Magento offers the ability to link to a configurable product with options already specified by adding the attribute id and option to the query string, like this:
www.example.com/product-link.html?166=475
However, when this option increases or decreases the price, the initial price is shown first and then the increase/decrease is shown a moment later after a JavaScript script changes it. This causes problems for our Google shopping feed, as Google's automated price checking records the base configurable product price while the correct, adjusted price for the associated product is reported in our feed.
Is there a simple way to link to an associated product and have the price appear immediately, or will I need to adjust the code to make this work?
We want the product link in our Google shopping ads to link to the configurable product page, so linking to a simple product page does not solve the problem.
