Getting started with Google Shopping ads for Shopify.
What exactly is the Google shopping app? Shopify’s Google Shopping app is an app that automatically syncs your Shopify products and brand information into the Google Merchant Center. From there, you can update your Google product listings straight from your Shopify admin. Once you sync your store with the Google Merchant Center, you can then use Google ads to create compelling marketing campaigns for your items. But please be aware, the shopping app can only sync stores that have 50,000 products or less. It’s a great platform to use for small, and mid-sized eCommerce sites.
The requirements to get started aren’t too burdensome, but if your information is inaccurate or not detailed enough, your application can be rejected. The Google Merchant Center does require your Shopify store to meet certain requirements. We’re experienced with everything you need to get started, and we’ll make sure that your information is accurate and detailed so you can get approved quickly.
What are the main requirement?
You can start selling with the Google Shopping app if your online store can ship products to one of the supported countries. Also, the currency you sell your products in must match the country where you send items.
If you sell to Australian consumers, your Google Shopping app will sync your shipping settings. You’ll need to provide an accurate shipping rate, that’s either price-based or weight-based for each of your products. If you don’t have a shipping rate that’s price or weight-based, then you will need to add a flat shipping rate inside the Google Shopping app.
You’ll also have to comply with a few store requirements, too.
- List your contact information on your online store website.
- Enable the Shopify online store sales channel.
- Remove the password from your store.
- Create a TOS and Refund policy.
- Add a valid payment provider.
- Uninstall the old Google Shopping app if applicable.
- Make sure shipping and currency information are accurate and valid.
Once you’ve completed these tasks, then it’s time to log in to your Google account and sync your Shopify store with the Merchant Center.
Syncing Your Domain and Product Feed
Your Google Merchant Center account must be associated with your verified domain, and that domain can’t be associated with another Merchant Center account. When you partner with us, we will make sure that your Shopify store domain is claimed and ready to be reserved and used for your Google Merchant Center account. From there, we will sync your Shopify items from your product feed into your Merchant Center account.
