Does this tool connect to my Merchant Center account?
No. It matches text locally in your browser against a maintained set of common product-data and crawl messages. It cannot see account status, products, policy history, or final attributes.

The checker recognizes common product-data, crawl, price, availability, image, and apparel-attribute messages. It does not connect to your Merchant Center account.
What it recognizes
From exact error to the right first check
The rule set currently covers 13 common error families. It keeps product-data, landing-page, and destination-setting problems separate so a merchant does not edit the wrong system first.

Diagnostic boundaries
It does not access Merchant Center, Shopify, products, diagnostics, or account history.
A text match does not prove the root cause; compare final attributes and the exact Shopify variant.
Account-policy suspensions, taxes, market rules, and destination-specific requirements need their own official review.
Merchant Center remains the authority for whether an issue is resolved after reprocessing.
Merchant Center error checker questions
What should I paste into the checker?
Paste the exact issue title and attribute from Merchant Center's Needs attention view. Remove product IDs, account IDs, email addresses, customer data, and any unrelated account information first.
Can it fix my Shopify products automatically?
No. The tool is diagnostic and read-only. It points to likely Shopify or Merchant Center locations and gives verification steps, but the merchant remains responsible for reviewing and applying accurate changes.
Does following the action plan guarantee approval?
No. Merchant Center remains the authority for item and account diagnostics. A mapped fix can reduce a known data problem but cannot guarantee approval, placement, rankings, traffic, or revenue.
