How to Create a Feed Project

Complete your online store setup to proceed

Google checks important store details such as:


  • Store trust
  • Billing information
  • Store visibility
  • Refund policy availability
  • Business contact information



Set up your online store


The Set up your online store section helps you complete the required store verification settings for Google Merchant Center integration.


The setup guide helps you complete the required steps before continuing with feed configuration.



Setup progress


The Setup progress section displays the current completion status of the required setup steps.


For example:


2 of 4 setup steps completed


Completed steps display a green checkmark, while incomplete steps display a pending status.

This step verifies that your Shopify store has a valid billing method configured.

  • Store verification improves
  • Feed approval readiness increases



Create an online store


This step verifies that your Shopify online store is publicly accessible.


The setup guide displays:


Remove your online store password so products can be verified publicly.


Google requires public access to:

  • Product synchronization issues may occur


Once the storefront becomes publicly accessible:


  • The setup step is completed
  • Product verification becomes available
  • Store trust improves



Add a refund policy


This step requires you to publish a valid refund policy URL.


The setup guide displays:


Publish a refund policy in your storefront.


Google may require a visible refund policy to help improve customer trust and policy compliance.


Valid refund policy URL


The Valid refund policy URL field allows you to add the public refund policy page URL from your storefront.


Example:


https://example.com/policies/refund-policy


Click Add Policy.


When you click Add Policy:


  • The refund policy URL is validated
  • The policy is saved successfully
  • The setup progress updates automatically
  • The refund policy step is completed


After successful validation:


  • Store verification improves
  • Google policy compliance improves
  • Feed approval readiness increases



Confirm your store contact information


This step verifies that important business contact details are publicly visible on your storefront.


The setup guide displays:


Verify that the contact email, business address, and phone are visible on your store.


Google may require visible contact information for:


  • Store trust verification
  • Customer transparency
  • Business validation


The app checks:


  • Contact email visibility
  • Business address visibility
  • Phone number visibility


Once the contact information becomes publicly visible:


  • The setup step is completed
  • Store verification improves
  • Feed approval readiness increases


Action & Flow


Click Confirm your store contact information.


The contact information setup page opens.


From this page, you can:


  • Verify store contact details
  • Review business information
  • Confirm visible contact information for Google verification



Continue Button


After all required setup steps are completed, the Continue button becomes available.


Click Continue to:


  • Proceed to the next stage
  • Make feed configuration available
  • Continue product synchronization setup
  • Proceed with Google Merchant Center integration
