Product-data guidance · ChatGPT shopping

If your storefront tells two stories, ChatGPT may find both.

A visible price can disagree with the product data behind the page. Our free check captures that public conflict before you spend time changing a private feed or checkout system.

Public pages only. Our public check cannot confirm private settings, eligibility, activation, placement, approval, or sales.

Across your store and sales channelsWhat happens when your product details stop matching?

A different price can disrupt a purchase, incorrect stock can hide an available product, and a mismatched code or size can give shoppers the wrong information.

Check the layer your business controls

Check the public-store problems that remain outside the product file.

A reliable product file improves control of product data. Reachable pages, matching facts, and clear merchant policies still need their own checks.

Search access

We check whether sampled product pages can be reached and whether relevant search crawler controls create an obvious access barrier.

Product facts shoppers compare

Titles, descriptions, price, availability, product codes, images, and options should be clear enough to compare without unsupported inference.

Visible and built-in details

We compare what shoppers see with product information built into the page and flag conflicting price, stock, or identity details.

Current ChatGPT pathway

Product discovery, paid ads, and direct purchase are different paths.

Current OpenAI guidance separates organic shopping results from ads and keeps product selection independent. A readiness page should make those boundaries clear.

01

Shopify merchants already have a catalog route

Shopify product data is connected through Shopify Catalog, so an individual Shopify merchant does not need another feed integration merely for that connection.

02

Other merchants may use product feeds

A product file can improve titles, descriptions, URLs, brand, price, availability, seller, policy, and regional data when the source catalog is reliable.

03

Selection remains independent

Passing a scan or providing a feed does not require OpenAI to display a product, place it in a result, or support a direct-purchase flow.

Good fit

Use this guidance when

  • You want to confirm public product-page and policy readiness before feed or channel work.
  • Your public pages may contain incomplete or stale product facts, or appear to disagree with a shopping result.
  • You need to determine whether the blocker is the site, product file, or commerce pathway.
Important limit

What this ChatGPT scan cannot prove

A public Site Scanner preview cannot certify product inclusion, ranking, merchant or feed acceptance, ad eligibility, direct checkout access, or sales. It also cannot inspect private merchant onboarding or product-feed account state.
