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.

I installed Google a while back and was charged $225 for ads that I did not authorize. Although the credit card company fought for me and got my money back I looked back and NOT ONE of my sales reflects coming from those ads, that I did not authorize. Now I look and read all these comments I know now they are a scam. Every last comment for 4 pages is negative. Wont ever use google for anything agian. But Kit is my friend. Grant Mars

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback! I'm sorry to hear about this negative experience you had with the Google Shopping app.

Billing for ad spends are handled entirely by Google, while Shopify is responsible for facilitating the campaign creation. That said, we’re always working to improve the workflow and clarity of our apps, so I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback with our development team. - Lauren, Shopify Support

Total disaster!
No, it doesn’t carry over your existing meta data, and if you already use AdWords run away. It will destroy any campaigns you have.
Its cost us thousands in lost sales, and I could cry or kill.

Worst app i used.
Disappoint with Shopify .Waste $30 for 1.5$/CPC. Because you can not change bid in adwords. Only smart bid .Very expensive cpc...

Google ads account was suspended after using this app.. no word from google for weeks on what the issue is so can only assume this app had something to do with it. I sell clothing, jewelry and makeup so not sure what would have gone against any policy.

Hi,

I'm Cíara from the Shopify Apps team, thanks for leaving a review for the Google Shopping app, we always want to hear our merchant's experiences with it.

Google themselves control any account suspensions, but I'm going to follow up with you via email with some links to get in touch with them directly to get some help to make your account available.

Keep an eye out for my email in the next little while

Really disappointed in this app. I have spent days trying everything to get my Shopify products to sync with my Google Merchant account, including reaching out to Google, with no success and no one able to help.

I'm so disappointed with this app and the support from both Shopify and Google! I have emailed both of them multiple times and neither one of them can help me figure out the issue with my account. It should not be this difficult to get some help.

I’m trying to fix the issues within my store so that Google Merchant and Google Ads will be fixed and hopefully unsuspended by not being able to access the Google Channel through Shopify this is make my job MUCH harder. Getting someone to help with the issues that are going to on with the approval of products so it’s not “Misleading” is impossible. If someone can help us out that would be great.

This ain't it chief. It truly astounds me that Google can't even build a functioning integration with Shopify without breaking your Google Merchant account. It's even more astounding that there are plenty of independent teams that can build something that not only works, but works extremely well

Make this available to EU! I now can't use this platform after removing the old version meaning I am loosing out on many sales! Another reason why I am going to be leaving Shopify. Terrible that it is only available to the US!
