Shopify Google Merchant products rejected

Topic summary

A Shopify merchant in Germany is experiencing widespread product rejections from Google Merchant Center. While some issues like incomplete data (missing color, size attributes) were straightforward to resolve, other policy violations remain unclear despite reviewing landing page and product policies.

A community member identified two critical issues:

Primary Problems:

  • Incorrect country targeting (must target Germany first when located there)
  • Mixed language content (English and German combined), which Google prohibits

Recommended Actions:

  • Set German as the exclusive language
  • Configure proper country targeting for Germany
  • Review Google’s merchant policies systematically

Multiple Google support links were provided covering merchant center guidelines, policy requirements, and troubleshooting resources. The discussion remains open as the merchant works through additional compliance issues beyond the initial fixes.

Make sure as you are located in Germany, that you first target the german country.

Also ensure you only use German language, you have a mix of English and German, Google will not allow this.

You will have a lot more issues, but the above is what you should start with, then check the below policies to find more issues:
