What is the Google Merchant Center?
Google Merchant Center is like a digital storefront for your products on Google. It’s where you upload and manage information about your products, like titles, descriptions, images, prices, and availability. This data is used to create product listings that can appear across Google.
Why should I connect to Google Merchant Center?
By syncing your product information to Google Merchant Center, your products can appear in relevant Google searches, Shopping tab, image searches, and even on other platforms like YouTube. When running Performance Max campaigns, Google Merchant Center ensures that shoppers see the most up-to-date and accurate information about your product feed, reducing confusion and improving the chances of a purchase.
Will my deals and promotions display on Google?
To show your coupons and promotions on Google Shopping listings, make sure you’re using the latest version of Google for WooCommerce. When you create or update a coupon in your WordPress dashboard under Marketing > Coupons, you’ll see a Channel Visibility settings box on the right: select “Show coupon on Google” to enable it.

What is Product Sync?
Product Sync is a feature fully integrated into WooCommerce’s management platform that automatically lets you sync your product feed to Google Merchant Center. It will sync all your WooCommerce product data, and you can also add or edit products individually or in bulk. To ensure products are approved by Google, check that your product feed includes the following information:
- General product information
- Unique product identifiers
- Data requirements for specific categories (auto-assigned by Google):
- Apparel & Accessories
- Media
- Books
Where do I manage my product feed and my Google Ads campaigns?
You can manage and edit all of your products and your Google Ads campaigns right from your WooCommerce dashboard and on the WooCommerce Mobile App.
Where will my products appear?
Once you start running a Performance Max ads campaign, your approved products will reach more shoppers to help grow your business by being shown on Google Search, Google Maps, the Shopping tab, Gmail, Youtube, the Google Display Network, and Discover feed.
