The app is full of bugs and there is no customer service help what so ever. The app got stuck on the verification stage, absolutely useless.

Horrible app. For being a "global" leader, this app and the money you spend is outrageous for NO RETURN!
None of my Shopify products are listed in GOOGLE SHOPPING because of GTIN IS MISSING error. I have my EANrecorded and/or ready to be input manually into the app, but the app doesn't show us where to enter the EAN.
Hey there, thanks for writing this review of Google Shopping! I'm sorry to hear you've hit a roadblock with this app. Any GTIN information (which includes EANs and other unique product identifiers) can be added via the product details or bulk editor in your admin in the barcodes section. I’ve followed up with you via email so we can take a closer look at this together. I hope to hear back from you soon! - Lauren, Shopify Support
absolute waste of your time. If this works it's probably great. But, in my case within 24 hours the google merchant account was suspended for 'invalid product feed'. The shopify app is what provides the product feed to google so there is nothing you can do. Shopify support points the finger at google and google says it's a shopify problem. Well, guess what I don't have any problems with Facebook and Instagram ads so I gave up this.
Hello, Nidhi here from Shopify support!
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and I'm sorry to hear about the account suspension due to an "Invalid product feed" error. I can understand how that can be frustrating especially when you are just getting started with the App.
I'd love to look into this to narrow down the cause of the error so we can get the App working for your business. I will be reaching out to you shortly via email to offer any assistance I can, please be sure to check your junk and spam folders as well!
I look forward to getting this figured out with you!

I'm done! Worked for many years just fine, 2 weeks ago 3/4 of my items showed sudden errors and no one (neither google nor shopify) seem to be able to figure out why. I have stopped paid advertising until there is a resolution, if ever. At this point I have no confidence they will figure it out. I don't have the time or patience to continue to work with either of them to get it right anymore. After reading other frustrated Shopify sellers I want to add that we also are 100% custom products
Hey there! Luke here from Shopify Support.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Google Shopping Channel. Your feedback is valuable and we are always looking for ways to improve. I am sorry to hear about the problems you are having recently with product approvals. While Google does have full control over all approvals, we can often dig in to find out what needs to be done to get them approved. I am going to follow up via email so we can dig in a little deeper together and get this sorted as quickly as possible.

This app does not approve several items and it doesn't tell you how to fix the issue. Also, items do not show up on Google Shopping.
Hey there,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Totally understand that you'd like for products to be approved and displaying on Google's Shopping tab - there could be a few different reasons for products to not appear, I'd be happy to investigate further with you. I've sent you an email to gather some more context about the issue and I look forward to getting this figured out at the earliest! Chat soon!

I would give zero stars if it was available. This app made all our products expire on google merchant and then removed them all(over 4000 products). It then just unlinked our account. Now we are trying to have the products added back onto google merchant with no luck. No help from support, nothing is working. No sales for the past 6 days and I do not know how long this will last. It is so frustrating. I hope we can find an alternative soon or else we are screwed.

I'm going to look into this further and follow up with you in an email to open up the lines of communication here and see if we can address some of this concern.

The app still doesnt gives me accurate data in GA4. In UA i get half of the income than the actual, but it would be okay if the GA4 would be correct, but the GA4 gives me even less (1/3 of the actual income)
Hi there, thank you for the feedback regarding GA4. I wanted to share this article which shares some reasons for differences between GA4 vs UA: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/13672281
We will also reach out directly as well to further assist you with you this.
I waited a long time to review this app hoping the bugs would be worked out and I could give a higher rating. Unfortunately, I can't. It's been a constant problem with new errors and problems every week. Now, I'm being told the problems are due to my theme. Although these new problems have just occurred. I did not have these errors in the first couple of months. The only reason I'm continuing is the app is free. I may have to give up soon.

I am very disappointed! And now its very difficult to even use when adding products. For some unknown reason Shopify & this Google app had REMOVED the editing metafields from the product page in admin. Do you know what this effects? It makes it almost impossible when you have a product, you have sizes, colors, gender, new/used etc. & when you have to bounce OUT of the product page, go to the app, select all the columns you need that were once on the product page then have to scroll FARR to the right and back left, then have to go back to item you just added to get the size color etc. makes it VERY UNPLEASANT! MAKES ME NOT WANT TO EVEN USE IT ANYMORE! NOT GOOD. So I have to have my website up, go to the products I just posted (which can be many) & a preset page with the columns I need is just ridiculous. Now I have to have 3 different tabs open just to create a product and to use the Google app
All I have to say is PUT THE GOOGLE METAFIELDS BACK ON THE PRODUCT PAGE ...please
thank you
PS. whoever had the bright idea of removing the metafields from the product page, should be fired...& I would sign off on that! KATIE BROWN!
& sorry for being so blunt but, this really does create alot of issues, not user friendly anymore.
1/26/2024 update! Still same issues, but now bulk editing load time is basically unusable with over 800 products. I cleared all cache etc, & im on a desktop! The platform needs work on the continuous scroll feature, even from side to side!
Plus still, they do not have a sort feature on their bulk edit! So you have to load ALL PRODUCTS to get to the one you need! Unreal!
**So please everyone, make this suggestion to fix this via feedback or reviews. Who wants to waste alot of time fiddling with an app just to get your products correct to surface on google!
