Official deprecation announcement for Content API for Shopping

18 August 2025In force

Who is affected

All stores sending their catalogue to Google Merchant Center via the Content API

What it changes

Google publicly sets the shutdown at August 2026 and asks for migration to the Merchant API, starting the countdown for product feeds.

What to do

This one is settled by the app that sends your catalogue, not by your theme. Ask its publisher whether the move to the Merchant API is done, and when it was deployed on your store.
