Troubleshooting Google Merchant Tips

1. Resubmit Feed Link in Merchant

2. Set all product conditions to ‘New.’

3. Assign products a ‘Product Type’ such as ‘Florals’,  'Flowers’, or ‘Plants.’

4. Enable all products to be seen on Google / Add To Stores

5. Double-check shipping and return info, such as payments or countries

   1. We've had better luck setting returns to 'Does Not Accept Refunds' and 'Exchange for defective products only.'

6. Settings > Business Info > Ensure the correct countries are added

7. In data sources, click the three dots next to your product file > Ensure correct countries are added. Do not have all countries selected. Only the US or Canada should be checked.
