how many merchants are on shopify

to integrate shopify with google,merchant center,stick around and i'll explain step by,step but first let me introduce myself,my name is johan ish for now and i'm ceo,and founder of discover my business,i have been successfully running google,ads for e-commerce and retail businesses,for almost,seven years so let's go to the merchant,center,first i'll click sign in send you into,the merchant center if you don't have,account,just create one you'll be directed to,this dashboard which will ask,you to enter all of your information,if you need a step by step how to sign,up for merchant center,there's another video on my channel i,will basically,walk you through steps so when you sign,in to a merchant center go back to your,shopify,store click apps this one of the our,clients using,actually two apps they are most,comfortable to use it's flexify for,facebook and,fit for google shopping so the first way,if you have less than a thousand skus,there's a free software which is called,flexify,so right now i will show you this,particular app,you click install install this app and,it's automatically give you a product,feed so the next step will be copy,copy this product feed but before you do,this just go through the steps,only include first variants so for,example if you're selling,t-shirts a red color blue color with the,different sizes,you need to include all variants then,product use,seo title description actually you see,it's not over here so i'll click right,now,then go to schedule feed generation so,it will update it,daily on what time my recommendation do,this at 1am your time,1 or 2am so when you have a less,visitors,left less buyers just do this way,feed generation time is 2 a.m,and that's it click save settings,right now it will generate a product,feed from your shopify store,again the free version for flexify is,less than a thousand skus,and then i believe it's about 50 bucks,or something like that,so copy go to your merchant center click,products,feeds click plus,uh icon select the language in this case,we're english we only sell,in us uh choose destination,guys remove our shopping actions if,you're not over there,if you need to help with the shopping,actions it's kind of like amazon seller,platform,for retail stores i'm happy to help you,to set this up,uh the next step cl so enable this,disable this one click continue uh,primary feed name,my recommendation all the time a use,client's name or your personal company,name,and also use uh this dash,and app name so you kind of will know,where this fits coming from,flexi file and there's the choices,again guys if you know you will have a,google sheets you have like a small,product fit use google sheets,but we will right now use a schedule,fetch it's basically,allowing you to enter this url which,updating,every day at one or two am with the new,product feeds for example you add new,products,it will automatically go to your website,and,scroll the data to the merchant center,let's flex c5,uh fetch time again will please we'll,put,uh one or two am whatever when eastern,time,file url uh here's this url and user,username and password if you guys are,custom built website ask your developers,to create,a hosted file with the product fit,and they also needs to have user and,password so this is created for that but,for right now we leave it as it is,create feed and,that's it this fit right now is loading,sometimes,google not automatically pull up some of,the settings out here,as example currencies so make sure you,click on the feed then go to,settings then go to default currencies,and make sure you place your us dollar i,mean,or whatever locations you are because,sometimes if you not do this,right away they will disapprove you uh,disapprove your feet because there's no,currency on your feet,so that's it i mean this one is,what's going on with the flexify we can,actually actually go right now,and click fetch now just to see if this,product fit actually will be accepted by,google,it will take the sometimes just take one,minute sometimes,if it's new kind will take 24 to 48,hours,so at this moment i will probably uh,not waiting and go to another app,which called actually maybe,no it's not working yet this particular,client account's already,been running for six months so they,should have something on here by right,now,but okay i will not waste my time and we,will go to,another way to connect your uh shopify,with,merchant center the app called fit for,google shopping this,app is actually free for the lot for the,30 days free trial,and they they charge you by how many,products,and skews you have this is my personal,favorite one because,uh first of all it's allowed you to sync,your shopify right away,with all of the skews such as,t-shirt colors t-shirt um,t-shirt colors t-shirt sizes all of that,will be automatically populated by this,app highly recommend the price start i,believe at 12,to up to 400 depending on your shopify,store,so the first thing first click uh sync,settings from shopify,then go to uh notification email insert,this email it's really important click,all products default product title or,seo title again guys if you're working,with seo my recommendation will be go to,seo settings uh then go to,append for your name or to product title,yes,inventory policy follow project image,options,so if you want to add extra images from,your website,we'll leave it as it is submit,additional image,we will check it out actually let me,check,yeah submit to each product description,sometimes yes sometimes not so we finish,out here so it is sync,it has a mini private for the first time,from your app it will take more than 10,hours again since we're already working,with this client for a long time it will,take probably,a few minutes uh the next step will be,go to,integration manage products,uh it's coming back let me put my face,over here,uh go to google shopping settings,and make sure you enter your primary,domain,your currency over here and you connect,your merchant center how to find your,merchant center id,is go to your merchant account and the,top right side you will see,this id this id you copy paste out here,verify your website that's it this is,how you integrate with,your with with your,merchant center this app uh the next,step is,google shopping actions again to start,working with google shopping actions in,your new app but it's completely,different video,you can go to our channel and check how,to do so,okay so it will take as you remember,since we are new account it's already,out there it's submitted,so we're going back to our merchant,center,go to products feeds,reload this page and,product feed which are coming from this,app,seems sim shopify apps it's called,the feed name we'll call it content ipi,api so click on this one and you will,see this automatically populated in all,of the platforms,it's good click diagnostics,as as you see this particular fit,updating,every every six,hours so we need to wait a little bit,more let's go back and see,i was going on with the flexify awesome,so,as you see 76 items counted three items,were,with issues and if we see the issues we,need to fix those ones,as you see item id what the value is,item id what the value is,so by the item id you can find and add,gtan or upc,or epc numbers to your,shopify on your shopify store,and also you can download report and to,find out what the titles are for those,products,that's it this is how you connect with,the two ways your shopify with merchant,center,again if you guys have like a store of,10 products or 15 products,my personal opinion to use a spreadsheet,uh you basically go to your google drive,and create a spreadsheet,and when you click uh add new product,fit check the language continue,you just pick google sheets and it's,automatically connected to your,uh google drive and then you choose the,file this one,will give you so much possibilities with,keywords with the product type google,categories,and you can basically manually manage,your campaigns which will allow you to,basically get a lot of more results,on the google shopping side so that's it,if you like this video,please subscribe and like the button and,i'll see you in the next one,bye
