Hi,
Our clients products stop showing on Google Merchant Center because Google Sales Channel app doesn’t pull the shipping policy anymore from Shopify to Google. It worked fine before but on September it just got broke somehow.
Our client has so many shipping rates and policies that I can’t configure them manually. Instead, our client uses an app called Intuitive Shipping to calculate the rates, which vary depending on product dimension, weight, and client location.
We use Google Sales Channel, and it worked before, but not anymore. I was wondering if it would help if I create a new Merchant Center account and set up the shipping using the Sales Channel app, as I did when I first created the Shopping feed. The product rates get pulled fine, but not the shipping policy.
Thanks!
I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing with syncing shipping policies from Shopify to Google Merchant Center (GMC) via the Google Sales Channel app. This problem can arise, especially when using third-party apps like Intuitive Shipping for complex shipping calculations.
Here’s what you can do:
Manual Configuration in Google Merchant Center:
- Disable Automatic Shipping Updates: In the Google Sales Channel app, navigate to the settings and disable the option to automatically import shipping information.
- Manually Set Up Shipping in GMC: Log in to your GMC account and manually configure shipping settings to mirror those in Shopify. This approach ensures that GMC accurately reflects your store’s shipping policies.
Alternative Apps for Syncing: Consider using alternative apps that can sync Shopify’s shipping settings with GMC more effectively. Use AdNabu app for syncing shipping settings automatically.
Reinstall the Google Sales Channel App: Sometimes, reinstalling the app can resolve syncing issues. Uninstall the Google Sales Channel app from Shopify and then reinstall it to see if this action restores the syncing functionality.
Monitor for Updates: Keep an eye on updates from Shopify and Google regarding the Google Sales Channel app. They may release patches or updates to address known issues.
