Ensure that they get the information they need by submitting all required product attributes. Note that your price [price] attribute must include all activation charges as well as other fees that will be applied during checkout. Each product variant (for example, color [color] or size [size]) 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 additional 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.

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.

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 activation fees and device down payment
- Activation fees occur for wireless service subscription plans or offers with wireless subscription plans. Fees can include the cost of mandatory, prepaid SIM cards and service down payment.
- Installments are optional and provide a way to show additional monthly installment payments for your device.
- Subscription cost is optional and provides the additional monthly cost for a wireless subscription plan.
- You can provide installments, subscription cost, or both.
- Your price can be "
0" when you 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 a single down payment required to purchase the product. 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. Submit the price [price] attribute as the sum of the activation fee and the down payment.
When there is no down payment required for an offer, then the customer may still be required to make the first of the installment payments when they purchase the product, but this is not considered as a down payment in the feed. Submit the correct values for the installment [installment] attribute, and submit "0" for the price [price] attribute.
If a product offer has no subscription cost or installment, then the down payment is the normal purchase price, and value for a down payment is submitted in the same attribute as a normal price.
All costs associated with a wireless product or service must be submitted in a single currency.
Installments
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. 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.
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
Follow the same standard as other product types when submitting wireless devices 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.

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:

- 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

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.
