This article explains the requirements of product identifiers such as Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) on e-commerce platforms.
Product Identifiers on E-commerce Platforms
Some e-commerce platforms and online marketplaces, such as Amazon and Google, may require specific product identifiers for the products you sell. These identifiers typically include:
Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
Manufacturer Part Number (MPN)
If you're offering Gelato products, you might not be able to provide these identifiers. In such cases, it's recommended to remove these attributes from your product feed and include an attribute for "identifier_exists" with a value of "FALSE" for all listed products.
GTIN Exemption

You can usually find this information on their website, Help Center, or by contacting their Customer Support.
