Google Shopping feed exports now let you choose the item ID, and every variant row has the full product data that Google and other shopping channels expect.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Item ID option** - Select **Variant SKU**, **Variant ID**, or **Shopify long ID** under **Advanced options** to match your pixel or catalog ([see the guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/12646191-export-create-page#feed-id-format)).
- **Exclude out-of-stock items** - Leaves out variants that the feed marks as out of stock ([see the guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/12646191-export-create-page#feed-exclude-out-of-stock)).

### 🐛 Fixes

- **Descriptions** - Every variant row now has the product's description, not only the first variant.
- **Google Shopping metafields** - Product-level `mm-google-shopping` values now apply to every variant, and variant values take precedence.
- **Images** - Variants without their own image use the product's first image, and `additional_image_link` lists the other product images.
- **Sale price** - `sale_price` is only filled when the compare-at price is higher than the price ([see the guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11830467-how-to-export-a-google-shopping-feed-from-shopify)).
- **Filters** - Product filters set before you choose the Google Shopping Feed format now stay in the export.
- **Variant filters** - Filters on variant fields now limit the feed to the matching variants.
- **Empty exports** - An export whose filters match nothing now shows a warning ([see the guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/17229123-file-and-job-error-codes#JOB022)).
