Next steps
- We review your products for completeness and compliance with our policies, and inform you of any issues with products that sync to your account.
- You can check the publishing status of each product from the “Products” page (under the “Status” column). If you don’t want to show some products, you can also change the visibility of the products. Learn more about checking product visibility and status in Merchant Center.
Fix an issue
Issues with your products need to be fixed before customers can view them on Google. All issues with your product data can be found in the "Needs attention" tab of the “Products” section in Merchant Center.
Each product-level issue also contains a “Learn more” link that directs you to specific instructions for fixing the issue. Learn more about Issues in Merchant Center.
Note: Removing a data source that uses a Google Sheet from your Merchant Center doesn’t delete the Google sheet itself. Furthermore users of your Merchant Center account that had access to the Google Sheet will retain access. Learn more about deleting Google Sheets or changing sharing settings.
