Buy on Google(formerly Google Shopping Actions) offers a great way for Shopify stores to expand sales on another channel.
To get onto Buy on Google with Shopify, here’s what you need to do:
1. List your Shopify products on Google Shopping
2. Handle Google Shopping Actions Order Management via API
While Buy on Google is similar to Google Shopping, the major difference is that the sale does not happen on your Shopify website, it actually happens through Google itself.
That also means you need to take care of the order, similar to how you would for Amazon. But how do you insert the order from Buy on Google into your Shopify store?
You could play around with the Buy on Google Order API and spend months in custom development, or you could use Feedonomics with its built-in capability to automatically insert Buy on Google orders into your Shopify store.
