Google & YouTube

Hi,

We are getting error while integrating Google anlytics GA4 property with Shopify. The admin access of the Google ads, Google Analytics is with same email id.

App was easy enough to set up - but once completed the 'customer events' app pixel still says 'disconnected' when every part of the app set up has been complete and they all say 'connected' because of this we went 12 hours with no data running from our store to Google ads/analytics etc.

No explanation or help on how to get the app pixel to 'connect'

Finora esperienza molto deludente con Google Merchant Center & Google Ads: dopo aver perso molto tempo a impostare i dati richiesti dal Merchant Center e da Google Ads (tramite un sistema poco intuitivo e tutt'altro che user friendly), Google mantiene bloccata la pubblicazione dei prodotti ogni volta rilevando nuovi errori o mancanze di dati che non venivano segnalate precedentemente. Spesso risulta difficile capire come intervenire per risolvere, in quanto l'errore non viene specificato ma viene descritto in maniera molto generica. Anche apportando le integrazioni richieste e dopo aver ricevuto le loro email di conferma della risoluzione del problema, continuano a bloccare l'account. Tra i diversi errori, ad esempio, segnalano la mancanza dei dati d'inventario quando invece in Shopify i dati risultano tutti in ordine (probabilmente dipende da malfunzionamenti dell'API). Per non parlare di alcune policy sui prodotti: ad esempio Google chiede di eliminare dal negozio di gioielli di Shopify dei semplici ciondoli a forma di croce perché potrebbero essere "offensivi". Insomma, l'integrazione finora lascia molto a desiderare.

Google seems to not want to connect My Shopify store i'..,ve tried a few times. i may need a chrome extension

Yes, it's easy to install. BUT it doesnt report the transactions correctly, have noticed duplicate transactions on many occasions. I've disabled the app and using another app to better manage analytics..

I have added the Google and YouTube app to my sales channel, and It is connected to my Google Ads account. It is tracking conversions for page view, search and begin checkout. However, it is not tracking conversions for purchases and adding payment information. The status also shows 'disconnected' for the customer events app pixels.

This would be better if it integrated the Google merchant reviews after purchase. You want people to have authentic reviews and have a system for it but you don't integrate it with the biggest platform.

Definitely not happy. Google uses WAY TOO MANY automated admins where they don't actually check your products. We have face oil that is organic and all natural yet they continually reject it as a medical product. We make no claims or have any medicinal ingredients in it. Also our tooth powder and many other things like our 2 & 3 packs of natural deodorant. They approve the 1 deodorant option but not multiples??? Huh? So unprofessional. Get real PEOPLE working on these issues!

And they also won't take down fraudulent reviews from people that have never used our products. These are disgruntled humans that had a back and forth conversation with us and they didn't like our response. That's life, get over it. Sometimes people are not going to agree with you! But they put up a 1 star google review because they are babies. Reviews are for the PRODUCTS or SERVICES which an argument from some person online is NOT service. Service only comes into play if they are a buying customer. These fraudulent reviews should NOT be allowed!! Disgraceful.

Doesn't work properly with GA4 on our store. Tracks about 30% fewer conversions than the actual amount of conversions reported in Shopify Analytics. I am recommended by a Google employee to not use this implementation but instead hardcode the tracking into the checkout.liquid.

It says that products are not approved, yet when I click on it to see what products, the list is empty.

I get little to no traffic from google.
