Google Merchant Centre sets 18 August deadline for Merchant API migration
VIVEK GUPTA has flagged that Google has announced 18 August 2026 as the final date for migrating Google Merchant Centre integrations to the Merchant API. The Merchant API is becoming the future direction for product data management and integrations within Google's ecosystem, replacing the legacy Content API workflow.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means that engineering and feed management teams should plan the Merchant API migration well before the August deadline to avoid disruption to product data flows. Particularly relevant for agencies and retailers running custom feed integrations that still rely on the legacy API.
