Element g:product_detail#

Basic information#

The g:product_detail element is used to provide detailed product information in the form of technical specifications, dimensions, sizes, material composition, and similar attributes — it is most commonly used for product parameters.

g:product_detail itself is just a wrapper for sub-elements:

• g:section_name → section name, i.e. the name of the parameter group — not required
• g:attribute_name → parameter name — required sub-element
• g:attribute_value → parameter value — required sub-element

The g:product_detail block appears in the feed once for each parameter a product has.

Frequently asked questions#

• How do I add parameters to products in the feed? Colour, size, dimensions, volume, …
  • Use the Set product parameters rule, which lets you add parameters in bulk for different product groups (for different queries).
• How do I remove specific parameters?
  • Use the Remove parameter values rule, which lets you remove either just certain values of a specific parameter (e.g. only certain colours from the Colour parameter) or all values — meaning the entire parameter will be deleted and will not appear in the output feed for any product.
• How do I rename a parameter or a parameter value?
  • Use the Find and replace rule to easily change the parameter name or the value of a parameter.
    • To change the parameter name, use the following path in the Find and replace rule: g:product_detail | g:attribute_name
    • To change a parameter value, use: g:product_detail | g:attribute_value
• How do I copy parameters and their values from another element, such as PARAM?
  • Use the Bulk copy values rule, which can copy the entire element structure of parameters.
  • To copy the entire structure, list all paths to the elements in the structure you want to copy, one per line — starting from the least nested element (the wrapper) down to the most nested.
  • Example configuration of the copy rule to copy all parameters and their values while preserving element structure:
