App is inaccurate and confusing. Google support told me this app automatically adds GA tracking code, but in that case how do we prevent double reporting with our Tag Manager, which we need for other scripts? They were unsure. Google support also doesn't seem to understand that ShopifyPlus users no longer have any access to our checkout code. There is also a warning about "mistakenly added tags" but trying to fix it is very complex, and so far ineffective.

In addition, The Google Merchant Center widget says we have 0 products / 0 approved when in fact we have 100s of live products listed there.

The only "Suggestion" from the app? Increase spend. gee thanks.

Over the past few months, I have been extremely frustrated with the app. Despite selecting manual product sync, it continues to push products to Google Merchant Center, which is negatively impacting our performance marketing. I request you to please fix this issue at the earliest.

Products are in Merchant Center but shows "0 products" in the Shopify app sales channel. Products then randomly drop out of Merchant Center into the void, not showing up in "Needs Attention" and with no history of what products are gone or what happened. The AI chatbot pretends to be helpful, knows nothing and displays over the buttons it tells you to push. I'll just count Merchant Center out of my business plan because this is literally the worst-engineered app I have ever had the displeasure of needing to use.

After complaining a year ago, this app is still incredibly glitchy and does not appear to be syncing correctly with the Google Merchant Centre (GMC). I still have old products showing up on GMC - and subsequently Google pages - despite me archiving them in my Shopify backend and removing them on the GMC...only for them to reappear on GMC. Now my new products aren't syncing correctly to GMC and I can't re-verify my website...nonsensical behaviour again so have had to reach out to Google Support...again. If I could give -10/10 for this app I would.

I've been having the same problems as the previous Shopify merchants. My account is suspended for misrepresentation. However, I fix the so-called errors and the account is still suspended. The assistance is sub-par, only offering automated responses. I will be deleting this app as it is frustrating to use and non productive.

Using this app, data does not go completely to the Google Merchant Center account; data from the website to the Google Merchant Center account is mismatched.

Everything was explained clearly, but the account was still locked. Some websites wouldn't even load but were still approved and running on Google Shopping. The service is terrible, with no one to support or resolve the issue. Does anyone have any other advertising solutions besides this awful one?

Advertising with you using google merchant center is sucks!.

I am writing this message out of extreme frustration and exhaustion after years of trying to work with Google Merchant Center and Google Ads.

After more than four years on your platform, and after managing many Merchant Center accounts, I have reached the point where I no longer trust the misrepresentation system. Accounts are approved and then suddenly disapproved. Misrepresentation issues are reported without clear reasons, and Google Ads accounts are suspended even when nothing meaningful has changed.

I have spent hundreds of hours reviewing policies, fixing feeds, adjusting websites, submitting reviews, and waiting days or weeks for responses—only to receive the same vague misrepresentation notice again. There is never a clear explanation of what is actually wrong, which makes it impossible to resolve issues with confidence.

What makes this situation even more stressful is seeing other websites (as amazon) with obvious issues continue advertising without interruption. Even large platforms with clear policy inconsistencies remain approved, while smaller advertisers are repeatedly flagged without clear justification. This creates a strong impression that the system is inconsistent and unreliable.

At this stage, I am mentally and operationally exhausted. The repeated cycle of approval, disapproval, suspension, review, and waiting has caused significant time loss, financial impact, and wasted effort. Running a business under these conditions is not realistic.

I am confident that the products added to this Merchant Center account are legitimate and accurately represented. However, I no longer want to continue fighting an unclear system that repeatedly suspends accounts without providing actionable feedback.

I am not asking for another review of this account. This message reflects genuine frustration from long-term use of your system and the impact it has had on my work.

Other businesses are generating millions through Facebook and TikTok ads, while others are stuck repeatedly fixing Merchant Center misrepresentation issues.

My conclusion: advertising through Google Merchant Center is sucks, impractical and unreliable.

I know this message will be reviewed by one of your junior team members who managing ours merchnat center accounts!, but it should be escalated to senior management. This feedback is from an experienced professional, not a young or inexperienced advertiser. I am a 40-year-old computer engineer with extensive professional experience and multiple certifications in digital marketing, business, cloud technologies, and project management.

I’m extremely disappointed with this app. For a full year, I’ve been stuck in a loop of suspension and generic “Misrepresentation” messages. The app offers no real insight, no manual review, and no actual help. It just keeps generating the same template messages over and over. I’ve fixed everything on my store, followed every policy, and still no progress. If you expect real support or human review, this app won’t give it to you. Totally unhelpful and incredibly frustrating.

Zero Stars for this app! I have been talking to google support person, Kate for weeks now and my account has been suspended because I changed my url domain name. my store has been online for over a year and all they say they need is my drivers license for verification. I have taken the pictures at least 5-6 times and sent to Kate for review, Finally she said this one will do and get approved. Then I look and there is all of these other issues and she said that they will disappear after I am accepted again. Immediately after submitting my drivers license upon Kate's approval I am denied again. This app is a bunch of crap and will get your store kicked off of google and as far as I'm concerned google is nothing but a headache and LIES! They LIE TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING! Good luck with your store, because over a year and endless hours of hard work and no sleep has gone gone the drain. My store is over because of google.
