From 31 January 2027, Google Merchant Center requires product images (image_link and additional_image_link) of at
least 500x500 pixels in every product category and marketing method. Smaller images are disapproved; some are upscaled
automatically with a warning in Needs attention. Merchant Center already warns "Image too small for upcoming
enforcement". (Source: Merchant Center product data specification update.)
This Actor checks whole Shopify stores in bulk — your own, your clients', or prospects' — through each store's public
products.json, and lists every product image that is too small, with the product handle, title, image URL and size.
Built for Shopify agencies and freelancers (audit client stores, find stores that need image work), feed managers and merchants who want the list before Merchant Center starts disapproving products.
Input
{ "storeUrls": ["https://www.example-store.com", "another-store.myshopify.com"], "maxPagesPerStore": 10 }
Output (one item per store)
{"store": "https://www.kettleandfire.com","status": "at-risk","productsChecked": 97,"imagesChecked": 441,"imagesUnder500": 16,"productsAffected": 13,"smallImages": [{"handle": "...", "title": "...", "src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/...", "width": 480, "height": 480}],"action": "Upload images of at least 500x500 px for these products..."}
(Real counts from a check on 27 Oct 2026.)
Pricing
Pay per store checked. Stores that can't be read (not Shopify, products.json disabled, rate-limited) are free.
Good to know
- Requests are paced (Shopify rate-limits bursts); one store is checked at a time, 250 products per request.
- Images without width/height in products.json are skipped.
- This covers the size rule only; Merchant Center also has rules on watermarks, text overlays and placeholders.
