Show products in multiple target countries

You can show your products across multiple countries and languages.

• Once you upload a product, you can target any combination of countries within the same data source. Learn more about supported languages and currencies.
• You can select additional countries under the “Your setup” tab in which to use your product data and/or use the shipping [shipping] attribute to indicate which countries you’d like to target for individual products.
  • Note: If you set up a multi-country shipping service, it will allow you to use a single service in multiple countries, but it won’t automatically impact which countries you target or where your products show.

If you use shipping attributes on an individual product level to target multiple countries, these products will be readily available to show in these countries.

For example, let’s say you select Germany as a target country and submit your product data in German. When you configure multiple countries on your product data, this data is now also targeted to German speakers in those countries, provided you meet the country-specific policy guidelines and set up shipping and geographical targeting for these countries.

Note: In addition to configuring additional countries in your data source, you can also opt-out products for Shopping ads in individual countries by using the excluded countries for Shopping ads [shopping_ads_excluded_country] attribute.

Add products in additional languages

Translate your product data and landing pages to multiple languages to reach more customers.

To add products in an additional language:

In your Merchant Center account, click on the Settings & tools icon .

Select Data sources.

Under the “Product sources” tab, select Add product source.

Click on the pencil icon to select the countries where you want your product data to be shown, and then click Save.

Select the “Language” from the drop down menu.

Click Continue.

The products provided in the new data source will take effect upon the next data source upload.

Requirements

• All uploaded products must adhere to Google’s Shopping policies. If you target the same product data source across multiple countries, country-specific policies are enforced separately for each country.
• If you’re advertising with Shopping ads, your products will only show in countries you’ve selected as “target countries”. Additionally, the location targeting you set in Google Ads must match the “target countries” you select in Merchant Center in order for your product to show in these countries.

For example, to allow your products to show in countries which require shipping, make sure you've correctly configured a shipping service to cover these countries or provided the shipping attributes on a product level. Keep in mind that shipping services can cover multiple countries. Learn more about multi-country shipping.

If you don’t complete these steps, your products may not show in additional countries.

Customized product data

You may need to customize your product data under the following scenarios:

Same language and currency

The new countries have the same language and currency requirements as the original target country for which you created your product data (for example, Germany and Austria). If this is the case, you don't need to take any additional steps to customize your data. You should see your products appear in the products list for any additional country you add.

Same language, different currency

The new countries have the same language but use different currencies than the country for which you originally created your product data (for example, Australia and the United States). Any currency conversions will take place automatically, so the customer sees the cost in their local currency.

Different language and currency

The new countries use a different primary language and a different currency than the country for which you originally created your product data. If a new country is added that uses a different primary language, you should create a separate data source with the product data translated into the new language. Any currency conversions will take place automatically, so the customer sees the cost in their local currency.
