Cause of Google Merchant Center Account Suspension

It seems like Google Merchant Center account suspension is becoming a new trend nowadays, especially for new eCommerce stores & drop shippers. You have to follow Google Ads merchant center policy to prevent suspension.

Previously google merchant center would show warnings or give us a deadline to solve the issues, but recently we observed that they are suspending accounts directly without any warning or notification; instead, you receive an email about the suspension.

Here are some points you need to follow if you want to run a Shopping Campaign in Google Ads.

• Build Trust with Google: All the information you provide on the website should be trustworthy.
• Business Info: Make sure your business info is accurate and matches everywhere on the web.
• Add physical business address (Please do not use home address).
• Use official phone Numbers (Please do not use a personal phone number)
• Use a brand’s name for email address (Like info@yourdomain.com)
• Shipping Setting: Shipping info should be accurate.
• Make sure it matches your shipping page and actual shipping practices
• Product Feed Disapprovals: Solve feed disapprovals instantly or before the Google deadline. Keep your feed error-free. If you cannot solve feed disapproval for a long time, Google assumes that you are a scammer and do not care for your account/store. Google does not want bad poor product info on their platform.
• Fake/Imported Reviews: The Reviews should be genuine. If you use fake reviews or import reviews from other Ecommerce stores or drop shipping websites, Google will catch it and suspend your account.
• Must have necessary pages regarding policy: Privacy Policy Terms & Condition Return & Refund Shipping/Delivery Info Disclaimer.
• Payment gateway: Make it clear how people can pay money, what cards are accepted, or what payment methods you provide. Put a payment gateway on the website and make it visible to the user. Refer below:

• Additional points to take into consideration for keeping the merchant center account approved:
• Make factual statements about products, qualifications, or your identity. Avoid making any false or deceptive statements.
• It would be best if you were a verified reseller. You should claim to be a verified reseller only if you have authorized proof for the same.
• Advertise only for those brands and products that you have in stock.
• Deliver products on time to users once they make a payment.
• Use a card that google can verify and accept.
• If you got your google ads account suspended in the past, kindly use a new/fresh card to create a new account.
• Your Card details should match with the Billing Name or Card Holder Name; if it does not match, google assumes that you are using a stolen card.
