Shipping Weight Format in Google Feed

    I get a warning when I validate my Google Feed that the shipping weight is incorrectly formatted. The weight field is showing up correctly but Google apparently wants the units designation to follow the integer (IE, oz, lbs, etc.). I cannot find a way to specifiy this. Woocommerce only allows me to enter the numerical weight in the weight field. Is there a fix for this?

    Hi @dkhoward8219,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    Here’s the thing—WooCommerce is actually doing its part correctly. It stores only the numeric value for weight. Google, on the other hand, expects the unit to be included in the feed output (for example: 10 oz, 2 lb).

    You don’t need to change anything in WooCommerce itself.

    What you need to do instead is add the unit as a suffix in the feed attribute mapping.

    Let’s break it down:

    1. Go to Product Feed Manager → Attribute Mapping
    2. Find the Shipping Weight (or shipping_weight) attribute
    3. In that row, use the Suffix field to add the unit you’re using
      – for example: oz, lb, g, or kg
    4. Save the feed and regenerate it

    That way, the feed will output something like 12 oz instead of just 12, which is exactly what Google wants.

    You can follow this screenshot as a reference for where to add the suffix:

    Once the feed is regenerated, re-validate it in Google Merchant Center and the warning should be gone.

    Try this and let me know the result.

    Hi @dkhoward8219,

    I just wanted to follow up and check if the solution I shared for adding the weight unit as a suffix in the feed worked for you.

    Were you able to regenerate the feed and remove the Google warning?

    Let me know how it went, and I’m happy to assist further if needed.

    Best regards,
