How it sells itself

Google Merchant Center suspends stores for problems that are easy to miss: a vague refund policy, missing contact details, shipping promises that don't match your rates, or claims Google treats as misrepresentation. Unflag scans your store against the checks Google's reviewers use and explains each problem in plain English with steps to fix it, most serious first.

A store can be suspended — or its payouts held — over a product, page or blog post that breaks a Shopify rule the merchant never knew existed. Warden checks your catalogue and content against Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy and Payments terms, checks your store setup (policies, contact, SSL), and watches your chargeback ratio against the suspension threshold.

Key points
  • Scan your whole store for problems that get Google Shopping accounts suspended
  • Get a plain-English fix for every problem, ranked by how much risk it adds
  • Check policies, contact details, checkout, shipping and product data in one go
  • Connect Merchant Center to see Google's own warnings next to your store's issues
  • Flags products, pages and blog posts that risk a ban under Shopify's policies
  • Warns before Shopify Payments freezes a payout on a restricted product
  • Chargeback-ratio early warning before the suspension threshold
  • Every finding links to the exact policy and the exact fix, one click away
