Solved: Actual Timestamp of `product_data_timestamp` in Me... - Page 2

We have configured multiple BQ data transfers from the Merchant Center (MC) transferring data from different MC accounts. We have noticed that `product_data_timestamp` is set to the exact same value for all the transferred data from all the MC accounts although they are not related and the transfers write data to different BQ tables.

The documentation says this is the "timestamp of the product data" but it could not be the time when the data was imported by the merchant center as the import schedules are different and it couldn't be a match to the millisecond.

Could you please explain what this timestamp exactly represents?

Thank you!

Even with separate Merchant Center accounts, This product_data_timestamp is decoupled from your individual import schedules because it reflects a broader Google-side process. So it's not a timestamp reflecting individual product data changes or import times. Instead, it is tied to a global account-level.

But if you have further questions about the behavior of the data, I suggest to contact Merchant Support.
