About the sales feed specification

A custom icon for Merchant Center Classic article header.

This feed is only used to implement the local feeds partnership programme.

The sales feed provides a list of all products sold within a set time period. We recommend updating this feed at least daily. Upload at least 60 days worth of sales data in your first upload.

Each time that you upload the sales feed, product information is updated incrementally. You only need to include products that have been sold since the previous feed update.

Note: In order to implement the local feeds partnership programme, you're required to upload either an inventory feed or a sales feed. You can also upload both feeds and use them in combination.
