If you have both online and physical stores, you can assign products to the stores where they are sold. Add this product availability information to Merchant Center to display your products alongside your Google Business Profile across Google, like on Google Search, Google Maps, the Shopping tab, and more. Potential customers can then check what’s available in store and what’s available to order online.

This illustration shows how your available products appear below your Google Business Profile when customers search for you on Google.

Before you can specify local product availability, you must first add your products and add your stores to your Merchant Center account.
