Instantly detect missing fields, format errors, and common Merchant Center issues before you upload your product feed.
Google Merchant Center has strict requirements for product data. Feeds are often rejected due to missing required attributes like price, availability, or image links. Even small formatting errors—like an incorrect currency code or invalid URL—can prevent your products from appearing in Shopping ads.
The most frequent Google Shopping feed errors include: missing required fields (id, title, description, link, image_link, price, availability), invalid price formats (must include currency code like "29.99 EUR"), incorrect availability values, and non-HTTPS image URLs. These issues can cause product disapprovals or account suspensions.
Running a Google Shopping feed validator before uploading to Merchant Center helps you catch and fix issues proactively. This prevents campaign disruptions, reduces disapproval rates, and ensures your products are eligible to appear in Shopping results. Our free feed validation tool checks all required fields and formats according to Google's current specifications.
