Hi @tekhnologica
I’m getting an error in my store’s Foogle product feeding stating “Limited performance due to missing identifiers [gtin, mpn, brand].” The products in question are trading cards and I cannot specify a gtin or mpn for these. How can I fix this error?
This can be closed – I figured out how to solve the issue. In Merchant Center, you can manually state that a product does not have an identifier.
I’m glad to hear that you’ve managed to resolve the issue on your own. You’re absolutely correct, in Google Merchant Center, there is an option to manually state that a product does not have an identifier. This is often the case for items like trading cards, handmade items, or vintage goods that don’t have a standard global trade item number (GTIN) or manufacturer part number (MPN).
For such products, you can set the [identifier_exists]
attribute to ‘FALSE’ in your product data. This will inform Google that your product does not have a standard identifier and thus, it will not require one for your product listing. This should resolve the “Limited performance due to missing identifiers [GTIN, MPN, brand]” error you were experiencing. ?? You can learn more about Identifier exists [identifier_exists] Here
I’ll go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. However, if you ever have more questions or issues in the future, don’t hesitate to kick off a new topic.
Have a fantastic day!
