Horrible app. Used to be 100x easier to fix errors. I will pay for another app just so I don't have to use this one anymore.

Please, Shopify, focus on the platform improvements and much, much less on apps. Let 3P's address those needs.

I found the app easy to set up BUT the app is displaying the wrong price for some (but not all) products.
Specifically, it appears that in some cases the logic is selecting the lowest price of the available variants for a given product rather than the actual variant price. For example; My product X has variants x, xx and xxx. If variant x = $10, variant xx, $20 and variant XXX $30; the Ad is displaying variant xx price as $10, rather than $20.
I logged the issue but no help forthcoming to date (it's been a few days). The issue was raised via a customer asking for variant xx at the 'advertised price'.

Do not use this app. We enabled the smart campaign which added a bunch of pixels and tags to our site - there was no documentation or notice that this was happening. The tags inflated the conversions across all campaigns in the google account (other PPC campaigns and display). This created huge confusion, led to us increasing budgets, losing money, etc.

The worst customer support ever. Very disappointing. My Merchant account has been suspended for "misrepresentation" and Google won't tell me what's wrong. All they say is follow our policies. It's kind of a riddle that you have to solve. Worst part is there's no customer support. Also been having other issues with google workspace and again no customer support, even though they mention 24/7 customer support for google workspace, which is "misrepresentation". There's no customer support at Google Period. I bet their reply to this review is "learn more about our policies". Extremely disappointing!!

I installed this app as the last version I had was no longer supported and forced me to change. This app over wrote my existing Google Merchant account and lost all history. My products were then suspended in Google shopping because some moron on in India thinks protein powder is a banned pharmaceutical. Nice work Google! Can't say enough about how frustrating it is to do business with you and companies that use support centers in India. I would give you a worse rating if I could but I will just move my ads to Amazon where they get triple the ROI of Google Shopping, I recommend others do the same. Of course this hurts your business Shopify team. Are you listening?

Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience with the Google Shopping app. I'm sorry to hear that it was a negative one. We're listening.

I can see that some of your products were banned through Google's algorithm, and consequently, resulting in the account getting suspended. Based on your feedback, it seems that you've reached out to Google looking for a solution but they've provided limited answers. I understand how frustrating this can be, especially the old app was functioning normally prior to your transition.

I've followed up with you by email to log your feedback for our developers. Hope to hear from you! -Jason, Shopify Support

I became a Google Merchant in 2010 and at the end of March. When I launched a Google ADS campaign within a couple of days , it the same moment I connected my merchant account to the campaign I was immediately sent an email by Google stating that my merchant account had been suspended. Upon coming here to the review site I was astonished at how many recent 1 star reviews were posted by other Shopify customers with exactly the same result of Google suspending the merchant accounts under the exact problem heading of misrepresentation . Very disappointed for the lack of due diligence for Shopify customers who now have suspended merchant accounts caused by misrepresentation of what?? Nobody knows, at least that is what the other reviews say. Then answer from Google is also very vague and does not have any ideas on offering a solution to fix this serious problem

I got my Merchant account suspended after I installed this channel. I even tried myself to fix the problems since I got no support! After that I even hired someone to help. My account is still suspended

Won't work - just like the Facebook app. Is this a way to try to get more money to get a better app? Wish I knew this before I spent the time and money to set up my store.
