Google Shopping
Search, compare, and buy.
Overview
Google Shopping allows e-commerce merchants to showcase their products to shoppers across Google's properties, including the main search results page and the Shopping tab. Through the Google Merchant Center, sellers can upload their product data. Ecwid offers a direct integration that syncs a store's product catalog with the Merchant Center, making products eligible to appear in free product listings and paid Shopping ads. This provides a powerful channel for product discovery and customer acquisition.
