I think all of us are having issues with Google Merchant Center.
I’ve received the same suspension over the very same reasons.
The links in the header and footer for such things as:
Contact information (at least a phone or email)
Secure Checkout (https:#)
Refund and Return policy
Billing Terms and conditions
The links in the current header and footer of our shops are not reflecting our shop’s URLs but
Spreadshirt’s url (https://www.spreadshirt.com/) for those links concerning those policies such as “returns and refunds” and they are stating that the 3rd party url’s are not allowed as per Google Merchant
Center’s policy.
Example:
Current link for refund and returns in the footer are under “HELP”
https://service.spreadshirt.com/hc/en-us/?shop_name=luckycontestant&shop_id=100124654&platform=na
*On that page is a direct link to refunds and returns
https://service.spreadshirt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000984869
What Google Merchant Center is requesting that the link is not transparent enough and should
state clearly “Returns and Refunds”, “Billing Terms and Conditions”, “Contact Information” policy on the header and footer and the links should use our shop’s url.
Note from GMC:**The link to the Return and Refund policy needs to be on the header/footer of your website so that it is clearly visible to the customers.
Is there a way under “SHOP SETTINGS” > “ADVANCE” we can add the html header and footer the links Google Merchant Center is requesting? Or does this need to be fixed on your end.
