Validate Products

Once your Google Listings are created, Sproxi will begin an internal “Validation Process” to ensure the minimum Google Shopping requirements are met.  Correcting or “fixing” any validation errors are necessary to enable Sproxi to export your listings to the Google Merchant Center.  For details,. visit: https://sproxi.com/knowledge-base/common-validation-errors-how-to-fix-them/

  1.   Go to the app dashboard by clicking the “Dashboard” link in the Sproxi menu. 
  2.  Scroll down and notice the “Local Validation” module on the dashboard.
  3.   Validation issues are grouped and aggregated by type under the three tabs: “Critical,” “Warning,” and “Other.”
  4. Click the “Critical” tab to see errors that must be corrected prior to exporting your listings to the Google Merchant Center.
  5.   Errors are grouped, or aggregated by error type.  Clicking on the error will show specific products that have this error.
  6.  After seeing this error, decide the best approach to correct the error.    For example, maybe you need to Map the SKU to the Google MPN attribute field.  After mapping this, all products will re-Validate” and this error should be corrected.
