Google & YouTube

Avoid at any cost if possible!!!

I had nice working good old working Google Shopping App and decided to upgrade it after few emails from Shopify about it... Oh, man... It was (still is) costly mistake. My sessions from Google dropped in 3 times right away... and of course there is no support from Shopify....

Avoid!!!

No stars for you google. I am just tired of trying to get my acct unsuspended for misrepresentation. I have removed all content and products, double checked all my feeds and on and on and on......I feel this is quite possibly the worst offense you could do to a new aspiring business. This experience has been so unaspiring, While trying to protect consumers you have crushed the small business as well as cost much time and effort to no avail. Let me know if you ever get it right or Can just tell me the offending data or lack of.

100 percent of our products are custom, when Shopify updated this app a few months ago, I lost thousands $$$ since then on unperforming ads and loss of traffic, since then do to my products were not showing properly on google searches. This is because the app has a bug that its not letting google know that my product identifier does not exist, which means that the app is not letting google know that my products are custom and do not have a GTIN or MPN. After months trying to figure out why my products were not showing consistently with Google, Google told me that do to this issue I am loosing about 80% of my traffic and not getting any organic shopping traffic!!! After speaking with 3 different shopify support agents, Shopify told me the other day that this option is not necessary and will not have any negative effect on my listings. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I manually updated my Google feed with Identifier exist to NO which this APP fails to do and let me believe that it is doing so, Now my two store is starting to show improvements on the listing and orders are coming in more frequently via Google, after months!!!!! Being a small business owner and relying 100% on our online stores to support my family, I feel that Shopify google app and its support let me down. This issue can be tested by going to a product listing - More Actions - Google App and check mark "this is a custom product". This check mark should be letting google know that the product have an "identify exist" with a value of "NO". It doesnt do this update which is a bug on the app that will be affecting ALL shopify users with custom products that are similar to other products. Google app will eventually override my feed via the content API and give me issues again, which is what I am worried about!

Google doesn't like what I'm doing I guess. I make and sell handmade leather watch accessories, so therefore no gain/mpn available. Faultcode written in solid IT knowledge language I guess, but I started using Shopify to not have to deal with that.. - You need to add a gtin or mpn.
- Google is reviewing your merchant center account. your product will be re- reviewed once your acco...
- Add shipping costs for your product.
- Add a valid gtin.

De repente mi tienda se ha desactivado de Google, os he escrito a soporte y nadie me responde. No hay forma de localizar la aplicación en mi perfil para volver a sincronizar los productos y volver a anunciarme, entro en Google Ads y me dice que está todo desactivado y si no respondéis al correo para ayudar a los usuarios en los fallos. Es imposible trabajar y en la época de más ventas.

It actually seems like a scam. It has spent over half our ad spend to date on advertising to people whom canot buy from us despite adding a location. It gives no control and is bug ridden from start to finish. It's actually hard to believe just how bad this app is. Shopify is this a scam?

Useless product, doesn't do anything nor allows to publish your products on to google... It could have been very helpful if it worked though, what a shame!

Horrible, I verified my phone number and my website, but Google suspended my account because they said I did not do it. I talk to customer support and they said that I did it, then, they do not know about the problem ,and they will investigate more and give me an update 4 days ago. I keep waiting. This is my second store with problems with Google.

What a nightmare to use for everyday folks. This app and Google has a long way to go. Google seriously needs to work on support and correcting their own errors before offering so many services. I've been trying to get this set up correctly for what seems like 3 years now. So many errors and such a royal pain to use.

It is a frustrating experience with the Google Merchandise Center. It's disappointing that my account suspension was not lifted, even after I made the necessary changes to my product details, business address, and contact information. It's also concerning that I did not receive any feedback on what else might be required to reactivate my account and that my attempts to contact Google Merchandise Center only resulted in an auto-reply.
I'm seeking assistance from a Google Ads or Google Shopping expert who may be able to provide guidance and support in resolving my issue.
