A product that sells out on another channel should not stay for sale on Google. Price and availability follow the catalog you sell from.
| Field | Google now | Catalog | Update |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | In stock | Out of stock | Send first |
| Price | £24.00 | £24.00 | No change |
We compare your catalog with what Google holds, and send only the difference.
Google takes in stock or out of stock, not a number. A stock change that does not cross zero sends nothing.
The price your catalog sells at, after your publish rules, in the currency of your Google store. A product with no price is never sent as 0.
We send one price, in your home currency. Google converts it for the extra countries. We never convert prices ourselves.
| Stock change | Sent to Google |
|---|---|
| 5 → 3 | Nothing |
| 1 → 0 | Out of stock |
| 0 → 4 | In stock |
Google limits how many updates an account can send in a day. We stay inside it.
For each product we read what Google shows now. Reading does not use your daily updates.
The update names only the price or availability that changed. Products that stop selling go before the rest.
We check how many updates the account has left today. What does not fit stays flagged for the next run.
When a price cannot go to Google safely, it is held. Availability still travels.
If a price is held, for example until you confirm the currency, an availability change is still sent. A product that is out of stock must stop selling.
A price is held when the product has no price, or when we cannot confirm your prices are in the currency of your Google store. Confirm the currency in the store's settings.
What Google shows, why a price may be held, and what stays unchanged.
