I am coming from using Magento for many years and I have never needed YouTube to get Google Analytics working.

However, here on Shopify with this app it is impossible to set up Google Analytics without YouTube.

Anyway, I have created my "Brand Account (limited to YouTube)" as they call it now (see the note at the top of https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7001996), but during the integration when it is time to choose the brand account and selecting the one I did create for the business, it errors with:
`Whoops! You're using an account that can't go here.
Reference code: es=ABAdc_iIhvK2ZAUWDqjIpeVqHbBtzFtg77o3S-SuSVaYbkqCFX2hkzoGnFRJpqWCRvGTmmexXpLjulqXJ1j1Z_ya7eArOENnYaIVsIECGEnUVdgDwqSXm5TKY-4vgJHAU5Quh6H2l9lK`

The reference code is alway random and the error itself is not immediately helpful at all.

I have spoken to the Shopify support people but they only suggest to check with Google. Google on the other hand it is impossible to contact as they always refer you to the community and can raise a question with the public.

I just needed Google Analytics set up...

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. You should not need to set up a YouTube Account if all you want to do is use Google Analytics. When you download the app, you can set up Google Analytics 4 during the onboarding and skip the additional programs. You won't need a YouTube Brand Account if you already have a Google Analytics account.
Send us a message so we can assist you further! In the App, you can click "Get Support" located on the upper right of each page in our app, or visit https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app and mention this review so we can help!

Hi, I'm sorry you were not happy with the app missing Croatia as a selection. Unfortunately the app only supports countries that Google Merchant Center supports ads for, and Croatia has not been enabled there.

Long story short lot's of effort 1 day wasted for nothing at least for my store.

Here the full story :

First i got this error code when i put my gmail account with all my youtube channel

es=ABAdc_jPqaIoB5ZoVWRq8lnAvtbcGu67wHGVUbxIrMTF9AaW6lCPgUnSB8CEWY1BjlU-Ie4vnwkMYvXdaoPAacl0_i-uQidE4bch-8uNO2eHFibjsgl2AjHtnSWKz1Cae0_WLsviT8ff

No clear message to tell you what the error really is.
I used my gmail account with no youtube channel and it's worked,
after that i had to found a way to transfer my brand youtube channel and i found it it's not easy and there is an error when you input email where it's said undefined instead of showing your email.

Just to have a message that said i cannot link my youtube channel with with this app and have access to youtube shopping because i need it to have 1000 subscription & monetisation.
Pointless then for a new youtube channel .

back to the app to add google merchant , i had a issue with the policy as i made separate page for it on my shopify, figured out that you have to fill every input field in policy section in my shopify to make it work,
You have to check that you have contact field manualy and you can proceed.

But you need to make a google merchant account first, and dont do anything on it because it not really synced, i transfered my domain on the same email adress between the app and the google merchant to figure out that.

After a while it's will import all your product to say , that none of them are approved and you dont know why .

Long story short it's was a huge waste of time, all that for nothing, maybe the only good part is i installed googe Analytics v4.

Customer care is virtually non-existent, as they merely direct customers to read through policies, terms & conditions, and other documentation to resolve issues independently. Responses are often vague, lacking specific reasons for account suspensions.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. In order to delete the product follow these steps:

1. disconnect Google & YouTube app in Shopify
2. Then go to Merchant Center and delete those products manually.

By default Google retains products for 30 days before they expire. If you need products to be removed from Merchant Center immediately, you can delete them directly in Merchant Center after you disconnect the Google & YouTube app within Shopify
