UPDATE FOR USERS WHO HAVE MULTIPLE STORES, FEEDS and USE AN AUTOMATED SERVICE

Ok, so I have been working with Godatafeed for this since they manage all my clients feeds, have awesome tech support and we can have a layman conversation. We simply take the XML, bring it into the Godatafeed app, map all the basic fields, then create some custom rules from the various fields below. We end up creating the Google SEO friendly URL since the actual URL is not in the XML.

Custom Condition Example: http://www.YOURSITE.com/ + [Product Name Short field] + -p / + [Product Code].htm

Notes:

  1. Don’t forget to add a path before the .htm
  2. The “-p” represents a product
  3. Dashes or underscores (depending on what you selected in the SEO section) need to separate the words in [Product Name Short field]

If your having issues, drop me a comment.
