Products blocked from Google Shopping
Missing GTINs, stale prices, broken image URLs, and incomplete attributes cause Google Merchant Center to disapprove products. The average merchant has over 100 products in this state without knowing it.
Merchdex scans your Shopify catalogue, finds the data issues blocking your products from Google Shopping, generates crawl-ready feeds for AI discovery channels, fixes them with your approval, and tracks the revenue result. Feed health, semantic enrichment, and attribution - in one tool.

The problem
When someone asks ChatGPT to find a jacket for a winter wedding on a $300 budget, the AI searches product catalogues in real time. Merchants with rich, structured, validated product data get recommended. Everyone else is invisible.
Missing GTINs, stale prices, broken image URLs, and incomplete attributes cause Google Merchant Center to disapprove products. The average merchant has over 100 products in this state without knowing it.
Google, ChatGPT, and Gemini all need structured product attributes - occasion, fit, material, use case - to match products to specific buyer queries. Most catalogue listings have a title, a price, and a description written for human readers.
Traffic from Google Shopping, AI surfaces, and referral channels arrives without clear attribution. Merchants spend on discovery without knowing which channels generate real orders.
What Merchdex does
One Shopify install. Merchdex scans your catalogue, finds what is blocking products from Google Shopping and AI feed indexing, fixes it with your approval, and tracks the commercial result.
Every product gets a score from 0–100 covering data completeness, attribute coverage, image validity, claim accuracy, and Google Merchant Center eligibility. Free for every product in your catalogue.
We generate fit profiles, occasion tags, material properties, climate suitability, and natural-language product summaries - everything AI agents need to confidently recommend your products.
Sensitive claims - waterproof, organic, sustainable, lifetime warranty - are flagged and blocked from export until you provide source evidence. Protects your compliance posture automatically.
Merchdex generates Google Merchant Center CSV, ACP-format feed files, UCP-format feed files, and schema.org structured data from one enriched catalogue. Feed files are hosted at secure URLs that destination crawlers fetch. No engineering required.
Track which channels drive clicks and orders. Confirmed, likely, and assisted attribution shown separately. Revenue reported net of refunds. Return rate trend shown alongside GMV - a second proof of value independent of channel attribution.
AI agents check stock before recommending. Stale inventory kills agent trust. Merchdex syncs in real time via Shopify webhooks - so what AI agents see matches what shoppers can actually buy.

Built for the rest of us
When Walmart or ASOS wants to be discoverable by ChatGPT, they assign an engineering team, hire an agency, and spend months building custom ACP and UCP integrations. The result: their products appear at the top of AI shopping recommendations. Yours don't.
That gap - between what large retailers can afford and what independent merchants can access - is exactly what Merchdex closes. Every feature in Merchdex was previously available only to merchants with six-figure data infrastructure budgets. AI-native enrichment. Multi-protocol feed generation. Attribution dashboards. All of it, starting at $99 per month, with no engineering work required.
The shift to AI-mediated shopping does not have to favour the biggest players. It can favour the brands with the best products - if those products are structured in a way AI agents can understand. That is what Merchdex makes possible for every independent merchant, regardless of team size or technical capability.

FAQ
Yes, for now. Merchdex is Shopify-first. WooCommerce and BigCommerce connectors are on the roadmap - join the waitlist on our contact page to be notified when your platform is supported.
No. Merchdex installs from the Shopify App Store in two minutes. Your catalogue syncs automatically. The enrichment queue, feed exports, and attribution dashboard are all no-code. Your developer does not need to be involved.
No. Merchdex generates correctly formatted feed files that OpenAI and Google crawl and index on their own schedules. We make your catalogue eligible, structured, and current - the AI platforms decide what to recommend and when. No product can guarantee ranking in ChatGPT or Gemini, and any tool that claims otherwise is misleading you.
Connect your Shopify store and Merchdex will scan your entire catalogue, generate a Catalogue Readiness Score for each product, and show you the top 10 issues affecting your eligibility and discoverability - all at no cost. No credit card required. You decide whether to fix them.
Never. Merchdex is merchant-side infrastructure only. Shoppers checkout on your store. Merchdex tracks the attribution - who came from where - but never touches payment data or acts as a payment intermediary.
You own your enriched data. Before cancellation, you can export all AI-generated attributes as a CSV to keep or import elsewhere. We do not delete your approved enrichments for 30 days after cancellation.
