Thank you, I shall give this a go, could be a useful workaround in the meantime.
Topic summary
Google Shopping “Custom label 0–4” columns disappeared from Shopify’s bulk editor, preventing bulk updates used for Shopping campaign segmentation. Multiple users confirmed the issue.
Workarounds shared:
- Manually load the columns by appending the custom_label metafields to the bulk editor URL (metafields.mm-google-shopping.custom_label_0 … _4). Bookmarking the URL makes reuse easier.
- Use a third‑party bulk editing app (Ablestar Bulk Product Editor) for previews, undo, and import/export.
Escalation and ownership:
- One participant advised reporting to Google Merchant Center support via the Shopify 3P support form. Another suspected it might be a Shopify-side issue.
Most recent update and outcome:
- After contacting Google, support “restored the relevant columns,” which now appear again in Shopify’s bulk editor by default. This indicates the issue was resolved via Google, at least for the reporting merchant.
Notes:
- Screenshots and a short video were provided to illustrate the URL workaround and app option but aren’t required to apply the fix.
Status: Resolved. If the problem recurs, use the URL workaround and/or contact Google Merchant Center support.
