At first, when I installed it and used it under the Sales Channel it was good. It helped my sales. However, about a week ago, Shopify moved it back to Apps and removed it from Sales Channel. For some reasons, that affected my traffic a lot. Not getting traffic and not getting sales. I logged into my Google Merchant Center and it says "Not performing automatic item updates for availability" so basically some kind of error. I Shopify look into an update. Also, google marks a lot of my products as policy violations, I don't know why? I don't sell anything illegal or dangerous. All stones related. Etsy has the best Google Shopping and the best inside Etsy advertising. Cheap, lower rates and best results. For every $100 sales it cost only about 7%.

Hi there,

Charlotte here from Shopify support, thank you for taking the time to install and use Google on your store and leave a review. While suspensions are actually decided by Google, and not by Shopify. I'm going to follow up with you over email to open up the lines of communication and see how we can provide more support for you on this.

Impossible to get Shopify linked to YouTube. keep getting automated emails saying misrepresentation or policy violations. Nobody at GMC or YT team can provide a solution. Gave up in the end. Fail. Been a month now and support still can't figure it out!

Haven't been approved because I sell products that go against the standards of google. Check out gocrossbow.com and see for yourself.

So far, I am beyond not happy! I am not even going ot bother using this app. What a waste of time. I have close to 150 products and they ALL need to be reconfigured in Google for Google. And I mean multiple reconfigurations per product! So much for bulk editor. I spent all that time setting up in Shopify and now I have to do it all again? What's the purpose for the app? I could have just set up Google separately. Why am I trying to help Shopify make more money, if they're making more work for me to do it?

Worst experience. Made 2 accounts was fine then got suspended on one for suspicous payment even though both accounts are on the same debit card? 1 day later my merch center got suspended for terms and conditions as well as my 2nd google ad account? Reach out to fix issue and google said I need to work on my merch account but the link from the merch center was causing my google ad account to be suspended. So i listened to Google and in the mean time unlinked my account and it was unsuspended!!!! 2 hours later it gets suspended for Circumventing???? I have done nothing but try and resolve this with google and never tried to be sneaky and make another account or anything. I have worked so hard and try so hard to email google for help and all i get back is an automated email saying your still suspending and it will remain that way till you fix whatever you need to even though it tells me nothing about what to possibly fix to get things working. Waisted so much time when I did nothing wrong I made 1 ad that ran for probably 12 hours. Waisted so much of my time.

My account has been rejected since I opened the store. It tells me that I haven't added contact details and they are in the footer menu. I'm fed up. I don't know what else to do

Totalement nul, ne fonctionne pas, ne prend pas en compte mon flux de produits sur Google.

My products are not being recognized by the google sales channel when I consult them in the app, they are neither approved nor disapproved nor pending. It's as if there are no products on the site, even though they are marked as active in this sales channel in the product settings.
