Working with Shopify and Google Merchant Center - What I know (for beginners)
Just wish when creating a product from printly and add tags like gender and age would transfer over. Nope, get a GMC error and try to use a bulk editor to see if it will update. Otherwise it's doing it line by line by hand... It's every other day or when I add a product, the GMC misrepresentation error. Very annoying to where I am thinking of dropping Google Merchant Center. Not worth the constant hassle, especially when you have 28 days to fix it or not... More on reddit.com

GTIN Required!? Google Merchant Center

I couldn’t find an EAN, so I’m guessing I search by keyword? I did find someone using a UPC for this product on a random sellers site but it resolved to a completely unrelated product. Should I buy a UPC if I can’t find anything?

How To fixed The Issues In google merchant center?
The two main reasons I see for this are not having full contact information setup on your website AND in the Google Merchant account info (email, phone, physical address) is having unlicensed goods. For example, I had a client that put up some facemasks made with Marvel fabric, but not licensed through Disney. More on reddit.com

r/shopify on Reddit: Working with Shopify and Google Merchant Center - What I know (for beginners)
August 21, 2023 -

Here sometimes that I wish I knew when I started out with Google Merchant Center. I’m still learning but it’s a good foundation anyone that’s starting out:

When you list a product in shopify its incomplete in the product specifications:

So if you have google merchant all linked up with your Shopify store you’ll notice that once it pushes to your google merchant you’ll have a product error (shows as a hollow yellow circle in your sales channels).

So you have to go into bulk edit and add your value: custom product, barcode identifies (if it has), color, gender, etc. This will rank your products higher and get rid of the error code.

You’ll also have to work within google merchant and tick boxes, if it’s a custom product etc. It’s a bit of work but I 100% have seen higher traffic fixing these issues.

I’ll also add, if you use the Shop Channel.. you want to add a product category so it pushes onto your Shop.

If anyone else has anything to add do chime in 👍
