Google Merchant Center adds centralized Issue Details Page

Google Merchant Center is rolling out a new Issue Details Page (IDP) to help advertisers more easily diagnose and resolve account or product-level problems.

How it works:

• Located under the “Needs attention” tab, the page provides a consolidated overview of current issues.
• It surfaces recommended actions, business impact metrics, and sample affected products — giving merchants a clearer sense of what to fix first.

Why we care. Until now, identifying and fixing issues in Merchant Center often required navigating multiple sections and reports. The new Issue Details Page (IDP) in Google Merchant Center gives advertisers a single place to view and fix account or product issues.

It highlights the problem’s impact, recommends actions, and shows affected products, helping advertisers resolve issues faster and keep listings active. In short, it saves time, improves visibility, and helps prevent lost sales.

The big picture. The update is part of Google’s broader push to improve Merchant Center usability ahead of the holiday shopping season, when product accuracy and uptime are critical for advertisers.

The bottom line. Google’s new IDP could save advertisers time and guesswork by putting all issue diagnostics and solutions in one place.
