Just login to the accounts you have and check if the products are there.

I copy-paste the exact product title but it does not appear. I checked this in shopping-com

I don't know how shopping.com is organized but for Google Shopping:
1. From admin run the feed generator.
2. You can set your Google Merchant account for upload using ftp, upload manual and fetch. So depends on how you set it up there are 3 different ways your products will find its way there.
3. After products are uploaded to Google Merchant account you can see the the list in there.
4. Whether they show or not in Google Shopping depends on Google and if you are running any ads with Google. I believe some years ago Google started to require that you run Google Ads for you products in order for them to show in Google Shopping but I could be wrong on this.

In any case it is still Google's decision whether to show any product or not and there are other factors in play like how accurate your product info is, if it matches what's on the site, landing page, etc.

I suggest you read requirements and process for each of these platforms to understand how they work. Simply uploading data to them doesn't mean they will show and even if everything is correct it may still take time for these products to show.

First I have nothing to do with XC as a company and XC platform as software. I am in no way affiliated with XC.


Google Analytics has nothing to do with Google Merchant or Google Ads. These are separate products. You upload products to Google Merchant and use Google Ads to promote them. Then you can use Google Analytics to gather data about visitors, sales, etc and analyze it so you can understand how your site performs, etc.


You can use Google Analytics without using Google Merchant or Google Ads. Same applies to the other services. They are independent from each other although you can connect them to share data.


From your posts it seems you thought XC is the magic bullet that does everything for you by just clicking on a button. That's not the case. And it is not the case with any other shopping cart software. You need to either know how to do some things yourself or hire someone who knows to do it for you.


Every platform has a way of getting, settings, outputting, using, etc information. You cannot expect they are all related and interchangeable. If you want to use any particular platform you need to know or learn how it works. It is as simple as that.


An finally - this is forum to get help and answers and anyone can contribute to it, it is run by volunteers. You may or may not get what you are hoping for here in the forum. If you need indefinite help or have questions about your XC account/license/etc post it directly to XC staff in your XC helpdesk account.
