But the place where shoppers ask the most direct questions is your own website. “Is this in stock in medium?” “Does it ship to Canada?” “What is the difference between these two models?” If your assistant or chat answers from a stale copy of the catalog, you have created one more inconsistent channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cleaner design is to have the assistant read the same catalog your feeds do. That is how Konvuno works: product catalogs sync automatically from WooCommerce or any Google Merchant or Facebook product feed, so answers about products, prices and availability stay current without retyping anything.

They carry products, prices and stock to Google automatically. Add other channels through feeds that read from the same catalog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"how-often-should-product-data-sync\" tabindex=\"-1\">How often should product data sync?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>As often as the data changes. Stock and price on a busy store justify daily or faster updates, while descriptions can sync less often. Google suggests scheduled uploads or its APIs and, for frequent price changes, the Inventory API.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"do-i-need-a-pim-to-keep-product-data-consistent\" tabindex=\"-1\">Do I need a PIM to keep product data consistent?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Not at the start. A small business can manage with its store platform and a clear ownership sheet, as long as each fact has one authoritative source and an owner. A PIM becomes worth considering with many SKUs, many suppliers or many marketplaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"why-do-my-google-merchant-center-items-keep-getting-disapproved-for-price\" tabindex=\"-1\">Why do my Google Merchant Center items keep getting disapproved for price?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The usual cause is a mismatch between the feed and the landing page, often because the site changed before the feed refreshed. Update both together, shorten the fetch interval, and check the item status in Merchant Center. If a Shopify sync is stuck, toggling the channel off and on can help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"can-a-website-chatbot-use-the-same-product-feed\" tabindex=\"-1\">Can a website chatbot use the same product feed?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Yes.
