When setting up Google Merchant thru Shopify I’m getting the error: Missing Korean business registration number [Captura de pantalla 2023-03-14 a las 20.02.54.png] Does that mean I can’t sell goods to that country without registering phisically on that country? What’s the point of ecommerce then…

Go to GMC > products > feeds > click on your feed > settings > uncheck the country in the settings. Then in the gear icon > shipping > remove korea from the shipping list Then reprocess the feed, following the steps here: https://feedarmy.com/kb/how-to-reprocess-content-api-in-google-merchant-cent…

Every country has there own laws, if you want to advertise in Korea, you must be a legally registered Korean business. If you are not, simply ignore and accept you can not target Korea.

So is there a way not to advertise there but sell there? Thanks.

I don’t know, I only know the info regarding advertising in Google Merchant Center, that you need a business license.

Hi there, @iAreku ! Thank you for your post. @EmmanuelFlossie provided some great context regarding Google’s merchant requirements for Korea. I also wanted to share this support document from Google. It explains that in order to show Shopping ads in South Korea, you’ll need to have a valid Business…

I am already selling globally, no issues with that. Question is if this single Korean ordeal stops the WHOLE Google Merchant thing from working with Shopify… aka because of this requirement GM wont work GLOBALLY even if I sell GLOBALLY already.

Simply answer, no, there are no issues. Simply do not target Korea. You can check if other countries are approved by going to Google Merchant Center > Products > Diagnostics > change the filter to specific countries you want to view, or learn more about.

OK thanks! So how I dissable Google Merchant ONLY FOR S.KOREA? Ty!

Many thanks! I did this: “Go to GMC > products > feeds > click on your feed > settings > uncheck the country in the settings.” by clicking the small pencil icon. Is that so or is this step “Then in the gear icon > shipping > remove korea from the shipping list” something I haven’t found where?

If you can not find your shipping settings, try this link: https://merchants.google.com/mc/shipping/services

Thanks! South Korea is missing already in that list so I guess that’s all about it :wink: Thanks again!
