Looks like there was an issue with my server’s firewall that prevented the newest versions being served. Your support was very helpful and patient in helping me resolve the issue. Thanks for looking into this and pointing me in the right direction!

If you are using the Google Listings & Ads plugin to sync products to merchant center, the solution suggested by @douglsmith will not work. The GLA plugin automatically prepends your product id with “gla_” before submitting to merchant center as item_id (seems unnecessary). So if your product id is “123”, then it will get an item_id of “gla_123” in merchant center.

To be fair, @douglsmith solution does work if you had another implementation that uses the actual product id as item id and it could be helpful for a use case outside of merchant center checkout links.

Seems like there should be a workaround by setting up an ID rule in merchant center, but I am too scared to try. Altering item ID after a product has been established could really mess up ad learning and/or search ranking. Another workaround I did investigate was setting the “checkout link template” at product level either manually or with feed rules, but neither of those are available in merchant center as of now.

A true solution would be for the Google Listings & Ads plugin (created and managed by WooCommerce) to send the actual product id to merchant center. There is no option in the plugin to disable/edit the prepended “gla_” as of now, and even that would only hurt those of us who are already using the plugin (existing products would lose learning/ranking).

If somebody knows whether setting up an ID rule will screw up ads/rankings, please chime in! That would be a simple way to get the @douglsmith solution to work on an account level, but the note that says “Note: After updating your ID rule, you may not be able to show ads or listings from that feed for several hours.” has me too scared to try.

Just want to note for anyone wondering, StoreCustomizer has released an update confirming HPOS support. Thanks to the team for rolling this out!

Bump because WC just started the rollout of HPOS. This is my last holdout plugin that hasn’t ensured compatibility with this new functionality. PLEASE UPDATE the StoreCustomizer plugin!!

Thanks for getting that resolved so quickly!

Thanks so much for getting back to me. Very reassuring to hear that progress is underway, and even better to hear a deadline.

Thanks for your hard work!

Hey everyone, exciting news! It looks like there is an update to this plugin available on GitHub with compatibility for HPOS. Not sure why it isn’t in the WP repo yet, but hey its there at least!

I second this request. Please do confirm HPOS compatibility and update the plugin soon. WC is planning to make HPOS standard in early August (see timeline at bottom of link), and we would like to get ready ahead of time.
