# Products Disapproved Due to Unavailable Page (500 Error)

> Learn how to identify and resolve the product page unavailable error caused by Google Merchant feed plugin instabilities.

This issue is common in Shopify stores that use plugins to manage the Google Merchant feed, such as **[Simprosys Google Shopping Feed](https://apps.shopify.com/google-shopping-feed)**. When the plugin experiences an instability (even for just a few seconds), product pages may return an **internal server error (500)** to Googlebot. When this happens, Google Merchant disapproves all affected products with the status **"Product page unavailable"**.

<Warning>
  Unlike other Merchant Center errors, this disapproval **does not fix itself
  automatically** after the plugin recovers. Google keeps the products
  disapproved until a new verification is manually requested or until the next
  scheduled crawl — which can take **days**. A brief instability of just a few
  seconds can leave all your products off Google Shopping for an extended
  period.
</Warning>

## Step 1: Identify if This Is the Case

Go to **Google Merchant Center** and navigate to the **Diagnostics > Item issues** tab. Check if there is a mass disapproval of the type **"Product page unavailable"** mentioning an **internal server error (500)**.

Manually test the URL of one of the affected products in your browser. If the page loads normally, it means the instability has already passed, but Google has not yet re-verified.

## Step 2: Request Site Verification

<Note>
  Before requesting verification, confirm that the product pages are already
  loading normally. If you request verification while the issue is still active,
  Google will find the same errors and you will have to wait **12 hours** before
  requesting again.
</Note>

In Google Merchant Center, access the disapproved product and click **"Request website verification"**. This verification is **global** — Google will re-verify all product pages at once, not just the selected product.

After requesting, wait up to **12 hours** for Google to process. Products should return to active status automatically once the verification is completed successfully.
