I found a lot of older products not showing up on Google Channel and I found a quick workaround to editing each one. Instead of clicking on the channel and editing the fields one by one the quick work around is to set the product as Draft and save and then set the Product to Active and save. This auto corrects something in the system and puts the product back on the Google Channel. Thoughts? Hope this helps someone else struggling with this issue.
are you referring to the google and youtube shopify app?
and I have to wait a few days and see if this solution “sticks” once Google crawls again.
That workaround doesn’t really ‘fix’ anything - it just forces a re-sync. Switching Draft → Active triggers a fresh push to the Google channel.
If products keep dropping off, the root issue is usually missing/invalid data or sync inconsistencies, so they get excluded again after the next update.
If it doesn’t ‘stick’, check Merchant Center diagnostics - that’s where the real reason usually shows up.
ok thanks, I have my manager guys looking into this.
