It would be even better if you could choose your own advertising account and your own MCC account.

Horrible experience. Since migrating to the app they have flagged my store for several issues. Customer service was a nightmare. Now that I have that fixed after destroying my Google ads account for nothing.. The app has no longer reported sales to analytics for about 3 months now. I have opened a few support tickets but they aren't helping. Reading the reviews I can see several people share my nightmare.

Update: I have opened at least 3 tickets with that link over the past 3 weeks and am told that the department will not help, and that the issue is with Shopify. Can someone please contact me? Stephen@cheaplubes.com

Hi, sorry to hear about your experience.
For your conversion tracking issues, please check https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12002338 for help in troubleshooting your currently managed tags. We aren't seeing usage of the GA4 tag (the Google Tag Assistant is a good tool to check this), so that article has some initial troubleshooting steps to validate. I've also responded to your case privately -- the methods for conversion tracking are different when using Google Analytics natively through the Google & YouTube App vs Google Tag manager vs manually.

For the product and account issues you saw, it is true we do not support certain types of products, which is a Google-wide policy and not just an app issue https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6150138

I've been trying to set up Google Merchant Center through this app, and my account was suspended due to "policy violations" without clear explanations. The reasons given, such as "website needs improvement" and "misrepresentation," are vague, and despite my attempts to resolve these issues, I've received little to no assistance from Google or the app support team. It's frustrating because I've worked hard to meet the basic requirements, and I still don't understand why my account remains suspended.

I've been trying to fix this for so long now, and the lack of clarity and support is disappointing. I expected a smoother experience from a platform integrated with Shopify, but instead, it's been a headache. I hope the developers work on improving support for users dealing with these kinds of issues.

Complete nightmare using this thing for me. I have been with Shopify for over 6 years. Started online only and then when we opened our little local retails shop and tried to integrate with Google Business Profile and thus Google & YouTube and Ads etc. The entire experience to date has been wretched. Everything always in a loop screwing up, randomly changing data of all kinds from missing price to adult labels on benign things, to missing price, shipping, added attributes I don't want - on and on - and we sell a nominal amount of one of a kind products - art antiques & namely. Extremely poor help from Google and Shopify keeps sending the blame to Google. I am beside myself with fury on this as it is affecting in great ways our local reputation and our ability to take advantage of the free listings and such. It is like a Gremlin outside of our 2 person show is screwing it all up every few days so I can never get it going right only wrong almost all of the time. Horrible and horrible support. I am in CANADA btw. We sell internationally and locally.
So wrong to have such stupid problems with Google.

Hi, sorry you're still having issues. I see that our support agent has already responded to your ticket and at least some of these issues are now fixed. If you are having shipping disapprovals, make sure your Shipping Sync settings are configured in the App as you expect. "Automatic" will allow the app to pull your Shopify configured rates into Google, while "Manual" means you will set it up yourself in Merchant Center and the app won't copy any shipping over for you.
When we see data attributes coming and going, the issue is often multiple data sources trying to update your products in Google. The app is handling a lot of the product sync logic already for you, so you may want to check and see if you have any other third party product handlers also trying to sync products. When the app and your other third party are both turned on, they may cause data conflicts, or "data flipflopping" back and forth seemingly randomly. This is because the app is telling Google some product information, then your other third party also tries to tell Google something slightly different on the same product, and you'll see Google's data go back and forth, like a gremlin.
Hopefully this helps, and if not, feel free to write back in on your existing case, but the Shipping settings and second product sync service seem to be most of the issues you had last month.

New to e-commerce, set up this app, and used it to sort out thousands of product feed issues. Job well done Google!

In general the relationship with Google is satisfactory, but I must say that I often have problems with disapproval of products for non-corresponding price, but in reality all the products disapproved for this reason are correct with the corresponding price, the frustrating thing is that you can not get support to solve this problem, if someone can help me solve this problem I say thank you.
