# Google Merchant Center

### Getting Started with Google Merchant Center

Google Merchant Center allows you to display your products in Google Shopping results, helping local customers discover your materials directly through Google Search and Maps.

#### What You’ll Need

* A **Google Account** (you can use your existing Gmail or business account)
* Your **website domain verified** with Google
* Your **product feed URL** (automatically generated by BulkDelivery PRO)

***

#### Step 1: Create a Google Merchant Center Account

1. Go to <https://merchants.google.com>.
2. Click **Get Started** and sign in with your Google account.
3. Follow the setup prompts to enter your business name, country, and website.

***

#### Step 2: Verify and Claim Your Website

1. In the Merchant Center dashboard, go to **Settings → Business information → Website**.
2. Enter your website URL (e.g., `https://yourbusinessdomain.com`).
3. Follow Google’s instructions to verify ownership, typically by adding a small HTML tag to your website or verifying through Google Search Console.

***

#### Step 3: Add Your Product Feed

1. In Merchant Center, navigate to **Products → Feeds**.
2. Click **+ Add Feed**.
3. Choose **Online Products (Free Listings or Shopping ads)**.
4. When prompted for the **feed type**, select **Scheduled Fetch**.
5. Set a name for your feed (e.g., *BulkDelivery Feed*).
6. For the **fetch URL**, enter your unique feed link from BulkDelivery PRO:

   ```
   https://[your-subdomain].bulkdelivery.app/api/google-shopping-feed.xml
   ```
7. Set the fetch frequency (daily is recommended).
8. Save your settings.

***

#### Step 4: Review Your Products

After your feed is processed, you’ll see your products listed under **Products → All Products**.\
If Google flags any items for missing information or policy issues, review the alerts in the **Diagnostics** section.

***

#### Step 5: (Optional) Enable Free Listings or Ads

Once your feed is approved, you can:

* Show your products for free in Google Shopping results.
* Or connect to **Google Ads** to run paid campaigns for extra visibility.

***

**Tip:** Your feed automatically updates each day based on your current BulkDelivery PRO product data- no manual uploads needed.
