About the shop feed specification

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

The shop feed maps your shop codes to shop addresses. If you don't provide this feed, you must match the shop codes in your sales and inventory feeds to the shop codes in the retailer's Google Business Profiles. This feed must be uploaded when you add new retailers or shops to the programme.
