Great question with multiple answers based on conditions. So let’s explain how long the wait time is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-Ever Feed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have never created a feed before and have added a feed to Google Merchant Center for the first time, then the approval process takes between 3 to 5 business days (weekends don’t count).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that you do not have any feed errors by checking\u00a0Products > Feeds > Click on your feed > Processing<\/strong>. Also, check that your products are not missing any crucial requirements by checking\u00a0Products > Diagnostics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existing Feed When Updating or Adding New Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have an existing feed connected to Google Merchant Center and have all previous products already approved, it takes around\u00a0half an hour<\/strong>\u00a0to reflect in the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check the processing of the feed info in Google Merchant Center by going to Products > Feeds > Click on your feed > Processing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Google<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And after half an hour, the info will be updated and can be viewed by going to Products > All products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product update will also reflect in Google Ads, at the same time. However, in certain rare situations outside of our control, this can take up to 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Tips For Common Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensure that Google Merchant Center collects product info after updating your feed if using a text file, Google sheets, or XML. If you are using Google’s Content API, you need to contact the app developer.<\/li>
  • If you have an extensive product list, for example, 50k+, it will take longer to be processed.<\/li>
  • If you have errors in your feed, the processing will entirely or partially fail.<\/li>
  • Google Ads does not show all product data. Google Ads > Shopping Campaign > Products > Click on your product. <\/strong>This is a long-standing bug and can be ignored. As long as the info submitted is correct in Google Merchant Center. Your ads will use the information from Google Merchant Center.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
