Error Causing 621 Products to be Disapproved in Google Merchant Center
A shipping policy change in Google Merchant Center led to the disapproval of 621 products. Learn about the source of the error and its solution.
In a Shopify store, splitting shipping policies led to the disapproval of 621 products in Google Merchant Center. The error was reported as 'missing_shipping,' but the real issue was the new policy structure not updating quickly for all products. A simple solution was to consolidate all products under one policy.
Identifying the root cause was time-consuming, as Google Merchant Center's error messages often reflect superficial symptoms. After this experience, I developed a tool that groups disapproved products by root causes, allowing for a more efficient analysis of issues.
