About this tool
A shopping feed rejected by Google Merchant Center or a marketplace usually fails on something mundane — a missing required field on a handful of products, two items sharing an ID, a price field with the wrong format. Catching these before submitting saves a rejection-and-resubmit cycle.
How to use it
- Upload the XML feed and set the item path (the repeating element per product, e.g. rss.channel.item).
- Set which fields hold the id, price and URL, and list every field that must be present.
- Press Validate to see every issue, grouped by item.
Examples
Common problems
- "Item path not found" even though the feed clearly has products.
- The item path is a dot-separated route through the parsed XML's element names — a namespaced root element, an unusual nesting, or a typo in the path breaks the lookup. Check the raw XML's actual element names and nesting depth.
