Our team has been made aware of a technical issue Google is experiencing for Product Feed update processing in Merchant Center.
As of the time of this first posting, Google has stated that they are unable to process updates to feeds for use in Google Shopping.
Bethpage, NY – Sales & Orders, Premier Google Partner and creator of Management Software for Google Shopping, announced today it has partnered leading ecommerce platform provider BigCommerce to launch ‘Google Shopping by Sales & Orders,’ a native Product Feed Tool designed to help BigCommerce store owners effectively leverage the full capabilities Google Shopping.
As of today, emails have started coming in regarding a small update Google is making to the Automatic Item Updates feature for Merchant Center and feeds.
Automatic Item Updates is nothing new to Google Shopping.
The feature in Merchant Center allows Google to ping one’s E-Commerce website and automatically update price and availability attributes in Google Shopping based on what is found on the site.
For Automatic Item Updates to work, retailers must implement structured data markup on their website such as with schema.org annotations.
Nope! You aren’t seeing doubles. Well, sort of, at least. About a month ago we reported on the new feeds experience in Google Merchant Center.
Yesterday, Inside AdWords revealed what we didn’t get to mention last time.
Today, Google announced changes being made to Google Shopping Product Data Specifications. More specifically, the changes introduce maximum values for both the ‘shipping’ (price) and ‘shipping_weight’ attributes.
The maximums will be introduced beginning June 26th 2017.
