Google Merchant Center StrawberryThe Google Merchant Center products nobody wants to work through
A companion works the 2 operations your Google Merchant Center account exposes. It can update a product and create a product, and every one of those waits on an approval card showing the product before it changes.
Open the product. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Google Merchant Center afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a product until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Google Merchant Center exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, no reads and 2 writes. In practice that means it can update a product and create a product.
The Google Merchant Center API stops at Google Merchant Center. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the products come from?
In the tab.
Google Merchant Center exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens Google Merchant Center in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The products are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the products. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Google Merchant Center admin becomes a queue you review.
Which products wait for your approval?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a product and create a product, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the product, the field and the new value before it lands in Google Merchant Center.
Nothing in Google Merchant Center is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the product exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Update Product
- Create Product
Can the products pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Google Merchant Center products pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of store admin, the Google Merchant Center products sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
