Missing value shipping for your Google Merchant Center for your Google Shopping ads,
then this is the video for you. I'm going to explain to you what is the cause of missing
shipping value and what you can do to resolve this issue, so you can get your products approved for
Google Merchant Center, and start running Google Shopping Ads. Hi, I'm Clarice Lin, The ROI Doctor

that I go into the pros and cons of different ways to drive free and paid traffic for your store,
so you don't rely just on Google to get highly qualified shoppers to your store that turns
into customers. The link in the description and pinned comment, do check that out. And today's
topic is about missing value shipping, I get this question about missing value shipping,
from many people store owners especially who are starting out with Google Shopping ads.
What happens is, when you're setting up your Google Shopping, you need three components,
which is Google Merchant Center, the Google Ads account, and the free Google Shopify app.
And when you're installing the app, there's an instruction asking you if you want to import your
shipping settings directly from Shopify to Google Merchant Center, or you want to input it directly
into Google Merchant Center. If you select option one, whatever shipping values that you have set
in your Shopify store, and you have decided to import it directly into Google Merchant Center,
if the shipping settings for your desired country has been set up properly, and it aligns with the
countries that you want to ship to and set up in Google Merchant Center. So ideally, you
shouldn't have this issue. Let's say for example, if you're a store that you want to sell in the US,
and you create some shipping settings in the Shopify store, and then you want to have your
products shown on Google Shopping in the US, so you shouldn't have missing value shipping,
because you would have imported this shipping settings into Google Merchant Center. If howeverm
you want to sell in other countries, let's say you also want to show your product in Canada,
but you didn't create a shipping settings for Canada, when Google Merchant Center
is getting this information from your Google app. It's not getting any shipping information
about shipping to Canada. And that's when you have this missing value, Shipping, you can see
actually in this error itself that missing value shipping will tell you, which are the countries
that are missing in shipping. And for those countries that is missing, you want to create
shipping settings in your Shopify settings under shipping. You want to create for those countries,
include that. So when you're extracting this information directly to Google Merchant Center,
you would see yes, okay, we want to show your products in Google Shopping in Canada, we have
the shipping instructions, the cost, the pricing, the delivery times, okay, it's all synced up,
and the error should resolve by itself. Another way to resolve this error is to select the other
option that says you want to create your shipping settings manually in Google Merchant Center,
so whatever you are creating in Shopify, Google Merchant Center will ignore it, and you
can go directly into shipping and returns under Settings, and you enter the country one by one,
the countries that you want to be shown for, you put in those shipping instructions. That
is the shipping turnaround time, the delivery costs, and the delivery times. Once you have
saved those information, then this error missing value shipping would just go away by itself. I
want to reiterate about the importance of setting up the right currency for your shipping profiles,
let's say if my store is selling in SGD. And I want to show my Google Shopping ads for Canada,
my shipping costs for Canada should also be set up in Singapore dollars and not in Canadian dollars.
Otherwise, it would also result in the missing value shipping. I hope this helps to resolve your
missing value shipping. If you have any issues around shipping for your Google Merchant Center,
