Use Google channel listings
About Google channel listings
With Square 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 online store, you’ll see an enhancement banner in the Channels Listings section of your Square Dashboard. This banner lets you review recommendations to improve the way your product listings are displayed online.
Before you begin
You can bulk edit and enhance your product listings from Square Dashboard.
You can also manage your products synced to Meta. Once you’ve integrated your Facebook and Instagram accounts, you can manage items from your product catalog within your Square item library. Any future updates made to your product catalog will automatically sync to Meta Commerce Manager. Learn how to Connect Square Online with Meta for Business.
