With our Marketplace Autosync For WooCommerce plugin, you can list your products on the Google Merchant Center using the Auto Sync method.
In this guide, we’ll show you the Auto-Sync method to send your Products to GMC.
However, to use this method, you need to authorize with the Google Merchant Center first, and to do so, you will need the following information:
- Kunden-ID
- Kundengeheimnis
- Händler-ID
- URL umleiten
You will find out that the Redirect URL is already added, but you need to collect the Client ID, Client Secret, and Merchant ID to authorize with the Google Merchant Center.
