Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to install and use the Google channel on your store and leave a review. I understand that you are trying to target the US, though you are located in the UK. At the moment, the Google channel can only target a single country, which will be based on the selling currency of your shop. I'm going to follow up with you over email to open up the lines of communication and offer advice and alternatives.

This app is almost infuriating. I have had API issues with it since installing it. I've disconnected and connected several times it fixes the issues for a day. I'm constantly getting errors for things like missing gtins when they're ALL there. It's really frustrating and Shopify doesn't take any responsibility for the issues. Google says it's the app, Shopify says it's Google.

Shopify Google REFUSED to help me after completely ruining my business and taking all my money. Horrible APP and a horrible fraud company. Please stay away from this APP, for your own sakes and for your company.

Google has the ultimate power over your store. They can decide to freeze your account and there is no recourse. Avoid doing business with Google. They do not tell you why they decided to deactivate your account.

Using this app has caused me to be suspended by Google, and I haven't figured out how to sort it out yet. The associated feed from Shopify submitted attributes that cause issues with Google. And other attributes are required for certain categories, and I've yet to figure out how to customize it in a reasonable way. Shopify support is not helpful, nor is Google's. Very disappointing.

I am not able to add Google product category and other relevant data at collection level which makes the whole process of updating a big catalog unnecessarily painful to update.

Hi there!

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! Although it isn't possible to add Google product attributes at a collection level, this can be done using the Bulk Editing tool in the Google Channel or by editing the Google fields on the product pages.

I'll be following up with you via email to offer assistance to help you get set up and would be happy to share your feedback with our developers to take into consideration for future improvements.

Chat soon!

Not Reliable at all. It is a complete toss up as to weather your products will continue to populate or not. There is ZERO support.. read full review for more details. This app worked ok until it did not. Now 1000+ products no longer valid. After checking the values for several products there is no reason why they should have an error. Many ads no longer shown in google even though the fields are correct. Other ads are simply flagged with no reason why they "violate policy". Contacting google support is completly useless!!!! Ive gone back and forth for (3) months on a separate issue with google with ZERO support. This included contacting multiple departments, emailing and explaining multiple times to three different "NON" support reps, and CALLING their office in CA. I was on hold for almost 2 hours before finally giving up. There is no support for this channel.

Trying to configure this app for ages. I'm having the same problems in my two stores, I have so many products disapproved with missing GTIN or EAN numbers and I had to mark every single one in Google Merchants manually as a custom product. Also, my G Merchant is not pulling out the correct feed information and I have constant problems with products being disproved. It's a nightmare to work with, lack of support and both Shopify and Google blame each other and I'm the one who is losing here! this is so frustrating!
