GoogleBase feed with UK prices

Post by Si Burgess » Sat Feb 06, 2010 4:46 am

Hi all,

I have a GoogleBase feed working with products being listed in Google Merchant Center that targets the UK. The problem I have is that the price being listed is excluding VAT and Google Merchant Center doesn't have any tax rule support for the UK yet, just US. I'm in a competive market so showing the correct price to my UK customers is very important - having the cutomer see one price (ex. VAT) on Google then seeing another on-site (inc.VAT) gives a bad impression.

I would like to be able to set the outputted price to use my UK tax rule for the feed but as far as I can see I can't do this with the options in the GoogleBase.aspx that comes as default with AbleCommerce 7.0.4.

Is there a way I can either inherit from the supplied GoogleBase class and adjust the price at some stage of the generation or am I looking at having to write my own FeedProvider?

Any ideas are would be most appreciated.

Si
