Once you enable the module, you may fill in the Sharing Options in its respective tab. There are customizable templates for Product Post content and offer name. You may click on the suggested parameter pills on the side in order to use them. These will be automatically replaced with the respective product field. This plugin also has an automatic-post capability via CRON JOB. You may limit the number of posts sent per run by changing the Bulk products number limit setting (10 by default). You may also establish to send your products as product/offer/standard (any or all) via CRON.

In order to access your Google My Business information, you must first connect via the button "Connect with Google My Business" inside the tab with the same name. You will have to accept to give the App permission to manage your posts.

Once connected, you will be returned to the module settings. Here you must select one of your accounts (most have a single account) in the Account Select Tab, then select the locations respective to that account in the Location Select Tab. After you made these selections, click on "Save all settings" button in order to make your selection permanent, otherwise, your selection will only be available for your current opencart session (only the saved selections are available for CRON).
