I already use google ads and googe merchant on my own company out of shopify. Transfering my products from shopify to merchant was way easier than doing it directly to merchant

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

Hi there, thanks for leaving a review for us today! We really appreciate hearing from our merchants about their experience.

My name is Jonathan, and I'm a member of Shopify's support team. I'm sorry to hear that you've experience a high Cost per Click. That can be very frustrating! I'm going to shoot you an e-mail to better explain the cost breakdown that Google has, as well as some resources about the cost of clicks of your ads. Look out for that e-mail!

Talk soon,

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.

A bit challenging but it works out well. There should be help to install accounts on your website for a beginner.

Terrible experience. All my products are not approved. The Google error messages don't really help me fix the issues(s). My mugs are set as unique products. If you are new to something you don't know how to solve the issues.

I have no words! This app is awful. Same problem as most of the 1 star reviews. I've been dealing with this issue since I became a Shopify customer in July 2015. I was immediately suspended from the Google merchant account for misrepresentation as soon as Shopify connected my (2015!) Merchant account and was unable to get approval. I tried with other accounts and the result was the same.

Hi there!

Paola here with Shopify! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. I completely understand how the Misrepresentation suspension can be confusing. Google does not share with us further details on why they have flagged an account, although I truly wish they did. From our end, as mentioned in previous reviews, we can only provide you guidance based on our own experience. But at the end of the day, it's totally up for Google if they will lift the suspension or not.

With that being said, I will be reaching out to you through email shortly to offer all the support we can from Shopify's perspective. We want to ensure that you have the right tools for your business to succeed.

I look forward to chatting with you!

I have also gotten zero results from this app. If someone can follow up with me via email that would be awesome. I don't think I have anything left to fix, but am not getting results. Thanks

It is very straight forward for anything that needs doing. Even creating a new google account to enable it. It is a simple step by step process. There are also different options available should you want paid or free promotion, or both.
