Connect to Google
Configure the SFTP connection between B2C Commerce and Google to allow product feed uploads.
Before you begin, ensure that:
- The Google Feed SFTP Upload feature switch is turned on.
- You have the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) credentials that you retrieve from Google Merchant Center.
The SFTP connection allows B2C Commerce to securely upload your product feed to Google's infrastructure. Once connected, the system stores the credentials securely in the B2C Commerce keystore, and you can reuse them across multiple sites in your realm.
You enter SFTP credentials in the SFTP Configuration section of the General Settings tab. For the rest of the General Settings configuration, see Configure General Settings for the Google Product Feed.

, and then select .
The Google configuration page opens. -
On the General Settings tab, in the SFTP
Configuration section, enter your SFTP credentials:
- For SFTP Username, enter your Google SFTP username.
- For SFTP Password, enter your Google SFTP password.
-
Click Connect.
Business Manager validates the credentials by attempting to connect to the SFTP server. If the credentials are invalid, the system displays an error message and you can correct them before proceeding. If successful, the status changes to Connected and the system stores the credentials securely. The SFTP Username and SFTP Password fields are disabled to prevent accidental modifications.
Your B2C Commerce site is now connected to Google. The system stores the credentials
securely with the ID google-sftp-<site>, where
<site> is the site name with spaces replaced by hyphens (for
example, google-sftp-NTO-Outfitters).
To change your SFTP credentials after connecting, you must first disconnect and then reconnect with the new credentials.
- Turn on the daily feed sync to start uploading your product feed.
- Configure field mappings to customize how the system sends your product data to Google.
Disconnect from Google: To disconnect from the Google integration, on the General Settings tab, in the SFTP Configuration section, click Disconnect. When you disconnect:
- The system removes the Google channel configuration.
- The system deletes the stored SFTP credentials from the keystore.
- The Enable Daily Feed Sync toggle is automatically turned off.
- Your field mapping data is preserved and is available when you reconnect.
