- Variant as ID
- Shopify’s format: Shopify_{CountryID}_XXXX_YYYYY, most widely used on Shopify for almost all the different kind of submissions.
- SKU as Product ID: App provides a feature where you can choose SKU as Product ID attribute that is submitted to Google Shopping. If you prefer to use this option, make sure each and every variant has a unique SKU value. If any of your product/variants does not have any SKU, App will not submit that product/variant. If there are two or more product/variant having the same SKU, only one product/variant shall be submitted to Google.
- Variant as ID: The variant ID is generated by Shopify automatically. It is a unique numeric identification value for each and every variant. Shopify assigns a variant ID to even a single variant product.
