Why products without an image are rejected

What the error means

An image is required. Products with no image at all are rejected immediately.

Why Google rejects it

Shopping results are visual. An item with no image has nothing to show.

How to fix it

  1. Add at least one image per product, on a plain background, showing the product clearly.
  2. Avoid placeholder or "image coming soon" graphics — those are treated as promotional or misleading.
  3. Check that the image URL is publicly reachable, not behind a login or a hotlink block.
