FAQs

Google finds products from online stores in two main ways:

  1. By scanning websites – Google looks at online store pages, reads the product info, and adds it to search results (just like it does with other websites).
  2. Through product uploads – Stores can send their product details directly to Google using a tool called Google Merchant Center, so their items show up in places like Google Shopping or ads.

Google Shopping lets people compare prices from different stores in one place. If you’re selling, you can pay to have your products show up there.

For Shoppers:

  • You see prices side by side from many websites.
  • They help you find the best deal fast.

For Sellers:

  • Free listings: You can list products at no cost.
  • Paid ads: You pay to show up at the top or in more spots—costs depend on clicks (like Google Ads).

No, you don’t have to pay to have your products listed on Google Shopping. Google offers free product listings, allowing your items to appear in various places like the Shopping tab, Google Search, Google Images, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Lens without any cost .
