Is anyone else missing Google Fields in the More Actions menu?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Google Fields in the product “More actions” menu disappeared. Shopify support confirms it’s deprecated; editing must now happen via the Google sales channel’s product editor, with some variant option names auto-mapped (Size, Color, Age Group, Condition, Gender).

Merchants report the new editor lacks filtering/search and increases Google Merchant Center (GMC) errors. Support advises bulk editing after making products available to the Google channel.

Workarounds:

  • Append “&app_context=1780363” to the product bulk editor URL to expose Google columns.
  • Define and pin product metafields (Settings > Custom data > Products > Metafields without a definition) so fields appear on product pages; presets for gender, age, condition help. Entering full category paths or numeric codes works for some, though category syncing is inconsistent.

Newer update: In Google sales channel > Manage Products, checking the Google column enables direct field editing and saving. Some still see Google Product Category not syncing; GMC may auto-assign when blank.

Outcome: The old menu hasn’t returned. The discussion is ongoing; a key open question is whether to remove now-duplicative product metafield definitions. Screenshots in the thread illustrate the steps and interfaces.

Just finished a chat session with support and they are checking to make sure Tech Support is aware. They will send me an email once they hear back. Send them the link to this post also. I’ll keep you updated
