How to apply specific shipping labels?

This feature is available in Google Merchant Center PRO from version 1.7.0.

The shipping_label attribute groups products that need a specific Merchant Center shipping rule. It does not set a shipping price by itself.

  1. Create a PrestaShop feature such as “Shipping group”, with simple values such as fragile or bulky.
  2. Assign a consistent value to every relevant product.
  3. Under Product feed management → Advanced feed options, enable shipping labels, save and open the per-category tag configuration. Map the feature to the relevant categories.
  4. In Merchant Center, create shipping rules using exactly the same label values.
  5. Update the feed and check shipping_label and the applicable shipping price for sample products and destinations.

Mapping the shipping-group feature to a default category.

Warning: the mapping uses the products’ DEFAULT categories.

Google expects one label value per product. If multiple feature values are present, the module combines them into one string; this does not create several independent shipping groups. Prefer one controlled value and read the shipping label specification.
