I have entered and double-checked the contact information in my store a thousand times. Customers can access the page - Contact Form, a link to my contact information and pages on social networks. There is an e-mail at the bottom of the page. Shopify support has confirmed that I have done everything correctly. And after all this, the app answers me that Google verification is not passed. Until the "Confirm that you've added contact information to your online store" step is confirmed as "done", I can't move on (

Hello there and thanks for taking time to leave a review. Apologies for any frustration and I will share the feedback with our team. Click on the blue text: "Confirm that you've added contact information to your online store" and a popup should present itself then click okay. That should then resolve that open checklist item for you and unblock your onboarding.

I will reach out directly to you to ensure this resolved your issue.

I am not very happy with this app at all.

GA4 Analytics, just does not deliver correct Data. Always Purchases or Add to Cart Values are missing.
Also the Sales appear earliest 1 day after. in Google Universal Analytics the Sales Data appeared just a max 15min later.

How can this be solved?

One word: Misrepresentation.

It's pretty much impossible to run a POD company now with Google. It's disgusting how much money I've spent on Google Ads over the years and yet not a single person from Google could help me with my account suspension. We dob't scam people, we're a legitimate business. This has been going on for a year now and destroying people's main source of income. They need to get rid of this.

If you use 3rd party product feed this will brake it.
If you think it will simplify GA4 and google ads Tag it will not, if you using other app for your product feed. It will install and link GA4 but to install and link google ads tag YOU need to use there feed! there is no option in the app NOT to send feed, there is no option in merchant centre to choose your feed either. So once you disconnect on this app from merchant centre it will disconnect and delete google ads Tags as well.
SO if you use other app for you product feed and thinking about simplifying tags this will not work in fact this will override and brake your feed. Customer support will just paly ping pong among 'departments' and will close your case after about 2nd caned response.
Ogh and be careful with Performance Max campaigns will throttle your ads to click farms.
Edit: apparently this app stopped 'purchase' tracking after 1/Jul. so NO you can't even import conversions from GA4 to ads. And yes i'm being bounced around google departments again. At this point its just funny how bad things are. Before thinking about monetarization could you google folks just create APP that sorts tags out???!!! Its BASIC and most important first step to connect to you! And yet its in absolute shambles

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback. Just to clarify, GA4 tagging and free listings / ads conversion tracking are two separate tag mechanisms for setting up conversion tracking. You do not need to connect your Merchant Center account to the Google & YouTube app to set up your GA4 tagging or to track conversions through GA4.

If you’d like to track conversions through GA4, once you’ve connect your GA4 account / property to the Google & YouTube app, follow these steps [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10632359?hl=en] to import conversions to ads.

If you delete the Google & YouTube app, only tags set up through the app will be deleted and can be set up again if you reinstall / connect.

The worst customer support ever. Very disappointing. My Merchant account has been suspended for "misrepresentation" and Google won't tell me what's wrong. All they say is follow our policies. It's kind of a riddle that you have to solve. Worst part is there's no customer support. Also been having other issues with google workspace and again no customer support, even though they mention 24/7 customer support for google workspace, which is "misrepresentation". There's no customer support at Google Period. I bet their reply to this review is "learn more about our policies". Extremely disappointing!!

After trying all possible support option i am writing this review! My Google Merchant account was all set and i was using a third party app to connect my shopify products with Google Merchant. When i found this official app i was happy to see this and I moved to this App. After few days I got email my account is suspended due to "Misrepresentation" After doing All review from my end and trying to update my website more better i requested review but nothing works.
I contacted Support Live chat of Google Merchant many time and they even also says everything is perfect and when they forward my request to Team for review again it say misrepresentation.
Our store is following all google guideline provided by google on their support pages but the reason of rejection was always same "misrepresentation" when i ask i happy to fix it but give me some exact guide and they always refuse to explain. they says to read support form again and again.
After tried everything I delete my old merchant account by thinking it might be glitch and i again created new one on same email and unfortunately after 3 days of working it again suspended with same reason.
I did a lot of changes and testing many things and done many reviews but no one able to guide me what actually the issue is.
Once a live chat person guide me about the speed issue might be the rejection reason I fixed it as well. My business details are all clear. my product description, images, titles EVERYTHING is perfect.
I have option for customer to review, i have all policies page with proper explanation. Our business selling only those product that are allow by google and so one.
everything was fine but I always see misrepresentation AND NO MORE SUPPORT.

I wish if someone give me exact guide i immediately solve the issue but at least tell your users what we missed. I have verified merchant on Pinterest and we have all social media active only missing to list our business on google and it looks like: GOOGLE ignore new startup!

wish to get a good response after this! I would love to update this review very soon to tell users GOOGLE Team finally helps me and i able to list my product again, wishing for better luck.

THANNK YOU.

NO support, Suspended day one, They want you to be a programer. The second I got unsuspended i got resuspended. Still have no clue why. "Set apps to use 'Authorized' payment status" isnt a thing

Got email telling me that policy is policy.. It is not policy issue you have with me, you have the LACK OF UNDERSTANDING. PUNISH ME CAUSE I AM NOT GENIUS. YOU SUSPEND US AND GIVE US BROAD REASON.. THEN WE FAIL TO UPDATE WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE YOU ARENT CLEAR. WHY WOULD I CHANGE MY FEEDBACK. YOU ARE NO HELP. JUST HELP US.

This app is horrible, I want to sell it on google and the merchant center won't let me, it always appears that everything has been disapproved and never approved in my store, EVER! I want to sell products and have new customers come to my store, please help me remove this misrepresentation that interferes with google ads, I can't take it anymore, I did everything, my policies are clear, there's nothing to do with the scam, I want to put my store on Google and get it approved, please, for the good of entrepreneurs who want to start selling on the internet.
