Set your upload schedule, timezone and enter the URL of the file. The URL of your feedfile can be obtained from the Channels>Google Merchant Center area of your store admin.

Click on the "Schedule" button to create the upload schedule.

NOTE: Your file URL must contain the exact domain you used to verify your site with Google webmaster central. If you try to enter a URL file with a different domain, you will receive an error on this step.
