What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants highly recommend these apps for their user-friendly interface and seamless Shopify integration, ideal for all technical levels. They appreciate the quick setup and efficiency improvements, with features like free listings and direct Google Merchant Center management enhancing business growth. While customer service quality varies, support during setup is often praised. These apps are especially beneficial for beginners aiming to boost their online presence.

Having a nightmare since 14th August the majority of our products have been disapproved in the merchant centre dashboard. We haven't installed any new apps or made any changes to our store so completely confused as to why this has happened! Tried raising a case/support ticket with both Shopify and Google support teams, both pass the buck back to each. Nobody wants to take ownership and sort this mess out, its the worse customer service ever! We have now cancelled all our campaign ads until we can get some resolution. Don't know what else to say.

Hi,

I'm Cíara from the Shopify Apps team. Thanks for leaving a review, we always want to hear how our merchants are doing.

I'm sorry you had an issue with the data quality, that's not something we normally hear about. I'm going to follow up with you via email to make sure that this gets resolved, and we can get your site on Google Shopping easily.

Keep an eye out for my email, it won't be long till I send it.

Everything is set up and synchronized, but not one book is ever displayed on Google. The Shopify support does not respond to any message. I recommend NOT to use the app!

Hi,

I'm Cíara from Shopify support, thanks for taking the time to leave a review for us, we always appreciate hearing from our merchants.

For products to show in Google, you need to run a Smart Shopping Campaign, which takes up to 30 days to completely be synced and optimised across. We respond back to all emails, but when you send an email from the "Get Support" button, it goes from the email address under Settings > General and "Account Email". Have you checked that inbox for any responses? I'll follow up with you via email for some more information and get this sorted.

This is a terrible app. It sends items to the merchant center that we do not have in stock. We have reached out multiple times with no solution to fix the problem. It is causing us to have bad metrics on Google Shopping Actions

Thanks for sharing this feedback on our Google Shopping app! Currently this is a limitation because the app is designed for listing products and advertising rather than direct sales. Feedback like this helps us improve our apps, so I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback with the Shopify development team. - JP, Shopify Support

Im still waiting for support i got products thats been pending over a week and wont upload to Google or sync correctly products I have deleted days ago are being disapproved even though I have removed them days prior might just have to delete this app and start fresh so my merchant account doesn't get suspended.Shopify needs to get it together and be accountable for issues like this or retire the app because your app is causing alot of peoples accounts to get suspended,you preach about how Google is strict however your support response time is un acceptable waiting for your response will get your account suspended. Best thing to do is delete the app from your store and the products if you see them quickly being disapproved so you dont get your GOOGLE account suspended and just go with a app that you have to pay a couple of bucks,it will be less headache.

Absolute Garbage! Just look at the last week of 1 star reviews along with the last 30 pages that are 99% 1 star complaints, same reported issues going back almost a year with absolutely no resolve! Shopify is fully aware of (their) Google App's syncing issues, as they stated on the phone in one of my 4 phone calls to them in the past week alone. This is happening to thousands of businesses whose products don't have GTIN's, MPN's and/or are Custom/Made to Order. Shopify Support sent me a screenshot of my editing feed, telling me to mark the items "TRUE" for 'Custom product' which was literally already done in the screenshot they sent! If Shopify cannot provide proper syncing with Google, then what good is it? Google is 'the end all be all' for shop visibility, SEO, and sales...the only "Sales Channel" that really matters. If I can't get immediate assistance with resolve, I'm leaving the platform, as I'm sure will thousands of others experiencing these same issues. SHOPIFY, FIX YOUR DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS OR FAILURE IS IMMINENT.

Hi there,
I'm William from Shopify support and I want to assist you with the problems that you're reporting here. The GTIN settings are probably one of the most crucial parts of selling online as this adds discoverability to your products but as each case is unique I'll reach out to you privately to discuss your store. Thanks for the feedback around the app and please look out for my email.

A real nightmare... Maybe usefull for small store with very few and common items AND at the launching time of the website.
I have 1000+ items with troubles in my shop... So it's totally useless.
For example :
1001 products didn’t publish to Google Shopping
View each product to learn how to resolve any errors.
Id product identifier issue: your product identifiers aren’t accurate..

Thanks for sharing this feedback with us. Based on the error you mentioned, it sounds like some of your products may be missing the required information (http://bit.ly/35H2pGQ) needed for products to be properly added to the Google Shopping channel.

I'm going to follow up with you via email to make sure each of your products has these details added, and provide more assistance with getting this app set up. Looking forward to speaking with you soon! - Rae, Shopify Support

I have read dozens of complaints about this app. And it is a shame that the issue wrt the interface with the Content API from Google is yet not resolved. There is quite some documentation on the Content API from Google and seems to me that this issue could have been addressed a while ago. Though not sure why it still is not. As a result all my products are rejected on Google Merchant Center!

I have been using Google Merchant Centre linked to my Shopify store for years and, until recently, it worked ok (with the odd glitch). More recently, however, all my products have expired for no reason, the product pages show that Google feed is not linked with an error message of "Add shipping cost for your product" (even though my shipping options have not changed) and I cannot even link to my existing GMC account through the app. This is not good enough.

Trying to install but the “get” button just goes to a page that says, “the app you’re looking for cannot be found”.

I've had thousands of my Shopify products in my Google Merchant center successfully for more year or two with no problems. My website is Claimed (green checkmark) and email verified (green checkmark). All the sudden my products are removed, and Shopify says my Merchant Center has been suspended, even though when I log into my Google Merchant Center admin it says I'm a "trusted store" and that there are no issues listed (other than lack of products now). I've also not received any emails notifying me of any problems or any indications as to why my products are suddenly removed. So I disconnected Google from within Shopify and re-connected it and now Shopify says my website is claimed by someone else even though it's successfully claimed by me in the Google Admin (green checkmark). I've contacted Shopify and Google, and have heard from no one with any solution to this. Can someone please help? I just want to get my products back in Google Merchant Center. Thanks!
