The Content API feed from Shopify does not have the option to ‘Fetch Now’ I don’t believe
Topic summary
Issue: Product title changes in Shopify (via the Google channel using Content API) are not updating in Google Merchant Center (GMC), so existing title-related errors persist and products aren’t showing.
Expected behavior and timing:
- Updates should sync automatically from Shopify to GMC.
- Typical propagation is cited as ~24–48 hours, though delays can occur.
Manual refresh confusion:
- One suggestion was to use “Products > Feeds > Fetch now.”
- Multiple replies clarified this does not apply to Content API feeds; “Fetch now” is for file/scheduled-fetch feeds, not API-based feeds pushed by Shopify.
Latest status:
- No updates have occurred since April 27 for the original poster.
- The poster has contacted Google Support and could not find any manual update option.
Context/explanation:
- Content API = direct, app-driven sync from Shopify to GMC without a manual fetch control in GMC.
Resolution:
- No confirmed fix shared. Recommended next steps remain contacting Shopify Support and Google Merchant Center Support. Discussion remains open/unresolved; another user reports no solution found.
