I am trying to setup the Google shopping feed according to the docs;  
[https://docs.litium.com/documentation/litium-documentation/products/price-agents/google-shopping](https://docs.litium.com/documentation/litium-documentation/products/price-agents/google-shopping)

I have:

A) Enabled PriceAgents in site settings  
B) Made sure all required Google fields are mapped and has correct values

Still, when trying to load [mydomain.com//priceagent.axd/Googleshopping](http://mydomain.com//priceagent.axd/Googleshopping) URL, I get an empty feed.

What am I missing??

Litium version: 6

Do the products have prices for the website? Products without prices are not added to the feed.

Domain name also need to match the domain name on the website, otherwise it will not return any data.

Yes, the products have prices. And the domain name is the same as the the web site.

Still, the feed is empty…

I had a look in the event log, I am getting 2 errors:

```

```

And this one:

It’s a issue in the version that you are using, please update to a later version.
