Hey there! Amy here from Shopify Support. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm really sorry to hear of the struggles you are facing. If your ad is paused, you should be able to unpause or delete it from the campaigns section in Shopify Marketing. You should see "resume activity" at the top of the page and "delete activity" at the bottom.

I'm going to send you an email to open up the line of communication and send you some screenshots so we can get this sorted out!

Disapointed :( :( All setup info and tips are made for the previous version of this app which also seemed more user friendly and up-to-date than this hagwash.. Seems like a scrappy beta version at best with very limited controls etc. etc. I see im not the only one with this issue... Hope you guys will read your reviews and fix asap (hint you are losing money from lost transactions fee's aswell).

Google Merchant and Google Ads suspended. And i don't know why. All the work thrown in the trash. Beware that perhaps the problem could be the App

Updated after Nidhi’s response: anyone with a most basic understanding of google shopping ads and merchant center would know that the suggestion to “customize your campaign any further than this, this can be done directly from your Google Ad's account.” is completely inaccurate when trying to address the issue that has been raised. Yet again, Shopify support just keep spouting their “we’d love to help” stock responses while in reality having no clue about these bugs and errors and having no other suggestions than pay for an app or “it’s not us”.

Don't use this app if you want to sell internationally and you ship to countries other than your own. Apparently, it is not possible for an international platform like Shopify to create a simple integration and add in additional country codes. If you use your feed through Google Merchant Center and you want to create ads (shopping or otherwise) using your product data, you can't because Shopify didn't think of that. Completely useless.

Hi there, Nidhi here from Shopify support!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I can understand your frustration with this and it is through feedback like this that we are able to work towards future app improvements.

The Google Shopping app lets you target the country your Shopify store's currency is set to, and if you wish to customize your campaign any further than this, this can be done directly from your Google Ad's account.

I'd love to get in touch to offer any assistance and share your feedback with our developer's. I will be following up via email, if you could keep your eyes peeled for an email in both your junk and spam folders that would be awesome!

I look forward to talking with you,

if I could give this new Google Shopping Channel no stars in a rating I would. Do NOT...I repeat...DO NOT use the Google Shopping Channel.

The feed is a huge problem. Does not sync well with Google.

Does not have the ability to send over both the MPN and GTIN numbers.

Multiple problems with data matching between Google and Shopify leading to almost our entire store (8000+) products being disapproved. It took 2 weeks for Google to recrawl the products after we spent hours "fixing" our products. We still have not regained our positions in Google Shopping.

You do not have an option to set up your shipping in Google. The feed pushes over the shipping tables created in Shopify. If you have multiple zones or tables set up in Shopify, the feed sends over all of the tables and Google gets confused. It then selects the highest possible shipping rate for your product to display in your shopping product display. I spent hours setting up zones and rates in Google, removing the API shipping feed only to have all of my work erased and replaced with the information from the feed that next time it generated.

This is a prime case of a company pushing out a new "solution" before testing it properly. They are now unable to make the fixes to make it work.

You have been warned....proceed at the risk of your sanity
