key Features for Modern PrestaShop Stores:

• New API Compliance: Directly integrates with the Google Merchant API, guaranteeing continued service beyond the Content API for Shopping shutdown date.
• Efficient Catalog Synchronization: Syncs your PrestaShop catalog to GMC, supporting multiple feeds with per-feed country and language settings.
• Delta Sync: Only changed products are re-sent, a fast, queue and cron-driven process that optimizes resource use.
• Live Product Status: Provides immediate visibility into product approval status (approved/disapproved) and Google's specific per-product issues directly within the PrestaShop back office.
• Intelligent Category Mapping: Features one-click taxonomy import and autocomplete for mapping PrestaShop categories to Google's product taxonomy.
• Advanced Attribute & Settings Control: Offers flexible sync rules, detailed attribute mapping (GTIN, MPN), promotions, and shipping settings.
• Analytics Dashboard: A built-in dashboard provides a clear overview of sync history.

Why Feed Forge is a Game-Changer for PrestaShop:

• Free & Open-Source: MIT licensed, no subscriptions, connecting directly to your own Google account via OAuth.
• Shared Hosting Friendly: Runs on ordinary shared hosting environments using pure REST APIs, avoiding exotic extensions.
• Modern Compatibility: Supports PrestaShop 8.0–9.x and PHP 8.1+.
• Easy Installation: Installs via ZIP upload in the back office, no Composer or command-line knowledge required.
• Multilingual UI: Available in English and Polish.
