Fix Broken Product Feed XML for Google Merchant and Marketplaces

Problem: Disapproved Feeds and Rejected Listings

Marketplaces and shopping channels enforce strict data schemas. If your supplier's export or store feed contains formatting errors, your entire product catalog can be rejected:

• Invalid XML Structure: Unescaped ampersands (&), unclosed tags, or malformed CDATA sections that crash XML parsers.
• Missing Required Identifiers: Google Merchant rejecting items due to missing or invalid gtin, mpn, or brand.
• Price and Currency Formatting: Comma decimals instead of dots (19,99 USD), missing currency codes, or gross/net confusion.
• Image URL Incompatibilities: HTTP links instead of HTTPS, query parameters that break crawlers, or spaces in image filenames.

How We Repair Your Feed

1. Schema Validation: We run your XML or CSV through rigorous validation engines matching the official specifications of Google Shopping, Facebook Catalog, Shopify, and Amazon.
2. Identifier Cleaning: We verify checksums for EAN/UPC/GTIN barcodes and separate products that require custom identifiers from those that do not.
3. Encoding & Entity Normalization: We convert encoding to strict UTF-8 and safely encode all special characters and HTML entities in titles and descriptions.
4. Actionable Audit Report: Every deliverable includes a concise summary of fixed syntax errors, deduplicated SKUs, and sanitized URLs.
