What you can do

Export your Growave product reviews to Google Merchant Center via a daily XML feed, so verified buyer ratings appear on your Shopping listings automatically.

Automatic XML review feed

Growave generates a daily XML feed in Google's required format, containing all your published product reviews. Just paste the link into Merchant Center and set it to fetch daily.

GTIN and MPN matching

Growave includes GTIN and MPN identifiers in the feed so Google can accurately match reviews to the right products. Both are configurable from the Growave integrations panel.

No manual exports

The feed updates automatically once per day. Any new reviews published in Growave are included in the next feed regeneration without any action needed on your end.

Star ratings in search results

Once approved by Google, your product listings in Google Shopping can display star ratings and review counts, giving shoppers social proof at the exact moment they are deciding where to buy.

Frequently asked questions

How many reviews do I need before I can apply?

Google requires a minimum of 50 product reviews across your catalog before they will approve you for the Product Ratings program. At least 3 reviews per individual product is also recommended for consistent visibility.

Do I need to apply to Google separately?

Yes. You need to submit a Product Ratings Interest Form in Google Merchant Center before you can add a review feed. Once approved (usually 1 to 2 business days), you can submit your Growave XML feed link.

Why does Google show an "Authentication failed" error after I add the feed?

This is normal. The Growave XML feed regenerates once per day, so if you just enabled the integration or changed settings, wait up to 24 hours for the file to generate. No username or password is required.

How long until star ratings appear on my listings?

After submitting the feed, Google reviews it for quality and policy compliance. If everything checks out, ratings typically start appearing in Google Shopping within 1 to 4 weeks.
