Ten checks — the ones that look like two products to Google
Not a 70-point store scan. These are the on-page signals that make Google read one product as two, or read a price and stock it can act on.

Merchant Center suspensions
Common questions
Why did Google Merchant Center suspend my Shopify store?
The most common trigger is misrepresentation: the price, availability, or identity in your product feed and structured data doesn't match what a shopper sees on the page. Conflicting Product schema, price mismatches, and stock that says in-stock while the page shows sold out all count.
What is a Product schema conflict?
When a product page has more than one Product JSON-LD block and they disagree on name, price, brand, availability, or identifier. Google reads all of them and can't tell which is true, so it may treat the listing as misrepresenting the product. Your theme and an SEO app both emitting Product schema is the usual cause.
Is this the same as a full Merchant Center review?
No. This checks only what's visible from fetching one product page. It can't see your GMC account settings, feed-file values, business verification, or cool-down status — those stay a manual, account-level review, and the report says so.
Do I need GTIN and MPN on every product?
Google wants a valid product identifier where one exists. Submitting an internal Shopify SKU in the mpn field is a common data-quality flag — a real manufacturer part number or GTIN is what Google expects.
My availability says in stock but it's sold out — is that a problem?
Yes. If your structured data or feed says InStock while the page shows sold out, Google can flag it as misrepresentation. Keeping stock status accurate across your store and feed is the fix.
Does the checker store my data?
No. It fetches the page you paste, runs rule-based checks in memory, and returns the report. Nothing is saved and there's no signup.
