Fixing Missing Attributes

Products with a missing required attribute have an error and are left out of that platform’s feeds. Here’s how to fix the most common ones.

Find the products

Dashboard: in Recommended Actions, click Fix Now on the “Fix N product errors” item. This opens Products filtered to products with errors.
Products page: the status column shows which products need attention.
Product page: the sidebar lists each issue. Some have an Add now link that jumps to the field.

After fixing, regenerate your feeds so the products are included. See Manual Feed Generation.

Missing Google Product Category (Google Shopping)

One product: open it, search in Google Product Category, pick a category, Save.
Many products: select them on Products, click Edit Category, enter the full category path.
With AI: click ✨ AI next to the field, or use Optimize with AI on the Products page with Google Product Categories ticked.

The feed’s default category doesn’t clear this error. See Product Categories.

Missing brand

Feedy uses your Shopify Vendor as the brand. To fix:

Set the vendor in Shopify (Feedy picks it up automatically), or
set Brand on the product page in Feedy, or
select several products and use Edit Brand.

Brand is an error for Google Shopping. For Facebook and TikTok it’s a warning. For Microsoft it’s an error only when there’s no GTIN either.

Missing GTIN

Google Shopping needs a GTIN (barcode) for branded products. Feedy looks for one in:

the GTIN / Barcode field on the product page in Feedy, then
the barcode of any of the product’s variants in Shopify.

To fix, add the barcode in Shopify or in Feedy. If the product genuinely has no barcode (handmade, custom or vintage items), uncheck Identifier exists instead. See Fixing GTIN Errors.

Missing description

Every platform needs a description. Add one in Shopify, or add a custom description on the product page in Feedy (Google Shopping only). See Customizing Descriptions.

Missing image

Every platform needs at least one image. Add images to the product in Shopify. Feedy picks them up with the next sync.

You can also leave products without images out of a feed using Exclude products without images on the feed’s Products card. See Stock, Images and Draft Products.

Missing price or price of 0

Set a price above 0 on the product’s first variant in Shopify.

Missing SKU (TikTok)

TikTok needs a SKU. Add one to the product’s first variant in Shopify.

Fixes for non-Google platforms

Edits you make on Feedy’s product page are used by Google Shopping feeds. For Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest and Microsoft, fix the data in Shopify, or change where a value comes from with the feed’s Field Mapping (for example, take the brand from a metafield).
