Google‑kanal

This app is painstakingly slow when performing bulk updates. Furthermore, Google now requires a GTIN even though an item is not custom and/or a GTIN is not necessary and "Custom Products" are marked "false". I need my products listed on Google, but its suddenly darn near impossible. As another reviewer said, if you have over 1,500 products it's basically useless and I now find myself in quite the predicament.

Broken after Google changed Merchant Centre data feed specification... https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/11905642?hl=en-GB In particular Shopify not delivering country sub-attribute... Provide delivery country sub-attribute: When providing the delivery [shipping] attribute, you now need to provide the country [country] sub-attribute to ensure that delivery prices are accurate. Item-level warnings ('Missing sub-attribute [country (sub-attribute of [shipping])]') have already been issued in the Diagnostics page to help merchants identify affected products and will move to errors starting today. This has resulted in none of our products being listed. Shopify please update ASAP

I don't know how Shopify doesn't step into to help as this situation is ridiculous and we have no alternative and the lowest tier of support from Google. Their AI bot randomly flags products that don't violate their TOS. Items that's I've spend 10s of thousands of dollars advertising with no issue previously. The employees aren't able to override the bots and tell me to "use a work around" with a new productID... Oh, ok, let me just reset all the feedback and SEO to POTENTIALLY comply with your overlord bots. This is the suggestion/response that I get each time I reach out: Thank you for contacting Shopping support regarding your Merchant Center account: [XXXX]. I hope you are doing great. I have checked the account and found that 2 items are disapproved due to Violation of Shopping ads policy. We use automated systems to identify items that violate our policies. These checks are applied to all items for all merchants. I would request you to attempt a potential workaround for this as below:
You may change to a new title and description with more generic terms. You can try to mimic other Merchant's items description and title.
In my experience, some Merchants have success with submitting the disapproved products with a brand new item ID and description. This will allow the system to re-scan the item upon re-upload, which could potentially lead to approval. Note: Once, the information has update, re-upload the feed, as to refresh the product in Merchant Center. It may take up to 3 business days to complete the review. Items that are approved as the result of a review will be eligible to serve on Google Shopping within 24 hours. Here are some problematic offers:
