Selling on Google Shopping
Google Shopping allows shoppers to quickly and easily find your products on Google. Google Merchant Center is where your product feed lives. It's also where you can easily set tax and shipping rules, both of which are required before running Google Shopping Ads. A feed is simply data about your products presented in a format that Google can read and understand.
Google Shopping is currently available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Poland, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK, and the US.
