What it does
Getting star ratings onto Google Shopping Ads means sending your review data to Google Merchant Center in a format it accepts, and doing that by hand is tedious. This plugin handles it by generating an XML review feed based on your WooCommerce catalog. Google reads the feed, matches each review to the right product and can then display star ratings under your ads, so shoppers see real customer feedback while they compare products.
You stay in control of what goes into the feed. You can choose which reviews to include and pick the product identifier, such as GTIN, that Google should use for matching. Settings live in a dashboard inside WooCommerce, so configuring and updating the feed does not require technical work. It is built around Google's Product Ratings program, which asks for a minimum of 50 product reviews, and it works for merchants in any country.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores running Google Shopping Ads
- Shops with an established base of customer reviews
- Agencies managing Google Merchant Center for clients

Questions about Google Product Reviews Feed
Does this plugin need WooCommerce?
Yes. It is a WooCommerce extension that reads the product reviews stored in your WooCommerce shop and builds the XML review feed from them, so WooCommerce must be active on your site.
How many reviews do I need before star ratings can appear?
Google's Product Ratings program requires a minimum of 50 product reviews. The plugin is built to follow that program's requirements, so you will want at least that many reviews in your store before expecting ratings in your ads.
Can I leave certain reviews out of the feed?
Yes. You can select which product reviews are included, so only the feedback you choose is sent to Google Merchant Center through the XML feed.
How does Google know which product a review belongs to?
The plugin lets you pick a unique product identifier, such as GTIN, for the feed. Google uses that identifier to match each review with the corresponding product in your Shopping listings.
Is Google Product Reviews Feed free?
The code of Google Product Reviews Feed is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
