Understanding GMC Product Status
When Google Merchant Center (GMC) is connected, Feedy can show you how Google has reviewed your products.
Check status
Section titled “Check status”- Go to Settings, and under Integrations click Manage next to Google Merchant Center.
- Click Sync Now (or Sync Again).
Feedy reads the products in your Merchant Center account and shows three counts:
| Count | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Approved | Google approved the product for at least one destination |
| Pending | Google hasn’t finished reviewing it |
| Issues | Google disapproved the product for at least one destination |
The page also shows when the account was Last synced. Feedy syncs status automatically every 6 hours, and you can click Sync Now at any time.
See GMC issues on a product
Section titled “See GMC issues on a product”For products that Feedy uploaded directly, Feedy also saves Google’s issue messages on the product. Open the product from Products. Issues from Google appear in the sidebar with a From GMC badge, next to Feedy’s own validation issues.
For products that reach Google through a feed URL, see the details in Merchant Center: click Open Google Merchant Center and check the product’s issues there.
Fix a disapproved product
Section titled “Fix a disapproved product”- Read the issue in Feedy or in Merchant Center.
- Fix the data in Shopify or on the product page in Feedy, then Save.
- Regenerate the feed and let Google fetch it, or upload the product again.
- Click Sync Now later to check the new status. Google can take a while to re-review products.
