About Google Shop
The Odoo Google Shopping Feed Module is intended to enable you to create product feeds on Odoo with your Google Merchant Center, allowing you to send product information from Odoo to your Google Merchant account.
Additionally, map the Odoo Product fields to the Google fields in order on the product price, description, and so on to appear correctly on Google Shopping. Originally, the service listed merchant-submitted prices and was monetized through AdWords advertising, similar to other Google services. Nevertheless, Google announced in late 2012 that the service would transition to a paid model in which merchants would have to pay the company to list their products on the service.

Why Google Shop ??
Are you running an online web store where you are allowing your customers to search on products that you sell? If yes, you can use Google Shop to advertise your entire product catalog on the google shop where you have installed the Google Shop and add your odoo products to the Google Shop.
Suppose that we are having an online store of “Dresses” and we want our products to come on Google Searching. It will surely be a time-consuming process as one has to manage its products on his online store as well as on Google Shop. But, if we make use of the Google Shop and put all of our products in the Google shop Addons it would on sure be that the Dresses will be sent to the google shop. This reduces the time to sync the products to the google shop.
What is Google Merchant Account?

Once you have set up your advertisement strategy using Google Adwords and other platforms, this data is then rendered as feeds and automatically picked by Google.
It is appropriately displayed as ads feed to the customers in accordance with their intent, behavior on the internet and search queries.
