Google Merchant Center + Square Item Sync

[#1]

Does anyone on this board connect their Square site with Google Business?  I have a problem where my items automatically sync, including item name, description, stock, and photos.  

However, Google's Merchant Center rejects the item because it says it's missing the price.  I have a price, and I first thought I needed to add a sales price, so I added that, but I'm not sure that's the fix.

Any thoughts within the group?

So I struggled to get google merchant center to update with Square, I am sure there is a way to make it connect nativly but it never worked for me. I went to the API's and built a catalog export, then used it to auto populate a sheet for google to update everyday.

Check out my github or ask me for a hand if you get stuck!

Hello JTPETS,

It is very kind of you to respond. Your API suggestion sounds like a plan. I hope I can tackle this, as I am technically minded but not a programmer.

How can I find your GitHub article?  Is there a specific link to it?

Cheers!

Mark

My github is linked in my profile and you can also go here: https://github.com/JTPets?tab=repositories

I would start with the catalog export, my original post is here: https://community.squareup.com/t5/Retail-and-eCommerce/Export-your-item-urls-inventory-and-image-url...

Export your catalog to google sheets github snippet here: https://github.com/JTPets/SquareCatalogExportToSheets

JT- do you know if this pulls all locations in square? i have 2 inactive ones and it's pulling over 5000 variances. i'm assuming it's past locations.. gonna try to tweak the code. it's late and i should quit but i found your post and am determined to get my merchant centre working!

I'm having this exact same problem. All my items on Square have prices but Google has rejected 74 of them saying they don't have prices... I shouldn't have to build an API--that's what I have hired Square to do!

Googles merchant app is not ideal even when dealing directly with Google. I still struggle with that even with a self implementation
