Understanding Google Merchant Center Issues


The Needs attention page can display different types of product issues. Each issue includes a description and guidance to help you understand what needs to be corrected.


Mismatched Online Store URL


What It Means


The product page URLs in your product data do not match the verified online store domain registered in your Google Merchant Center account.


Google requires product landing page URLs to use the same verified domain as your online store.


Requirements


  • Make sure your website domain is verified and claimed under Business information in Google Merchant Center.
  • Ensure the product page URLs in your product data use the exact same domain as your verified online store.
  • If your product URLs use subdomains or subfolders, make sure the parent website domain is registered in your account as required.


How to Fix


  1. Open Google Merchant Center.
  2. Go to Business information.
  3. Review your online store website details.
  4. Make sure the correct website domain is verified and claimed.
  5. Check the product URLs in your Shopify product information or Feedomix feed configuration.
  6. Make sure the product landing page URLs use the correct verified domain.
  7. Save the required changes.
  8. Regenerate or sync your Feedomix feed when product feed information has changed.
  9. Allow Google Merchant Center to process the updated information.


Mismatched Currency in Shipping Information


What It Means


The currency configured for shipping costs does not match the currency used for the product price.


Google requires the shipping cost currency to match the product price currency.


How to Fix


  1. Open Google Merchant Center.
  2. Go to your shipping settings.
  3. Open the relevant shipping service.
  4. Review the shipping cost configuration.
  5. Change the shipping cost currency to match the currency used for your product prices.
  6. Save the shipping settings.
  7. Allow Google Merchant Center to process the updated information.


Example


If your product price is configured in USD, the shipping cost must also use USD.


Pending Initial Review


What It Means


Google Merchant Center has not completed the initial review of the product yet.


The product is waiting for Google's review process to finish.


Suggested Action


Wait for Google to complete the review. The page may display a message asking you to wait up to 3 business days.


What to Do


  1. Open the Needs attention page for the selected product.
  2. Locate the Pending initial review issue.
  3. Review the displayed message.
  4. Wait for Google's review process to complete.
  5. Check the product status again in Google Merchant Center or Feedomix Diagnostics.


You do not need to make product changes solely because an initial review is pending.


How to Use the Fix Now Option


Each issue may include a Fix now link that helps you navigate to the relevant settings or information.


To use it:


  1. Open the Needs attention page.
  2. Locate the issue you want to resolve.
  3. Click Fix now next to that issue.
  4. Review the relevant settings or information.
  5. Make the required changes.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Return to Google Merchant Center and allow time for the updated information to be processed.


The destination of Fix now depends on the selected issue.


How to Check Whether an Issue Is Resolved


After making the required changes:


  1. Allow Google Merchant Center time to process the updated information.
  2. Open Feedomix.
  3. Go to Feed Projects.
  4. Open Diagnostics for the relevant project.
  5. Locate the product in Merchant Center Products.
  6. Review its status and issue count.
  7. Click the Needs attention icon again if further issue details are available.


The issue information may take some time to update after Google processes the changes.


Important Notes


  • The Needs attention page displays issues reported by Google Merchant Center.
  • The issues and their suggested actions depend on Google's product review and validation.
  • Fix now opens the relevant destination for the selected issue.
  • Some issues require changes in Google Merchant Center, while others may require changes to Shopify product information or the Feedomix feed configuration.
  • Regenerate or sync the feed when product information included in the feed has been changed.
  • Google Merchant Center may take time to process updated product information.
  • Pending initial review is a review status and does not necessarily mean that the product information needs correction.
