    Red's Fly Shop

    Location United States

    My goal was connecting YouTube shopping as our videos are the #1 source of conversion. This App is extremely frustrating. Forced me to create a new Merchant Center account rather than feed to our existing account which has worked perfectly for years. This shut down my Google Ad campaigns for a week while waiting for approval of products and various errors to patch up. Finally all connected, new Merchant Center is up and running. STILL CANNOT GET YOUTUBE TO PICKUP OUR PRODUCTS! I lost a significant amount of revenue in this transition, and it seems like Shopify isn't providing any support. There should be a litany of troubleshooting videos. Very disappointed.

    Location United States

    It's been about three weeks now of attempting to connect Shopify to my monetized YouTube channel and after multiple interactions with reps, it's starting to become clear this app just is NOT compatible with YouTube brand accounts (which no one actually knows for sure or not). If that's the case, I'd say this function is pretty useless considering majority of channels use/migrated to brand accounts!

    Paintball Buddy

    Location Germany
    Time spent using app Over 1 year

    Leider schafft es die App nicht mehr den GTIN zu übertragen und auch die Einstellung ob ein Produkt Custom ist kommt nicht im Merchant Center an.
    Sehr schade weil die App eigentlicht toll ist.
    Mein Google Shopping ist nun für kostenlose Einträge gesperrt weil die Daten unvollständig sind.
