why central exists

Bing disapprovals hit when the feed and the landing page disagree.

The Microsoft Advertising error you've seen before. Title over the 70-character cap. Missing Microsoft Shopping category. Image under the 1200×1200 recommended size. Promotional language in the title. Central catches the same checks Bing Merchant Center runs — in your record, before submission.

central fixes this

Catch every Bing rule before the feed leaves your record.

Title cap, promotional language, image resolution, Microsoft category mapping, MPN-or-GTIN coverage — all enforced in the canonical record, so the Microsoft Advertising diagnostics report stays empty.

Fix with Central
required attributes · scorecard

Every Bing field, filled and validated.

Microsoft Advertising's required attributes — plus the common recommended ones — checked against your verified record, with the source that backed each value and the readiness state per field.

Title length (70 ch cap), GTIN format, MPN coverage, image resolution, Microsoft Shopping category mapping, condition, availability — every check Bing Merchant Center runs at submission time, run first in Central.

What you control: identifiers, URLs, prices, stock, shipping, brand language. What Central drafts: titles inside Bing's 70-character cap, descriptions, highlights, attributes, buyer guidance.

how the feed gets built

Four steps from shop URL to approved Bing feed.

Same shape as the Microsoft Advertising submission flow — but every check runs in Central first, against the verified record, before Bing Merchant Center ever sees it.

1scan

Read what you already have.

Paste a shop URL, upload a CSV, or connect a catalog. Central maps your fields to Microsoft Advertising's expected attributes and shows which ones are filled and which are missing.

Same record. Every Microsoft shopping surface.

Frequently asked

Can Central publish to Microsoft / Bing Merchant Center?

+

Central prepares and publishes Microsoft / Bing Merchant Center output from verified product records. Platform review, account settings, and destination policies still apply — Microsoft Advertising approves the feed.

What about the 70-character title cap?

+

Bing Merchant Center caps product titles at 70 characters, versus Google's 150. Central drafts Bing-shaped titles inside that cap from verified facts — and surfaces character counts in the readiness scorecard before the feed exports. A single record can keep a longer Google title and a shorter Bing title side by side.

Does Central feed Bing Copilot's AI shopping answers?

+

Yes. Bing Copilot grounds shopping answers on structured product facts. The same verified record that powers the Bing Merchant feed — product highlights, structured product details, materials, dimensions, performance, compatibility — gives Copilot the AI-readable evidence it needs. Unsupported claims stay held so Copilot never repeats them.

MPN vs. GTIN — which does Bing require?

+

Microsoft Advertising requires at least one identifier: GTIN, MPN, or brand + product name. For most branded SKUs both GTIN and MPN should be present; for private-label products MPN is often the only identifier. Central validates the GS1 GTIN checksum, normalizes MPN formatting, and flags the record if neither is available so the feed never ships without an identifier.

How is Microsoft Shopping category mapping done?

+

Central maps each product to the Microsoft Shopping taxonomy (e.g. Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Cookware > Dutch Ovens). Where possible, the same canonical product type is mapped to both Microsoft and Google taxonomies, so one record covers both feeds. Mapping confidence is scored; low-confidence categories surface for review before export.

Can the same record support Google Merchant Center and Bing at once?

+

Yes. The verified product record is canonical; each channel adapts from it. Google MC gets the 150-character title and Google taxonomy; Bing MC gets the 70-character title and Microsoft taxonomy; identifiers, prices, stock, URLs, and structured details stay shared. You build the record once and ship to both feeds without rewriting facts.
