I'm launching a digital-only Shopify store selling downloadable products. The single measure of success is that the product catalogue passes Google Merchant Center review on the first submission — every design decision, policy page, structured data attribute, and feed configuration exists to serve that outcome. Scope GMC-ready catalogue & compliance layer — This is the centrepiece. Configure the product feed with every required and recommended attribute for digital goods (availability, condition, identifier flags, shipping overrides, etc.). Implement compliant structured data on product pages. Draft and publish all policy pages GMC checks — refund/return policy that accounts for digital delivery, privacy policy, terms of service, and clear "about" information — so there are zero policy-related disapprovals. Theme & storefront — A clean, responsive Shopify theme customised for digital-only sales: no shipping fields or physical-product references anywhere in the checkout flow, prominent "instant download" messaging, and visible trust signals that GMC's review bot and human reviewers expect to see (contact details, business address, policy links in the footer). Payments & tax — Standard payment gateways configured for Australia, correct tax settings for digital goods, and automated order emails with clear download instructions. Final sign-off — A test purchase confirms end-to-end delivery and the GMC dashboard shows the catalogue approved or submitted and processing without errors. Requirements Proven experience building digital-only Shopify stores. This is not a physical-goods store with shipping turned off — we need someone who understands the nuances of selling downloadable products on Shopify from the ground up. Demonstrated GMC approval track record. You must have successfully submitted and received Google Merchant Center approval for digital product catalogues before. If you can share examples or outline the specific disapproval triggers you've navigated in past projects, that carries significant weight. GMC approval is the priority. Everything else in this build is in service of a clean, first-pass approval. How to apply Start your response with the phrase "GMC-DIGITAL-2026" so I know you've read the full brief. Proposals that don't include this will be skipped. Walk me through your approach — specifically how you handle the feed attributes and policy requirements that trip up most digital-goods stores — and give me a realistic timeline.

GMC-DIGITAL-2026 Hi, hope you're doing well! I'd love to help you launch this Shopify store with a clean first-pass GMC approval for digital goods. Here's my approach: Feed & structured data: All required attributes configured correctly for digital goods including availability, condition, identifier exists flags, and shipping overrides. Schema markup on every product page. Policy pages: Compliant refund, privacy, ToS, and about pages written specifically for digital delivery — the exact pages GMC flags most often. Storefront: Clean theme stripped of all physical-product references, instant download messaging, and trust signals GMC reviewers expect. End-to-end test: A live test purchase confirming delivery before final GMC submission. Three questions before I scope the timeline: 1. How many products are in the catalogue at launch? 2. Do you have existing branding or copy, or does that need creating too? 3. Is your business already registered in Australia with an address ready for GMC verification? Realistic timeline: 7 to 10 days depending on catalogue size and content readiness. Looking forward to getting this approved first try! Azeem Amin

"GMC-DIGITAL-2026" I understand that the real goal here is not just building a Shopify store; it’s getting a digital-product catalogue through Google Merchant Center cleanly on the first review. The biggest issues I usually see with digital-only stores are missing policy clarity, inconsistent structured data, physical-product signals left inside the theme/checkout flow, incomplete feed attributes, and unclear business trust signals. My approach is to build the store around GMC compliance first, then design the storefront around that structure. I can configure the product feed properly for digital goods, implement compliant schema markup, remove unnecessary shipping logic, set up the required policy pages, and ensure the storefront clearly communicates instant digital delivery. I’ll also run a full test order flow and GMC pre-check before submission. Best regards, Singh

I've built digital-only Shopify stores that passed GMC review on first submission — the key is getting the feed attributes and policy pages right before you ever hit "submit." Here's my approach for your store: Product feed: I'll configure every required attribute for digital goods — availability, condition set to "new," identifier_exists=false, shipping overrides disabled, and the google_product_category mapped correctly for downloadable products. The feed will use Shopify's native Google channel or a Matrixify/DataFeedWatch setup depending on catalogue size. Structured data: JSON-LD Product markup on every product page with the exact fields GMC's bot validates — name, description, price, availability, and image. No shipping references anywhere in the checkout flow. Policy pages: I'll draft GMC-compliant refund/return, privacy, ToS, and about pages that explicitly address digital delivery. These are where most digital-goods stores get disapproved. Theme: Clean, responsive Shopify theme stripped of any physical-product references — no shipping fields, prominent "instant download" messaging, trust signals (contact info, business address, policy links) in the footer. Payments + tax: Australian payment gateways configured with correct tax settings for digital goods. Final step: end-to-end test purchase confirming download delivery, then GMC submission. 10-day timeline.

GMC-DIGITAL-2026 Hi I can build your digital-only Shopify store with the main focus on Google Merchant Center compliance, product feed accuracy, structured data, policy pages, payment setup, tax configuration, and instant download delivery. The main technical challenge is avoiding GMC disapprovals caused by missing digital-product attributes, unclear refund policies, physical-shipping language, weak business transparency, or inconsistent product page/feed data. I can configure the catalogue with correct availability, condition, identifier handling, product categories, shipping overrides, tax settings, downloadable-product messaging, and clean product schema on each page. I can also create compliant refund/return, privacy, terms, about, contact, business details, and footer trust sections so both automated and manual GMC review checks are covered. The Shopify theme will be customized for digital sales only, with no confusing physical-product language and clear “instant download” guidance from product page through order confirmation. I can run a test purchase, verify automated delivery emails, review Merchant Center diagnostics, and clean up feed warnings before final submission. My focus will be a first-pass GMC-ready store where every storefront, checkout, policy, and feed decision supports approval. Thanks, Hercules
