What is a product feed checker?

These groups reflect the current production parser and ruleset—not a future feature list.
Titles and descriptions
Missing or very short titles and descriptions, using documented minimum-length rules.

Category coverage
Missing category, product_type or google_product_category values.
File integrity
Safe fetching, content limits, XML/CSV parsing, encoding diagnostics and product-count limits.

What the scanner does—and does not do
METHODOLOGY & SOURCES
Deterministic checks, documented limits
Product Feed Scan parses public XML and CSV feeds incrementally, applies versioned rules to supported fields and groups failures by impact. It does not predict platform policy decisions, modify feeds or guarantee channel approval.

Questions about this guide
Is the product feed checker free?+
The initial scan is free and returns a score, catalog size, the three highest-priority findings and bounded passed-check highlights. The complete private report costs €19 once per feed.
Does Product Feed Scan modify my feed?+
No. It diagnoses the public source and never writes back to your store, feed generator or shopping account.
Do I need Merchant Center access?+
No. The scanner reads a public feed URL and does not request access to Merchant Center or your ecommerce administration.
What feed formats are supported?+
Public XML and CSV URLs are supported. Direct file upload, native spreadsheets and authenticated feed URLs are not supported.
How large can the feed be?+
Transfer and decompressed data are each limited to 200 MiB. The product limit is 100,000. Large feeds are streamed rather than retained as one in-memory catalog.
Can I check Shopify, WooCommerce or PrestaShop feeds?+
Yes, when the store or feed tool exposes the catalog as a public XML or CSV URL using recognizable product fields. Product Feed Scan does not install a store plugin or connect to an admin account.
