Google Retires Google Shopping App for BigCommerce, Magento & Prestashop

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 23, 2018 - PRLog -- Google has recently announced that it will retire the apps that had been launced for the integrations for Google Shopping with the Magento, BigCommerce and PrestaShop platforms.

The reason behind this is said to be to focus on "solutions that will make the Shopping ads onboarding a more seamless experience. We're continuing to work with e-commerce platforms to explore more frictionless integration opportunities."

The apps are announced to be retired on March 20, 2018 and all the users of these apps have been notified to disconnect and delete the feeds. The integrations will not work so the product listings will not be available as Google Merchant Center fetches feeds which will not be available.

Despite the fact that products can also be added to the Google Shopping by using the Google SpreadSheet option or FTP option, an app dedicated for the specific purpose always reduces a lot of hassle.

Also, uploading the product feeds for Google Shopping using spreadsheats may be a viable option but only for shops with smaller catalogue. And uploading feeds via FTP will not enable the "Fetch" feature. Without the scheduled fetch, manually updating the files and uploading feeds becomes handful of a task for businesses.

BigCommerce and Magento platforms are still looking for a workaround to continue with Google Merchant integration on which they may or maynot succeed. We're sure that we'll all know when they will have some news update regarding this and we'll keep an active eye for that.
