With this new integration, you can connect your SalesXMayor store with Google Merchant Center to show your products in Google Shopping, in Google search results, and to create intelligent campaigns in Google Ads.
What do you need?
- A Google (Gmail) account.

- The link to your catalog generated by VentasXMayor.
Step by step to connect your catalog

Go to https://merchants.google.com/ and sign in with your Google account.
2. Create a new product feed
- In the left menu, click Products → Add Products.
- Press the blue + button to add a new feed.
3. Choose how you are going to upload the feed

“Add products from a file”
In Enter a link to your file, paste the URL that we provide in your store administrator -> Advertising -> Google Merchant Example: https://tudominio.com/feed/google-merchant.csv
4. Set your update preference:

Click Continue to finish.
Ready! Google will start processing your products and, if all is well, in a few hours they will be available to be used in campaigns.
How to keep products up to date?
You don't have to do anything manual. Google will take the file every day when you configure and will automatically update the products you have in your store.
Are my wholesale prices going to be seen publicly?
No, although Merchant requires that you enter a price, the default prices that will be displayed are $1 and the actual price of the product will not be displayed until the customer creates an account in your store and agrees to buy.

📌 Tips to make the most of this integration
- Make sure you have clear images, descriptive titles and correct prices in your store.
- Use Google Ads Smart Shopping for automatic campaigns based on your feed.
- If a product doesn't appear, check the alerts in your Google Merchant account.
🤖 ERROR NOT APPROVED
If you've already updated but in your product feed you see that they say Not Approved
Your products won't show up.
This typical error is because you haven't yet verified the ownership of your domain in Merchant Center:
To verify this, click on Confirm online store
Select Receive a code in your company email (requires configuring email with your domain, available for free in your administrator -> corporate email)
Fill in your email and click on Get Code
Check with the code that comes to your email.
Second Option:
Enter the URL of your store, and then select Use Google Tag Manager
Finally, click on Verify your online store
Requires linking your account to Tag Manager first -> See Tag Manager Connection Guide
Once your store is verified with one of these methods, the products will be published in Merchant Center.
