Pre-submission validation

Feature · Validate & monitor

Caught before it ships.

While errors are free.

Every compile runs the destination's rulebook over every SKU - required fields, formats, values. Problems surface inside GoDataFeed as errors and warnings, not inside Merchant Center as disapprovals.

The difference

Checked before submission vs. rejected after

Without GoDataFeed

  • The channel is the first thing to check your data
  • Errors arrive as disapprovals, with eligibility already lost
  • Each rejection burns a submission cycle to diagnose
  • Warnings never surface until placement suffers

With GoDataFeed

  • The feed is checked against the channel's rules first
  • Errors and warnings surface before anything ships
  • Fixes happen inside the platform, pre-submission
  • The channel receives data that already passes

How it works

Channel rulebook checks on every SKU, before publishing.

Benefits

Cheaper fixes

An error caught pre-submission never costs eligibility.

Fewer disapprovals

Channels receive data that already passed their rules.

Faster diagnosis

Problems point at fields, not at mystery rejections.

Continuous coverage

Every compile re-checks the whole feed.

Warning visibility

Quality issues surface before they cost placement.

Launch confidence

New channels go live pre-checked.

Capabilities

Channel-specific checks

Validation runs the destination's requirements - required fields, formats, accepted values - against every SKU in the compiled feed.

Errors and warnings, ranked

Hard failures that block products are separated from warnings that cost quality, so the fix order is obvious.

Every compile, covered

Checks run each time the feed compiles - new products and new data get the same scrutiny as the launch batch.

Pre-Submission Feed Validation | GoDataFeed

Run each channel's rulebook over every SKU before publishing - errors and warnings surface in-platform, not as channel disapprovals.

Pre-submission validation

Pre-submission validation is stage five

of six.

Catch errors while they're free.

Every feature works from the same catalog. Every upstream stage builds the feed; this stage checks it before a channel can reject it.

Questions

Feature · Validate & monitor

What does validation check?

The destination channel's requirements - required fields, data formats and accepted values - across every SKU in the compiled feed.

When does it run?

On every feed compile, so validation keeps pace with catalog changes instead of checking once at setup.

What's the difference between an error and a warning?

Errors block products from submitting successfully; warnings flag quality issues that can cost performance. Both are listed for fixing.
