The list

  • Every connection shows its Name, Data source, Type, Total Products, Last Sync Changes and Synced at - with Not Synced, Synchronizing..., Sync Failed or Error... when it is not up to date.
  • Manage opens Settings, Build, Remove Uploaded Products and Delete.

Remove Uploaded Products takes everything this connection sent out of Merchant Center again.

Most accounts do fine with a Google Shopping feed export fetched by Merchant Center; use the API connection when you need near-real-time updates of stock and prices.
