Hello, Google do ask that you include certain product identifiers such as a GTIN (EAN) or manufacturers part number. It is not absolutely compulsory, because for some products such information does not exist, however it is highly recommended.

We explain quite a bit about how to do this in the documentation for the product feed: https://www.spiralscripts.co.uk/Documentation/com-googlebasexml-documentation.html

or if you are using Virtuemart 1.1x the documentation is here: https://www.spiralscripts.co.uk/Documentation/com-googlebasexml-documentation-legacy.html

It is also well worth reading what Google themselves say about this in order to understand what they are looking for: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188494?hl=en-GB&ref;_topic=3404778 (look at the section on product identifiers)
