Do supplier-provided white background images hurt performance in Google Shopping ads?

I’m running a dropshipping store and all my product images are supplier-provided white background photos. How do these typically perform in Google Shopping ads, and what are some practical ways to improve them?

Hello Behomme, thank you for your question and welcome to the Shopify AMA. I’m your host Emmanuel from FeedArmy.

A solid white background is actually one of the requirements. Have a look at the requirements here: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/12472547

And search for: Use a solid white or transparent background

However, while it does say you should use a solid white background. If you use the product studio inside Google Merchant Center, you can generate AI backgrounds.

For some clients, I have added a nice background and we are getting a improvement in performance. So my recommendation is test white background vs something else. Use the product studio and experiment.

Thanks for your advices. I’ll try Product Studio and run some tests.
