Google app acts as if it shows the products you tell them to show. Meanwhile they are showing random titles and descriptions with random products that are not listed for google ads. I recommend using google ads instead because this app is spending alot of money with 0 result.. (average click cost me 2.20? while in google ads i get them under 0,80)

As with most people's experience with this awful app, it is an example of technical incompetence and lack of communication at all levels. Use Google Merchant directly avoid this middleman!

it's okay as for ass providing information. However, if you have shipping that is calculated at checkout, then the issue is the google advert displays "free shipping" as default. This could get my company in trouble in terms of misrepresentation, or even just lose a sale and damage my click through data.

Hi there and thank you for the feedback. We wanted to share two options that should remedy the shipping disconnect you are seeing. One option is to go into your Shopify shipping settings and change your UK-specific shipping rates. Alternatively you can change the shipping to a Manual setup instead of Automatic Sync in your Google & YouTube App settings, then ensure your shipping rates in Merchant Center are configured properly. You can read more about both options at https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-sales-channels/google/requirements and https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6069284

Have not started placing ads, but so far the entire setup process was easy and foolproof. Hoping this will help boost sales of our online store.

Todos os meus produtos estão como pendentes dentro do app no Shopify.
No merchant center eles aparecem, mas sempre estão com algum erro.
Precisam revisar a funcionalidade deste app urgente!
Isso explica o porque de tantas avaliações negativas.

Hello New England Dive, firstly, thank you for sharing this feedback.

I’ve also followed up with you with an email to log the feedback to our development team and so you have a point of contact with me too.

I'd also like to link our documentation on this app here:

This is the starting documentation and it contains several links to other relevant inforation like "Requirements for the Google Shopping app", "Setting up the Google Shopping app" etc.

Hopefully that helps! Thanks!

I tried using this app and had tons of issues with my products being rejected. They don't offer a specific reason as to why your account is being rejected. I tried reaching out to there customer support. That was an absolute nightmare. They don't really help you and were very vague. They told me to read over their policies and sent me a link. I read their policies and couldn't find an issue. The rep told me my landing page was low quality. That was part of the issue. I ask could he clarify what it meant that my landing page was low quality. I was then told he couldn't help me anymore, and they won't lift the suspension on my account, I didn't have a good experience with Google and will stick with Facebook and Instagram.
