Hello there, We’ve activated Google Shopping shopify app for our store a month ago. In Google Merchant Center > Products > Diagnostics , we’re getting warning like Limited performance due to missing identifiers [gtin, mpn, brand] ![screencapture-merchants-google-mc-products-diagnostics-2020-05-07…

Hey Cathy, You’re very welcome…I’m so glad this helped you…I was literally tearing my hair out with it. I’m glad I stopped you spending a small fortune too! This made my day, so thank you so much for letting me know. Mel :O)

This solution actually works. Thanks MelOn-Design! I have been wrestling with this for a several weeks now as over 600 of our products were limited by this issue.

@Roxee541 Yaaaaay! I’m so happy to hear this helped you…my head was about to explode, so I feel you! :see_no_evil_monkey: Have a great Christmas and relax knowing you’re all set :christmas_tree: :smiley:

A million thank you MelOn-Design!!! This solution worked flawlessly, the first time, even the test! It took a long time to go through but I waited it out. Then clicked apply and it’s done!

If I am marking my product “identified exists” = No , then do I need to keep all other fields blank/empty (Brand, MPN, GTIN)? Secondly, if s…

Yes, keep brand, mpn and gtin empty if identifier exists is set to no. As you are saying, no there are no identifiers, so if you add data, then you are contradicting the info you submit. You need to check the product packaging if it has barcodes, if it has no barcodes, then do not submit any value…
