Merchant Center Dropshipping
Dropshipping requirements
Say how long it takes. Mean it.
Merchant Center will review a dropshipping store as a store. The requirements that matter are a business identity, shipping times you can keep, a return path, and products that are accurately branded. A general store with borrowed photos and a two-day badge is what fails. The model itself is not a hidden ban.
Requirements you can act on
- Handling time includes the supplier, not only your click on Fulfill.
- The shipping policy, the product page and Merchant Center show that range.
- Returns say the window, the method and any fee.
- Titles do not pretend a compatible item is the original brand.
- The homepage is one assortment, not every trending product on earth.
If you are already suspended, use the misrepresentation note for dropshipping. This page is for the store that still has a chance to be reviewed cleanly.
Questions people ask
Does Google ban dropshipping?
Google bans misleading offers. A disclosed, accurate dropship store is a normal review.
Can I use the supplier’s shipping time only in the FAQ?
No. The product page and the shipping settings are what shoppers and Google compare.
What catalog size is safe?
There is no magic count. There is a limit on new accounts, and there is a coherence test. Both get worse as the catalog gets wider and thinner.
