Google & Youtube App - google has only found 3 products

Topic summary

Issue: Only 3 products are detected and marked “In review” in the Google & YouTube (Shopify) app, while the store has ~40 items. The app was installed yesterday evening; a screenshot shows 3 products under review.

Context/expectations: Reviews in Google Merchant Center (GMC) typically take 24–72 hours and can take longer for new accounts. Google initially may review a small sample before expanding to the full catalog.

Recommended checks:

  • Ensure all products are Active in Shopify and published to both the Online Store and the Google sales channel.
  • Complete required attributes: title, description, price, availability, images, and GTIN/MPN when applicable.
  • Review GMC for policy warnings or feed errors.
  • Make minor edits to unsynced products to trigger a fresh sync.

Next steps if delays persist: If products remain in review beyond 72 hours or errors appear, there may be feed/store-level issues. One helper offered to audit setup with store link and collaborator access. Another participant reports bugs with the Google & YouTube app and suggests trying a specialized feed app (e.g., AdNabu).

Status: No resolution yet; wait for review window, validate data/publication settings, and troubleshoot feed errors if needed.

hello!

I am running into an issue - I am trying to run some google Ads. However it states that google has only found 3 of my products when i have more - and it states they are in review ?

those 3 products have been in review for 24 hours - can someone advise how i can fix this?

My store is

peonyandpetals.com - can someone help or advise

how long have you been syncing the products from that app?

also, how many products do you have in total?

regarding the review, yes Google will take some time to review if your product data is compliant with their shopping policies and feed requirements. it normally takes 72 hours, but complex reviews can take even longer.

Hello - i added the App to my store yesterday evening. How can i get it to sync my whole catalog of items? I have around 40 Items on my webiste

okay i see, 40 in total.

i would say, check if your products are active, include all the necessary attributes, and then manually make some minor changes to the products that haven’t been synced. that might trigger another push and your products might sync to GMC.

if you still don’t have any luck, please note that the google and youtube app has bugs and many merchants report them.

go with a specialized data feed solution like AdNabu. it is reliable and syncs all products to GMC instantly and accurately.

ok products are active as i have had people place orders this morning - how can i refresh as u gave made some minor changes to some listings and have also created new listings
