How to create repeating fields in sub-attributes

XML product feeds may require repeating fields to fully describe products, especially for platforms like Google Shopping, where attributes such as [shipping], [product_detail], and [product_highlight] might need multiple entries. Here’s a simple guide on how to include these repeating fields and their sub-attributes in your product feeds:

Setting Up Repeating Fields:

1. Identify Necessary Fields: First, determine which fields in your product feed will repeat. In Google Shopping feeds, common repeating fields include [shipping], [product_detail], and [product_highlight].
2. Incorporate Sub-Attributes: For each repeating field, add the required sub-attributes to your product feed. These sub-attributes represent the distinct values or variations for the repeating field.
3. Format Data with Double Pipes: When entering data for these sub-attributes, separate each value with a double pipe (||). For instance, to list three separate product details, format them as detail1||detail2||detail3.
