Head to head
Feed Monitoring
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGoogle silently disapproves products the moment a GTIN, price, or apparel attribute is missing or invalid, and the official channel only shows cryptic error codes. Why Disapproved audits your catalog against Google Merchant Center rules (29 checks): every finding comes with a plain-English reason, the exact Shopify field to change, and a one-click link to fix it in your admin.
Most feed problems start in an app, not in your store. A feed tool rewrites a title, drops a GTIN, or pushes a stale price — and nothing tells you until Google disapproves it. Feed Sentinel audits the feed you already publish against your live catalog, variant by variant, once a day. One email when a NEW mismatch appears, on the day it changed.
- Scans your whole catalog against Google Merchant Center rules in ~2 minutes
- Plain-English reason and exact fix for every disapproval risk
- Health score plus one-click deep links to fix products in your admin
- Variant-by-variant comparison of your feed against your live Shopify catalog
- Alerts only for mismatches that are new, never a repeat of yesterday's
- Exact GTIN and price checks through the Admin API, not page scraping
- Run a scan on demand without moving your alert baseline
