A Google Merchant Center suspension means Google has disabled your account and your products are no longer shown on Google Shopping, Shopping ads and other Google surfaces.
This suspension can be temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the violations detected. Without quick corrective action, you lose access to one of the most powerful acquisition channels for e-commerce.
Understanding why your account was suspended is the first step toward recovery.
Misleading information about your products, prices or business. This is the #1 cause of GMC suspension.

Missing legal pages (T&Cs, return policy), incomplete contact information.
Unsecured checkout, unauthorized payment methods, hidden fees.
Poor quality images, misleading descriptions, incorrect prices in the feed.
Site unavailable, page load times too slow, crawl errors.
