Small business dropshippers not welcome. Google will suspend dropshipping merchant and ad accounts due to "misrepresentation".

Very buggy. Constantly have to uninstall and reinstall for it to work. Support button does not work, message can never be sent. Google Merchant Center is a disaster in any case, but this app doesn't help. There's got to be a better way...

Nachdem die App mehr schlecht als recht gelaufen ist (keine Übertragung von Grundpreisen; unterschiedliche Fehlermeldungen zwischen shopify-app und Google-Merchant-Center; die google-Felder einzelne Produkte lassen sich immer nur über die Gesamtansicht ändern; kein Support durch shopify, da immer wieder auf google als Problemquelle und App-Lieferant verwiesen wird; ...), werden unsere Produkte seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr synchronisiert und google löscht sie nach und nach aus dem Merchant-Center als 'abgelaufen'.

Not working, will not approve any products in my inventory. Issue with barcode. Do not know how to fix. Wish it would be easy to add inventory. Facebook Shopping was a breeze to add no issue at all!

Hi there, I am Nidhi from the Shopify Support team.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on the App. All products are reviewed by Google and and it is important to ensure that they meet Google's requirements to advertise. Our handy guide here goes over the product requirements in detail - http://bit.ly/GSproductrequirements

I can understand how it can seem confusing to get set up and I'd love to help make this a better experience for you. I will be following up with you via email to lend a hand with this, be sure to check your junk/spam folders too!

I look forward to talking with you!

It's not you. It's the app. I called Shopify support to see why google shopping was no longer working for me. There are a lot of things one could "try" but ultimately the API is broken. It's not working for anyone (as evidenced by the reviews here). So you're probably better off not spending a lot of time trying to get this thing to work.

This does not function as a reliable ad service. I am paying more money, for less viability, and am unable to modify any of the options to optimize the products being sold. This needs to be corrected by Shopify as soon as possible. I am not able to access any of my old ads due to the update and have no means of correcting this with Google. How much did Google pay you to do this Shopify? I may have to move my store if this isn't corrected within the next few days. Not happy at all.

It takes way more than 3-5 days for Google to approve ads. Shopify you should take down that claim if Google wont honor it. Dont bother contacting Shopify for support they will just refer you to Google then Google will refer you back to Shopify. Also atleast for me having hard time changing to manual bidding. Automatic bidding has robbed me with no conversions.

Super confusing and unhelpful. Had to remove it and do things manually. Buggy and slow. Not easy to work with, save yourself time and do it yourself.

I found that more of my products were not uploading to GMC, and I even changed my products many times!!!
And I have all my items approved in GMC, but in this app, it says my items are not approved.
