What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for its user-friendly interface, easy installation, and seamless integration with Google Shopping and YouTube ads. It's praised for providing valuable insights, assisting with ad creation, and increasing store reach. The customer support is responsive and helpful. While it effectively syncs products, some merchants reported issues with large product volumes. It's recommended for its comprehensive tracking features and ability to embed stores in YouTube, proving effective in increasing sales traffic.

This app is one huge money loser and waste of time. I'd give it zero stars if I could. Every two weeks your products start to expire until they are all expired because Shopify is unable to fix this app. It's obvious when it happens because your sales slow dramatically. It takes days for Shopify support to get back to you, another 2 days for the feed to upload completely again. Each time you contact them they give you some big excuse or explanation about how the app has been fixed. Two weeks later the same thing happens. I find this app just a larger reflection of Shopify now. Competitors are far better. All they care about is making money for themselves at the expense of its customers. I'm really, really fed up with this.

Terrible app, product feeds showing errors even though all relevant fields are filled in correct. No support that I can find & support pages just have going round in circles.

This app was working perfectly and flawlessly. Now any new item that's added to my inventory is not updating. I have custom items with no GTIN and it's still asking for it! It's denied all newly added products adding to google shopping. Not good. Please fix.

It's not working with currencies and Google Shopping banned my account after installing this app with Shopify. Quite ironic!

Stupidly I deleted the old version of Google Shopping -- which WAS WORKING -- and installed this new version.

This new version connects to my Google account, but then thinks that it doesn't have authorization (which it does) so it doesn't allow the account to be configured -- even though it's pulled the info.

Google Shopping / Shopify -- please fix your apps so they are working. It's holiday shopping season. It's bad time of year to mess up a shopping application that was working.

Google doesn't provide enough feedback when products are not approved. A detailed reason for why a product is not approved would be beneficial.

Very complicated. I was getting sales with Google before installing this app. Very frustrating and with a lot of errors that you need to know coding to fix.

Hi Crimson Soul Boutique,
William here from Shopify, thanks for taking the time to review the Google channel and I'll help you out today. You mentioned needing to know code to fix something in the channel, this isn't the experience of merchants in general so I'll reach out to you for further context as to what is happening.
