The Data Quality task in your onboarding plan confirms that all feed data meets data quality requirements.
To complete the Data Quality check in Sandbox milestone task in the Home tab of Actions Center, you need to successfully upload and deliver your Merchants, Services, and Availability Feeds to their respective SFTP dropboxes. The SFTP dropboxes are configured during your integration's Setup.
The data you provide to your Sandbox environment must be reflective of your Production inventory. The Sandbox or Production environment match your inventory against Maps. Your merchants must correspond to a real location that is known to Maps.
Data Quality task requirements
- Provide 25 or more merchants in your Merchant Feed.
- All merchants have a defined service.
- All services have 30 days of availability.
- Minimum of one Feed upload per day for seven days.
Confirm your data
To find the following dashboards and view tabs to review your integration, sign in to the Actions Center. To view the Actions Center, see Access issues.
Inventory
The Inventory Viewer lets you view your inventory collated at the merchant level. The view displays each merchant defined in your feeds and provides status details such as matched state and a 'RwG - E2E' link to the frontend (either Sandbox or Production, depending on the environment selected at the top menu).
When you click a merchant, the Summary view page loads with details specific to the integrations supported by the merchant.
To access how the data looks from the user's perspective, proceed with the following steps:
- Ensure that the environment switcher on the top is set to the correct environment.
- Go to Inventory > Inventory.
- Find a merchant that is either Ready or Live (in Sandbox) in the RwG - E2E column.
- Click the RwG - E2E link.
- If there is no merchant with status Ready or Live (in Sandbox), open a disabled merchant and make sure to fix all the issues listed at the bottom of the page. For example, make sure future availability is uploaded correctly if you see the error No upcoming availability listed. Common issues in feeds.
Google attempts to match your merchant data with Google Maps locations. Merchants with service and availability data are eligible to show on the Actions Center after the merchant data is associated with a Maps feature. For more information, see Merchant eligibility criteria.
To ensure the optimal user experience, the Actions Center attempts to correct matches. However, if there is insufficient information to match with the right maps listing, the Actions Center we are unable to match a merchant and therefore any associated inventory cannot surface on the frontend, see Merchant Matching Guidelines.

It also provides a 14-days trend of your inventory to track changes or issues in your Feed uploads.
