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.

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.

why were google metafields (category,sizes,colors,gender) removed on product page? is not an update but a downgrade. all products must be subsequently processed again. App no longer recommended.

I am very frustrated with the Google merchant center. My account gets suspended every time in try to post a product. I have had Shopify for two months with only two sales. Google isn't clear about what misrepresentation mean. I tried to follow the whole list still not difference, watch and tried a whole bunch of YouTube and still in the same place. Not sure what to do now. Please help with some constructive help not any vague details. The suspension still the same.Thanks

This app provided by Google automates everything and make a very poor optimized campaign for your products. Not only that, from time to time it will block your Merchant account and you will end up with little to no help trying to figure out what API the app made to break the data. Not recommended at all, I would think google would have good software developers to build a good experience but it looks like that's not true anymore.

This app is a total disaster. Following all setup steps and spending a lot of time to present all our products diligently, we got banned by Google, and then spent months trying to find out how to unblock our account. Until today we haven't succeeded.

They keep sending us vague emails, telling us to read endless articles and policies and guess what we might have done wrong.

Not only is this treatment pretty arrogant and condescending to a merchant with absolutely no intention to do any harm. It's also completely disrespectful of our time. We have wasted so much time on this topic with no outcome.

The monopoly that a company like Google holds unfortunately allows them to treat merchants like this.

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?
