We want to make it as easy as possible for all retailers to join the program and are excited to be working with ChannelAdvisor to make this a reality," says Daniel Alegre, President Retail, Shopping and Payments.

With the addition of Shopping Actions support to ChannelAdvisor's suite of Google retail solutions, brands and retailers can now leverage the power of the ChannelAdvisor platform to list, manage, promote, and sell their products across Google's surfaces.

"We're thrilled to expand our strategic alliance with Google as they introduce their Shopping Actions program," says Paul Colucci, Vice President, Global Business Development, ChannelAdvisor.

E-commerce sellers of all types and sizes can benefit from Shopping Actions as a sales channel, and we're excited to get our clients up and running on it."

Jockey International, Inc. (Jockey), a 141-year-old brand recognized around the world for its premium underwear and apparel, recently worked with ChannelAdvisor to launch on Google Shopping Actions to help capture and retain customers.
