Google & YouTube

I've been stuck for 2 weeks on "Checking your site claim" after linking Google Merchant Centre account with this app. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same thing just gets stuck on checking site claim. Also the content API doesn't seem to work as a primary feed, I am having to use a separate Google Sheets to even get the products to show up in the GMC dash.

I would like to know why Google is all of a sudden claiming misrepresentation on so many including us. What is going on? Why are suspended? Why should I continue to do business with Google at all?

Useless google app, only problems and suspended account for no reason. GOOGLE SUPPORT IS JUST USELESS WE DO NOT RECOMMEND

It doesn't work.

*Updated* After a week of screwing with it I gave up
NOT FOR BEGINNERS. Requires an understanding of metafields on Shopify and potentially some HTML and CSS and Google, frankly, isn't worth it. Most of the issues I had were with Google, not this app specifically, but there were still some frustrating bugs. 1. You need an understanding of meta fields, what they are and how to edit them, which is somewhat hidden in Shopify and even then they seem to be buggy (the dropdown menus don't populate) . Google also makes it extra difficult by requiring A TON OF THEM and putting the only comprehensive list of product categories in a csv that you have to download, and making some of the values for the metafields dropdown lists that don't populate. It would've made a lot more sense if I had read this post first: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Apps/Populating-Fields-for-the-Google-Shopping-App/td-p/338281 2. Google is not very clear about where they want contact information visible on the site and their support staff and docs are inconsistent about what is acceptable. Going back and forth with them half a dozen times I got half a dozen different answers. Ultimately, I had to learn how customize the contact.liquid template to add the contact info google wanted in HTML without having it above the contact form I would prefer people use. 3. Google is both incredibly slow and opaque when it comes to approving products and not suspending the merchant account. From the merchant account. I finally gave up when they told me I needed to verify my phone number and the instructions they sent me to do that took me to a page showing that my phone number has been verified for almost a month. Having done content creation for another store for a few years, I never once saw google shopping make a single sale, while Ebay and Etsy sold $20-$40k/month. If it were a quick and easy setup process, maybe it would be worth it. In my case I have a lot of unique and one-off items so it's absolutely not worth the time.

very bad app , very confusing and hard to understand , low ROI , Consider using different ad platforms

We tried this app even with the one star reviews it received. It wouldn't connect to our Google Account.

Worst possible setup. why make ecerything so confusing. and shopify, stop letting techies write your guides. they assume too mcuh. so frustrating and i will be leaving shopify post haste. what a fucking waste of time.

All products not synced with Google Merchant Center. Reached out to support more than a week ago and no replies till date. Sad to say that customer service seems to be non existent

THIS IS NOT A HIGHLY RECOMMEND APP ONE MINUTE ALL MY PRODUCTS WERE APPROVED AND BECAUSE OF ONE OR TWO PRODUCTS GOOGLE SUSPEND THE ENITRE ACCOUNT IF YOUR A DROPSHIPPER AND DONT KNOW HOW TO GET GTIN THIS APP IS NOT RECOMMED UNLESS YOU WANNA ALWAYS BE SUSPENDED. NO SUPPORT ALL THEY DO IS EMAIL NO LIVE PERSON TO GUIDE NOR VIDEO WITH INSTRUCTION WITH CONS AND PROS FOR DIFFERENT SHOPIFY SELLERS. THIS APP THE WORST THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE LUCK TO SEE GOOGLE CHANNEL MADE CHANGES. IF CHANGES MADE IT WAS NEVER FOR BETTER ALWAYS WORST
