    Default Exclude Out of Stock Items

    How can I exclude out of stock items from the Google feed?

    I am using this mapping rule but it doesn't seem to work:


    If ALL of the following are true:
    InventoryBalance Equals 0
    then set Exclude From Feed = y (I tried with "yes" and "1" too)


    Thanks!

    I found the answer to my own question. The value is "true"

    A radio button in the DotFeed rules would be appreciated :-)

    However, the feed is still including out of stock items so, problem not solved yet.

    do you think we should be excluding out of stock products? i would think that google wants to know when a product is out of stock instead of just having the product removed from feed?

    Unfortunately our dropshipper has a 20 to 25% of the products out of stock at any given time, so we are not showing products where stock level is under 1 on the website. We don't want to pay for a click that will lead to an empty product page and make people upset.

    Try this...

    If ALL of the following are true:

    InventoryBalance Is Less Than or Equal To 0

    then set Exclude From Feed = true
