How to Clean Supplier Product Feed Column Headers
Map supplier field names to merchant-compatible attributes safely.
How to diagnose and repair the issue
- Inspect the original supplier columns
- Choose a destination schema before renaming
- Map known aliases such as sku to id and product_name to title
- Resolve duplicate aliases manually
- Export a copy and compare values by row
⚠ Before exporting
Supplier columns can have different meanings even when names look similar.
Check the fix
Keep an untouched copy of your source feed. Run the relevant check again, inspect flagged rows and compare a small sample with your store catalog. Merchant Center may apply additional requirements by country, product category and destination.
For the definitive requirements, review Google's current product data specification and your own Merchant Center diagnostics.
