Submit accurate product data for your wireless products and services
Follow the standard requirements
People are looking for specific product information when they’re searching for wireless products and services. Ensure that they get the information they need by submitting all required product attributes. Each product variant (identified, for example, through different values for the color [color] and size [size] attributes) must also be submitted as a separate product within your product data. Learn more about Product data specification.
Mobile phones, tablets, or prepaid SIM cards for a fixed price
Mobile phones, tablets, or prepaid SIM cards can be shown in any country when paid in full up-front and not combined with optional monthly device installment payments or a wireless subscription plan. You can use the price [price] attribute (not "0") to provide the full price.
Mobile phones or tablets with subscription plan and/or installments
Eligibility to list certain types of products varies from country to country. Check the installment [installment] and subscription cost [subscription_cost] attributes to see if your products and services can be advertised with installment payments or with a subscription plan in your desired target country.
The United States
You can provide the option to purchase your mobile phone or tablet with a full up-front payment or with monthly installment payments with downpayment.
- Price is required and represents the full up-front payment for your product.
- Installments are optional and provide an alternative way of paying for your product in monthly payments, including a down payment, which can be 0.
- The subscription cost
[subscription_cost]attribute is not available in the US. - For the US only, any fees (such as activation fees) specifically related to an additional wireless subscription plan shouldn’t be included in the price
[price], installment[installment], or shipping[shipping]attributes. Any government fees also shouldn’t be included. Specific shipping or delivery related fees that you charge as a merchant for the device should be included in the shipping[shipping]attribute.
Price
[price] attribute to submit the full up-front payment required to purchase the device.Installment
Use the installment [installment] attribute to submit a series of payments over time to pay back the cost of the product. Wireless products typically follow an installment payment model in order to make it easier for customers to buy an expensive device.
The currency amount you submit in the installment [installment] attribute is the amount of a single monthly repayment, not the total of all the monthly repayments. The installment [installment] attribute can also include an initial up-front payment known as down payment amount. These figures specifically do not include any money used to pay for the telecom services.
[installment] attribute can only be used for mobile devices such as phones, laptops, smart watches, or tablets.Title
Use the title [title] attribute to specify that the product you are selling is sold with installment payments. For example, a Google Pixel 5, 32GB very silver (with 12 monthly installment payments).
Examples
- Mobile phones without a subscription plan, sold at a fixed price
Follow the same standard as other product types when submitting mobile phones without a subscription plan, sold at a fixed price. As expected, the price submitted should be the fixed price (greater than "0") of the mobile device alone. Don’t include any fees directly related to an additional wireless plan that a customer needs to purchase.

You can provide the option to purchase a wireless device with an up-front payment and an additional monthly device installment payment and/or a wireless subscription plan.
- Price is required and represents the full up-front payment for your product, including any fees such as service and activation fees included in the price you charge on your landing page.
- Installments are optional and provide a way to show additional monthly installment payments for your device plus a device down payment (including any fees such as service and activation fees included in the down payment your charge on your landing page).
- Subscription cost is optional and provides the additional monthly cost for a wireless subscription plan.
- You can provide installments, subscription cost, or both.
Subscription cost
Use the subscription cost [subscription_cost] attribute to submit a series of payments made over a period of time for the telecom services that are bundled with a wireless product offer. Payments are usually made for 6, 12, or 24 months. The currency amount submitted in the feed is a single monthly charge, rather than the total of all the monthly service charges. The subscription plan cost does not include any money used to repay the initial cost of the phone.
[installment] attribute is also provided, the value of monthly installment payment will be added to the value of the monthly subscription plan cost before rounding up. The provided value must still exactly match the amount as shown on your site.You should not submit the subscription cost [subscription_cost] attribute for prepaid SIM cards since the full price is paid in advance.
Price
Use the price [price] attribute to submit the full up-front payment required to purchase the device.
Installments
Use the installment [installment] attribute to submit the alternative option to a full up-front payment, for example, a series of payments over time to pay back the cost of the product. Wireless products typically follow an installment payment model in order to make it easier for customers to buy an expensive device.
The currency amount you submit in the installment [installment] attribute is the amount of a single monthly repayment, not the total of all the monthly repayments. This figure does not include any money used to pay for the telecom services. To simplify the customer experience, it’s recommended that you use the same number of months for both your installment payments and subscription plan. If you use a different number of months for these two agreements, for example, 12 months for the subscription plan and 6 months for the installment payments, then the highest number of months will be shown.
Merchants and service providers will often require a substantial deposit for high-cost products. This may just be the cost of a new SIM card that the customer is required to accept with a new phone or a down payment for the device itself.
Submit the down payment [downpayment] sub-attribute of the installment [installment] attribute as the downpayment you charge on your landing page. This includes any government or other fees you charge, for example, activation or handling fees.
A customer may have to pay the first installment when they buy the product, but this shouldn’t be included in the down payment [downpayment] sub-attribute of the installment [installment] attribute as this isn’t considered a down payment.
Use the same currency for the price [price] and installment [installment] attributes.
Title
Use the title [title] attribute to specify that the product you are selling is sold in installments and/or bundled with a subscription plan. For example, a Google Pixel 5” 32GB Very Silver (with contract, 12 monthly installment payments).
Examples
- Mobile phones without a subscription plan, sold at a fixed price

Get your product data in Merchant Center with the right timing for new product launches
If you have a specific launch date for a new wireless product, submit your product data 3-5 business days before the launch to allow time for Google to crawl and validate your product data, but no earlier than 30 days in advance. Taking this extra step will ensure that your product can be listed on the actual launch date. You can add your new product data:
- Before the launch date (recommended) so your product data and campaign setup can ramp up leading to the actual launch announcement. Set the value for the availability
[availability]attribute topreorder, and set the value for the availability date[availability_date]attribute to the official release date of the product. This will also allow you to take orders for the product even before the product is released for sale. - On or after the launch date, but be aware that it can take up to 72 hours for feed processing to complete. Submit your product data as soon as possible to avoid errors and set the value for the availability
[availability]attribute to display asin_stock.
Especially for new product launches, make sure to submit accurate and optimized product information to set up your ads and free listings for success. Obtain the correct GTINs, optimize your product title [title] to display the important product information, and build your values for the product type [product_type] attribute to at least three levels to capture the most relevant search traffic.
Optimize your landing pages for wireless products and services
When customers click through to your landing page from your Shopping ad, your product information must match on the landing page to create the most seamless experience. If activation charges or other fees will be applied at checkout, make sure this information is clearly displayed on your landing page before your customer enters your checkout flow. Excluding or showing different product information can mislead and frustrate your customers. Learn more About landing page requirements.
Pre-select and mark up wireless product variants on your landing page
To ensure the most consistent customer experience, make sure to lead customers to a landing page with the preselected mobile phone variant that corresponds to your Shopping ad. This way, when someone clicks through from your ad, they will see the same product variant they were searching for.
One way of preselecting product variants is by appending unique URL parameters to your link [link] attribute. Always test to make sure your landing page passes the URL parameter back properly and behaves as expected. For example, your landing page should load a preselected radio button or drop-down selection of the respective phone variant.
Additionally, you can allow Google to pull in product information for multiple variants on the same landing page by adding structured data markup to your landing page’s source code. Structured data markup lets Google read your site and pull product data directly from your HTML source code. Learn more About structured data markup
By implementing structured data markup and enabling automatic product updates, you can maintain accurate product information automatically, like price and availability.
URL parameters for color options: You can pre-select variants to distinguish different color options on the same landing page by adding URL parameters like the following:
- Silver phone variant: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone?sku=_pixel_phone_silver_32gb
- Black phone variant: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone?sku=_pixel_phone_black_32gb
Landing page example:
URL parameters for installment durations:
You can pre-select variants to distinguish different installment durations on the same landing page by adding URL parameters like the following:
- Phone variant with 6-month installments: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone?sku=_pixel_phone_silver_32gbinstallments=6
- Phone variant with 24-month installments: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone?sku=_pixel_phone_silver_32gbinstallments=24
Landing page example:
URL parameters for service contract options:
You can pre-select variants to distinguish fixed price versus service contract pricing options on the same landing page by adding URL parameters like the following:
- Phone variant without a service contract: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone?sku=_pixel_phone_silver_32gbcontract=no
- Phone variant with a service contract: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone?sku=_pixel_phone_silver_32gbcontract=yes
Simplify the purchase flow to a single landing page
Make it easier for your customers to choose and purchase their desired wireless product and service bundle on the same landing page. Separating the purchase flow across multiple pages can cause your customers to bounce from your site before completing the purchase.
Submitting high-quality product information and landing pages is the backbone to running successful campaigns. Take steps today to incorporate these best practices for improving and optimizing your product data. The more relevant and clear information you can provide, the more sales you’ll likely drive for your wireless products and services.
