Where the workflow shifted
Merchant Center product data includes fields such as title, price, availability, link, image, brand, and identifiers.
Recommendations, email, offers, and remarketing should use the same product facts so unavailable or mispriced items are not promoted.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it clarifies the buying path, not when it adds another isolated commerce feature.
Check permissions and failure
- Check whether priority products have stable titles, prices, availability, images, brands, links, and target markets
- Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work
What still needs proof
Incomplete product data makes AI recommend the wrong product to the right customer. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
