When setting up your social platforms, you might wish to use the Flexify for Facebook Stand-alone feed for Google. However, it's crucial to note that while you can use the Stand-alone feed on Google, it should only act as a single and primary data source. This means if you've installed the Google sales channel, you cannot use both the Flexify for Facebook feed and the Google Sales Channel feed simultaneously as the main data sources for your GMC. Attempting to do so will lead to the duplication of items within your GMC.
To ensure a smooth workflow, we highly recommend using the Google Sales Channel (GSC) as your primary data feed for GMC. In addition, we suggest using our specially designed app, Flexify for Google. This app is designed to work flawlessly with the Google sales channel and ensures your supplementary product feed fully aligns with the Google Merchant Center requirements.
You can find and download the Flexify for Google app via the following link:

We are currently offering a lifetime voucher discount for the Flexify for Google app. Do not hesitate to reach out to us if you require assistance setting it up or have any inquiries about this offering.
Alternatively, if you prefer using the Flexify for Facebook Stand-alone feed as a main data source on your Google, please be aware that we can not target different platforms (Facebook, Google, Bing, etc.) differently, as we are only generating one main feed. In this case, once your Product Feed URL is created, you can submit it to your Google Merchant account.
Just a couple of steps are needed:
- Log into your Merchant Center account
- Select Products from the navigation menu, then click Feeds
- Press the blue ➕ icon to add your (Stand-alone mode) Flexify feed as a Primary feed
- Fill in the Basic information
- Name your feed and select Scheduled fetch
- Select the Fetch frequency (it can be scheduled from Daily to Monthly) and set up the Fetch time at least 15 minutes later than the last created update of the feed (check your Flexify Overview page).
- Copy/Paste your Feed URL and leave the Username/Password fields empty
- Click Fetch now to trigger an immediate fetch from the URL specified
- You can also add your localization feeds as Supplemental feeds as well
