App doesn't work, I put in my mobile as requested to authorise and it says an unknown error has occurred. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times with the same outcome. The help link goes to a generic Google help site with no specific information on what is actually going wrong.

We hope to hear from you soon
There is no option for Croatia country. Why is that?
Hi, I'm sorry you were not happy with the app missing Croatia as a selection. Unfortunately the app only supports countries that Google Merchant Center supports ads for, and Croatia has not been enabled there.
I am coming from using Magento for many years and I have never needed YouTube to get Google Analytics working.
However, here on Shopify with this app it is impossible to set up Google Analytics without YouTube.
Anyway, I have created my "Brand Account (limited to YouTube)" as they call it now (see the note at the top of https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7001996), but during the integration when it is time to choose the brand account and selecting the one I did create for the business, it errors with:
`Whoops! You're using an account that can't go here.
Reference code: es=ABAdc_iIhvK2ZAUWDqjIpeVqHbBtzFtg77o3S-SuSVaYbkqCFX2hkzoGnFRJpqWCRvGTmmexXpLjulqXJ1j1Z_ya7eArOENnYaIVsIECGEnUVdgDwqSXm5TKY-4vgJHAU5Quh6H2l9lK`
The reference code is alway random and the error itself is not immediately helpful at all.
I have spoken to the Shopify support people but they only suggest to check with Google. Google on the other hand it is impossible to contact as they always refer you to the community and can raise a question with the public.
I just needed Google Analytics set up...
Hi! Thanks for your feedback. You should not need to set up a YouTube Account if all you want to do is use Google Analytics. When you download the app, you can set up Google Analytics 4 during the onboarding and skip the additional programs. You won't need a YouTube Brand Account if you already have a Google Analytics account.

The Shopify shopping ribbon, which is intended to show products from my store in the description of my YouTube videos, did not work/appear on my latest YouTube video upload. It worked/appeared on legacy videos, but not on newly uploaded videos. When I contacted support about this, they couldn't tell me why this was happening, nor did they address my concern. They basically said "sometimes this feature will be available in videos, sometimes it won't be - it's random." If that's the case, this is not something I can direct my customers to use.
Suddenly my products disappeared and I cannot reach anyone from support. Very frustrating to say the least.

horrid app. I have it installed, everything is synced and connected, be it merchant center, analytics, google ads.
Everything should be good. Tag assistant says no Google tags are on my site.
So what's the point?
The least intuitive app I've come across so far. Confusing, creates errors, waists time. The worst part is that in order to get support from Google, one needs their Shopify Account ID, which is not readily available in their store, but requires a chat with Shopify support. Even they didn't know which ID to provide (multiple failed attempts inputting a "Shopify Account ID" value in the Google support request).
Very frustrating.
Hi
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry the Shopify ID was confusing, especially since this is required for our team to look up your account to help you through your issues. The quickest way to see your Shopify ID (example.myshopify.com) is in the URL of your Shopify admin page as soon as you log in. it will be the text after "store/" in the website address: https://admin.shopify.com/store/exampleShopifyIDhere. We will look into some improvements on our support form to better explain this as well. Thanks for your feedback.
The new Google Shopping app took all the controls away that you need to make if function correctly.
I love Shopify, but their shipping system absolutely stinks and isn't even close to accurate for my products. I ship some items regular UPS and others ship by semi-truck. I also ship from several different factories across the US, and Shopify can only handle live shipping from one location. I have to use an 3rd party app to help with shipping. So this app can handle the shipping, I have to tell Shopify that this isn't a physical product, so it doesn't need to be shipped. If I don't do this, Shopify would try to add Shipping on top of the shipping the app's charging. This works real good for my customers.
Problem is, the Shopify's Google Shopping App is telling Google that my product is FREE Shipping. Google Shopping is advertising to my potential customers that I'm giving them FREE Shipping, when it could be $675 or so. That's a pretty big shock, when they see FREE Shipping.........then Shipping for several hundred dollars.
The old version of Shopify's Google Shopping App gave you access to the shipping settings. The new version, doesn't even have any shipping settings. No settings for it at all. Just settings like color and ect. Nothing for Shipping.
Hi AccuBrass.com, thank you very much for this very detailed and excellent feedback! It is feedback like this that is invaluable for updates and suggested changes for our developers. Now luckily, we have had a few updates since the time of this post. For example, we have added multiple store locations which should aid your store - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/locations?utm_source=gurucopy&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=Gurus#undefined and we have also, updated the Google Shopping app since.
I will be emailing you as well with extra information and you can reply to me there as well. Thank you very much!
Niall, Shopify Support.
Hope this review helps someone make a better decision when choosing how to sync to Google.
This app is meant for new small merchants just getting started or merchants not yet setup with Merchant Center or Ads.
Beware if you are an established merchant:
- This app will change all product ID's to XXXXX-XXXXX and make it incredibly difficult to run ad campaigns for certain products as you will need to match the ID to your SKU. Impossible if you have hundreds or thousands of SKUs.
- If you have approved products you will need to re-sync your catalog. This will cause all of your SKUs to go thorough the approval process again. In many cases you will need to wait weeks to get items approved again.
- If you use a shipping app like Boxify to set your shipping settings this app will not import settings outside of Shopify's shipping settings.
- If you have manually configured shipping settings on Merchant Center, all settings will be deleted every-time the app syncs.
- Google Shopping Fields will need to be set one item at a time as there is no excel upload feature that I could find.
There is no support for this app, they blame everything on google. I was told that google doesn't have a way for them to not overwrite the shipping settings... yet all the other apps on the marketplace are allowed to do this.
Developer Suggestion:
1) Don't send the shipping settings to Google, let users set their own shipping rules.
2) Send SKU# or add SKU# to item ID (ItemID-SKU) to allow better control on the Google ads side.
Conclusion:
This app works fine if you don't mind manual work. If you are busy and are trying to grow your business this app will slow you down. If you have a store with 100 items or less or not using a shipping app like Boxify then this app will probably work fine for you.
Issues like this makes us think that upgrading to Shopify Plus might not be worth it. To many apps needed to run a store, little to no support for free Shopify apps, or the apps are useless for larger growing merchants.
