Merchant Center product feed not updating

Open the relevant data source and compare its last attempted update, fetch result, and processing result. For API or platform syncs, inspect the integration's own delivery log. A green storefront update does not prove that a new Merchant payload was delivered.

Next inspect a known changed offer. Compare its source value, submitted ID, processed Merchant value, and update timestamp.

A scheduled fetch depends on a stable URL, credentials when supported, valid file, and cadence that matches catalog changes.

• The fetch URL redirects, expires, or becomes private.
• The schedule uses an unexpected timezone.
• The file was generated successfully but contains yesterday's data.
• A format error causes rows to be rejected.
• The source is fetched less often than fast-moving price or inventory changes.

For API integrations, distinguish an accepted request from a processed product. Check authentication, quotas, partial failures, retries, and whether updates target the same account and data source. For platform apps, confirm the connection remains authorized and the intended catalog or market is selected.

Changing product IDs may create new offers while old ones remain visible. Reusing an ID for a different product can preserve confusing history. Separately, CDN, storefront, integration, or generated-file caches can publish old price and stock even after the commerce admin changed.

Avoid deleting everything as a first response. Preserve the identifiers and find the first layer where the new value disappears.

After correcting the source or integration, trigger only the supported refresh, then check processing totals and the exact offer's processed values. Product issue reevaluation may occur after the source update itself, so treat those as separate checkpoints.

CommerceVigil reads products and diagnostics that Merchant Center exposes and records sync outcomes. It does not operate your feed scheduler or platform plugin and cannot confirm a source value that never reached Google.
