Required Product Attributes

Feedy checks every product against each platform’s rules. If a product has an error for a platform, Feedy leaves it out of that platform’s feeds until you fix it. Warnings and recommendations don’t block a product.

This page lists what causes errors. For the full list of warnings and recommendations, see Validation Rules.

Google Shopping

A product is left out of Google Shopping feeds if any of these are missing:

What’s needed	Where it comes from	How to fix it
Description	Shopify description or your custom description	Add one in Shopify or on the product page in Feedy
At least one image	Shopify product images	Add an image in Shopify
A price above 0	First variant’s price in Shopify	Set a price in Shopify
At least one variant	Shopify	Check the product in Shopify
Brand	Brand in Feedy, or your Shopify vendor	Set a vendor in Shopify or a Brand in Feedy
GTIN (barcode) for branded products	GTIN in Feedy, or any variant’s barcode in Shopify	Add the barcode, or uncheck Identifier exists
Google Product Category	Set on the product in Feedy	Pick a category on the product page, use bulk edit, or use AI suggestions

Products without a GTIN

Handmade, custom or vintage items often have no barcode. For these, open the product in Feedy and uncheck Identifier exists. Feedy then stops asking for a GTIN and adds identifier_exists set to false to the Google feed. You still need a brand.

Facebook (Meta) Catalog

Errors: missing title, description, image or price.

TikTok Catalog

Errors: missing title, description, image, price or SKU. Add SKUs to your variants in Shopify.

Pinterest Catalog

Errors: missing title, description, image or price.

Microsoft Advertising

Errors: missing title, description, image or price, or having neither a GTIN nor a brand.

Find products with errors

On the Dashboard, click Fix Now on the “Fix N product errors” item in Recommended Actions, or the issues count in Catalog Health.
On the Products page, the status column shows which products are ready for Google Shopping and which need attention.
On a product’s page, the sidebar lists every issue for that product.

Ways to add missing data

One product: open it from Products and fill in the fields. See Editing a Product’s Feed Data.
Many products: select them on Products and use Edit Brand, Edit GTIN, Edit Category or Edit Condition & Attributes. See Bulk Editing.
From Shopify: fix it in Shopify (images, prices, SKUs, barcodes, vendor). Feedy picks up the change automatically.
For a whole feed: use Field Mapping to pull a value from another Shopify field or a metafield.

Edits made in Feedy apply to Google Shopping feeds. For other platforms, fix the data in Shopify or through the feed’s field mapping.
