A Practical Preflight for Variant MPNs Before Merchant Center Sync
Short summary
Variant MPN sync failures between Shopify and Google Merchant Center usually stem from field-source mismatches, not bad data itself. Create a detailed reconciliation table for each variant with SKU, variant ID, and MPN source; validate against Merchant Center diagnostics to confirm item-ID mapping. Always test with a small supplemental-feed sample before scaling fixes to the full catalog.
