Playful Sparkle - Google Product Review Feed is an essential extension for OpenCart 3.x+ that allows store owners to automatically generate and submit a product review feed from their OpenCart store to their Google Merchant Center account. This extension enables you to display verified customer reviews from your store on Google Shopping and other Google platforms, enhancing trust and visibility for your products.
Google Merchant Center is a platform provided by Google where businesses upload their product data to make it available across Google Shopping, Google Search, and other Google services. In addition to product data, Google Merchant Center also supports product review feeds. This feature allows merchants to display aggregated customer ratings and reviews for their products, improving product visibility, increasing customer trust, and boosting shopper engagement.
With the Google Product Review Feed extension, your OpenCart store will generate a product review feed containing customer reviews collected from your store. You can submit this feed URL to your Google Merchant Center account. Google Merchant Center will periodically fetch updated reviews from the feed according to the frequency you set in your Google Merchant Center settings. This ensures that your product listings are consistently updated with the latest customer reviews.
