Hi New to Google shopping. I went in to my merchat center Just to find out I have disaprove ítem also a lot of warnings. I sale Women clothing. One of the warnings I get is gender and age group. Im using Shopify. I was thinking maybe I can do a filter on shopify for gender and set all to Women. Since all my product are for Women but i find out there is no gender on product page. Just in merchat. So I Will have to go one by one on my merchand account. Any Short Cut for this

السلام عليكم اخي سام
عندي مشكلة في جوجل ميرشنت
متجري جديد هل الصفحات القانونية مهمه جداً بالنسبه لجوجل ؟

I have had some major issues with my products getting approved. I hand make my products. Many are one of a kind and others have several in a collection. Should I click custom for all of my products, add a mom, and brand to get approved and leave the up section blank?

Is there a newer version of this video? I'm sure things have changed. Trying to fix GMC issues and not getting very far! Thank you

[sarahpontious]

Great video's They have helped me a lot!! Now for the No FUN part. My account has been suspended do to misrepresentation. So I went in to my merchant account and corrected every red error. no more red errors just a few yellow warnings only two that have <1% by them. Will these affect my account from getting unlocked?

[MachineryNation]

Hey,
Great videos! We are having some issues through our google feed due to price. This is caused by products having variations on the website, they all have a price but the google centre can't seem to understand the variations. Any idea of how to fix this?

Thanks!

# 1000 (like) haha ... good info thx.

[genevieve-with-grief]

Thanks for this video :) I wasn't able to get in touch with Google by phone due to folks working from home right now (understandable) but they got back to me via email. They disapproved my products because in my product description I note there are "possible shipping delays due to C*VID" and it got filed as "capitalizing on sensitive events" which... doesn't make any sense but ok Google. (I censored the word here for this reason.) I wanted to leave a comment here in case someone else finds this info useful. I reworded my product description to "delays in shipping due to world events" and hoping that works out! Cheers :)

[shirleymartin]

Thank goodness for this video! Fingers crossed my shop is approved.... Yay, bring on the sales :-)

[louisebastard]

[gerardmilesmckinnell]

Great video, just one thing, within GMC there is a brand box to fill in. Do I add the company that is producing the product or can I enter my brand name or business name?

[thuongphuclehuu]

Thank you so much for your lesson Sam. I cannot be more thankful. It's Lunar new year at my place right now and you just saved my day. Thank you.

[Muhmmad-Arslan]

Hi Sam,
Can you please guide me on how I can remove "Invalid destination [included destination]"
in Google Merchant Center.

[jaycordt]

Please can you show us how to fix these? for example, the availability is a massive issue and I am sure I have a dynamic feed, I have 2000 products so I cant change these every single day manually. Not sure why it's not updating automatically.

[WanDieBo]

I'm having this error "Account suspended due to policy violation: Shopping ads policies" but my product is in the home improvement niche, and has no big brands doing it. I'm still new to Google Shopping, so that's the common fixes for this?
