How to indicate the availability of my products on Google Shopping?
Including an item in the feed and reporting its availability to Google are separate settings. Exclusions are under Product exclusion rules; the reported value is controlled in Feed data options → Product availability.
When you choose stock-aware mode, the availability sent depends on the product data:
- positive quantity:
in stock; - zero or negative quantity, out-of-stock ordering allowed and an availability date populated:
backorderwithavailability_date; permission can come from the product or the inherited global setting; - otherwise:
out of stock.
The “always available” option forces availability and must match the actual offer. Do not use it to mark a genuinely unavailable item as in stock. Check the date, variant, XML and product page. To choose which items to include in the feed, see out-of-stock export settings.
For detailed requirements: Official Google documentation.
