Manage your Google Product Listings

From the Channels Listings section of your online Square Dashboard, you can bulk edit your listings so you can quickly view or edit the attributes of your listings.

Bulk Edit

You can bulk edit your listings using a CSV file by exporting your existing channel listings library, then reimporting your catalog. 

Tip: 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.

To do so:

1. Under Channels Listings, click Bulk edit.

2. Click Export library.

3. Open the exported file and update the necessary fields in any spreadsheet software like Google Sheets.

4. Save the file in CSV format.

5. Go back to Channel Listings page and click Bulk edit.

6. Drag the CSV file on the page or click upload it from your computer to select the file.

7. Click Import. You’ll see a confirmation screen once the import is complete. If the import is incomplete, follow the instructions under “How to resolve” and try again.

Note: Only fields supported by your channel(s) will be editable for your existing channel listings. You cannot add new or delete existing listings.

Enhance Your Google Product Listings

1. Visit the Items section of your online Square Dashboard and select Channel Listings.

2. Click on a listing from the list provided, or click Review from the Enhance your listings banner at the top of the screen to review the recommendations for all product listings.

3. From the Edit listing screen, you can view the attribute recommendations (highlighted in green) and click to apply them. You can also dismiss a recommendation by entering in a custom attribute value of your choice.

4. Click Save if you’re updating a single listing or click Save and Continue if you’re reviewing multiple listings.

If you dismiss the Enhance your listings banner, you can still update attributes associated with your product listings by following the same steps above.
