Update an Programm-Entwickler als Antwort:

Es ist kein Fehler der Google-Richtlinien. Ich habe jetzt eine andere App genommen und siehe da, es ging gleich, ohne Problem Meldungen. Es ist einfach nur die Schuld anderen zu zuschieben, anstatt die Fehler bei sich selber zu suchen!

Warnung diese App nicht installieren! Ist extrem gefährlich fürs Geschäft. Überträgt die Daten falsch und teilweise doppelt. Es werden mehr Produkte zum Merchant Center transferiert und teilweise doppelt, dadurch stoppt Google alles und sperrt die ADS sowie das ganze Google Merchant Center. Nicht installieren. Es ist hoch gefährlich. Auch das Trennen mit dem Merchant Center schafft keine Abhilfe. Die Produkte bleiben dennoch drin und manuell löschen geht auch nicht!

Utterly terrible and simply unable to setup. The App is asking us to add a refund policy when there is one already. Google support offer no help and Shopify can't help ether, Uninstalled.

Funktioniert gar nicht, einfach graues Bildschirm und nichts kommt. Ich verstehe den Sinn der Werbung von Shopify in SUMMER 2023 Edition nicht, wo sie es werben, ohne dass diese App auch etwas taugt

Lastimosamente bloquean las cuentas y las razones son generalizadas y no ofrecen un apoyo al emprendedor cercano , simplemente te bloquean y no dan razones perjudicando los negocios. Que decepción. Menos mal no es la única.

Youtube da kullanıcı sayısı ve izlenme sayısı ile yeni bir işletmenin feed yapamayacağı bir uygulamanın hiç kimseye faydası olmayacağını düşünüyorum. böyle olunca da ücretli uygulamalara yönleniyorsunuz.

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.
