I've been running Google Merchant with Shopify 2+ yrs, A-OK. Uninstalled Merchant, deleted campaign, added this app'... now regretting it.

Two weeks later and I still can't get Google Merchant working. Shopify are in the throws of trying to fix, but I'm getting nowhere. Now one week before Black Friday...

Horrible customer service it is just a bot that repeats without actually talking to you about why they locked you out. They say payment yet my bank is fine. They offered a offer for 100 for spending 25, and then when i get to the 26 mark they cancel my account?

A complete waste of time. Countless hours, e-mails, and phone calls with Shopify and Google Ad support. This app has caused my Merchant Account to be suspended, fed incorrect data about my products to Google, and as a result, I am not able to run ads. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP, please. Just don't do it. It will cost you thousands of dollars in lost sales.

Terrible app. Never been able to publish my products to google although I completed all the needed steps. Products are kept in (pending) status forever. Contacted Shopify support, but they were not able to help. In my merchant account, it seems that products were not synced at all and there is no product feed. I will uninstall the app and find another platform to sell my products. Shopify is a disappointment.

Tries to "take your domain." Google should have consulted merchants prior to Partnering with Shopify

Terrible app that consistently provides unending grief. Other than the sporadic "your product is disapproved because we can't reach your landing page", the app overrides the tax settings in Google Merchant to charge taxes in all states, even though that's not my configuration in Shopify or Google Merchant.

Hi there, thank you for leaving a review to let us know about your experience! We really appreciate hearing from our merchants.

I'm sorry to hear that you've found the experience to be difficult thus far! While the cost of advertising is something that Google's team sets in place and not something we can change, I can certainly walk through the set-up process with you and help better understand that restrictions you mentioned.

I'm going to send this information via e-mail! So look out for that message. I look forward to speaking with you!

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback about the Google Shopping app! Unfortunately, it is not possible to go back to the old Google Shopping app but I would like to work with you to see if there is anything we can assist with on the new one!

I followed up with you via email so we can dig into this further. We’re always working to improve the way our app works, and I will share this feedback with our development team. I look forward to hearing back from you!
