How can I remove shipping from the content API for merchant center listing?

Hello,

I am wondering how to remove shipping from the content API so that my items can be listed on the merchant center.  Google has told me that since I have a storewide shipping rule, it is taking the shipping from Content API and is causing it to give me this error.

Missing sub-attribute [country (sub-attribute of [shipping])]

 

I cannot seem to fix this no matter what I try.

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi @PetraSports,

 

You can disable shipping for a product, just go to Shopify Admin > Products > Edit Product > Uncheck "This is a physical product" in the Shipping section. 

 

Let us know if that works for you.

These do need to ship as they are a physical product.  What I am trying to remove is shipping portion being sent in the Content API to google merchant center as It is giving the error listed above.

Thanks

Hi @PetraSports,

 

Do you have an app installed handling Content API integration?

Hello,

Is there a way to do it programmatically using APIs?

You can add the missing country by using feed rules in Google Merchant Center.
