This is a review which should go to the creators of this app and also to Google Merchant support and Google Ads account. I have two online stores and when I installed the Google channel app, I saw my products approved for probably 10 minutes and then they were disapproved. The way it works is that I am not provided an exact problem, rather taken to a policy which states dozens of potential issues and I should go and figure out which one exactly I am breaking per each product. It is impossible to work like that. I got also my both accounts suspended, one for misinterpretation, the other one for broken checkout experience. Why don't you warn before suspending and put a yellow banner on the top of the account stating what the issue is exactly and if not resolved after an x number of days, suspend an account? I have been waiting for days for the account to be reviewed, when reviewed, I am getting nearly the same message and I am in a vicious circle not able to resolve the issue and make the website searchable in Google. Disappointing to say the least!
