Use Google channel listings with Square for Retail
About Google channel listings
With Square for Retail and Google Product Listings, you can publish your existing item catalogs to online sales channels quickly and easily — making your items ready for sale with accurate attributes and fields.
Once Google Product Listings have been enabled for your Square Online website, you’ll see an enhancement banner in the Channels Listings section of your online Square Dashboard. This banner lets you review recommendations to improve the way your product listings are displayed online.
Before you begin
Make sure to enable Google Product Listings for your Square Online website. Once enabled, you’ll see an enhancement banner in the Channels Listings section of your online Square Dashboard. This banner lets you review recommendations to improve the way your product listings are displayed online.
Ensure the custom attributes associated with your items are accurate and up to date. Common attributes associated with most retail products include age group, color, gender, size, and brand.
From the Channels Listings section of your online Square Dashboard, you can bulk edit, search or filter your listings so you can quickly view or edit the attributes of your listings.
Do not modify headers or remove/delete any rows. We recommend only editing the values of the existing rows, or the bulk edit may fail.
