Google makes it sound like that is so easy. I have been going around and around with this Google Merchant, Ads, Campaigns, and other requirements. Something is always wrong and no customer support. Google just wants you to pay more and more. Very unhappy.

No stars for you google. I am just tired of trying to get my acct unsuspended for misrepresentation. I have removed all content and products, double checked all my feeds and on and on and on......I feel this is quite possibly the worst offense you could do to a new aspiring business. This experience has been so unaspiring, While trying to protect consumers you have crushed the small business as well as cost much time and effort to no avail. Let me know if you ever get it right or Can just tell me the offending data or lack of.

Hey there! Luke here from Shopify Support.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Google Shopping Channel. Your feedback is valuable and we are always looking for ways to improve. While we here at Shopify developed this app, we don't actively have any control over account suspension or product approvals. That said, we can often provide guidance to help you get things working and inline with Google's requirements. I am going to follow up via email so we can dig in a little deeper together and get this sorted as quickly as possible.

If you want to burn money and get no results this is the ideal app to use. There is no control over spending and had to switch if off quick after $300+ spend in a couple of days. TOTALLY CRAP..........

My google ads account was suspended for the very vague reason of "misrepresentation" so I call google support and the lady I spoke with says that I met all requirements and that nothing was wrong so I ask if she can fix it because it's urgent and she said I have to submit a request for review that could take up to 7 days... during my biggest sale of the year... BLACK FRIDAY!!! I am so frustrated I might move all my stores from google shopping. I can't begin to express my disappointment... I will lose thousands over this.

WHile it is easy to use it does some bad things when creating the product feed.

This includes using the shopify intern product id as the product ID in the feed when google wants that number ot be the product SKU. When google sees this it will disqualify those products. This product is dangerous.

Thank you for your feedback! When product ID is sent to Google, it does not replace the product SKU. Product SKU would be the GTIN from the product when it is being synced to Google.

I’ve followed up with you via email in case you needed any further assistance on this. Hope to hear from you soon!

Something is terribly wrong with this misrepresentation issue. Advice from shopify google expert says you cannot sell on Google unless you have a physical location? If this is true how are all these other dropshippers using google ads. Since I have installed the app it has been suspended for misrepresentation and i have been on all the help forums. Big Big problem with alot of other users accounts too..
