Google & YouTube

Bugs involving the sending through of GTIN numbers with the API (it won't send your barcodes correctly through to the merchant centre due to the TRUE/FALSE settings in "custom product") - a useless editor inside the channel that can't filter - you would need to change 1000 products 50 at a time to fix said bug - SKU's not sending through correctly...so frustrating. Just to top it off, you can't change these Google merchant fields via csv, even if you wanted to try get around the bugs! Shopify, stop trying to push other commercial apps to clean up your clearly fixable bugs in this channel app. It should be a part of a Shopify plan that works for free, not a vehicle to feed your bottom line by making it unusable to anyone with more than 20 products. Any professional store builders out there thinking of switching to Shopify - be VERY AWARE this Google shopping channel app WILL NOT handle your feed to Google Merchant at scale. I really hoped while building our (currently) 6000 product store it could handle a big job and I would have an app to assist me with feeding the API perfectly - IT CAN'T AND IT WON'T. It can handle maybe a few hundred but trying to manage 1000's of products you will have issues. You will be looking and trying to get the job done with a custom feed (the only option I can see at the moment with the way this app is for 1000's of products) or some other app they will charge you for, or trying your best to get around this app with a hodge-podge of additonal "bulk changer" apps that are not free that they will try recommend to make up for this app being basically unusable on its own at scale. HOPEFULLY with Google now "looking after" this app after Sep 1 2022, it might improve and be usuable at scale...here's hoping.

I am experiencing some of the same issues that other people/companies are having. I keep getting GTN error on a lot of products. I also am experiencing missing inventory data issues. I don not know what that means or how to fix it. I am thinking about removing this app. My sales have dropped since this past May.

can not get it to work...keeps unpublishing items due to gtin/mpn..We have custom products that do not have these. Tried everything we read about to fix this issue..Is useless

It doesn't pickup product variations and discounts. It randomly rejects my products saying the price doesn't match the landing page price when there is discount or variations

seems like a common problem people are having. does not link without flagging misrepresentation. I am trying to link my store to my youtube channel and it's not working.

Integration does not work. I've had a Google Ads account for years now that's connected to our Google Merchant Center (also connection issues with this), but it doesn't seem to want to pull that information into Shopify. The only option I have is to create a new Google Ads account... why? I go into Google Account and everything on my end is linked, verified, and claimed. What is this app even for? Nothing works.

Seamless workflow my butt. Your integration is horrible. Can’t even fetch images with saying the product failed. 6 hours of my life gone because I thought it was me, but it was always you. Not worth the hassle.

Can't group products with different sizes into single listings. So it's useless really. Definitely dont need dozens of listings, 1 listing for each size!!!

After connecting my YouTube brand channel all products are imported to YouTube. But you are unable to connect to my main Google Ads account. You can only use your Google Ads account if you have a personal YouTube account. Almost no professional YouTuber uses a personal YouTube account. A YouTube brand account does not have its own email address and thats why you can not access to Google ads.

Made a campaign through this app and got a suspension from google for "circumventing systems". It is impossible for me to get through to google and ask them what is wrong. Shopify support does not want to help either, as they say google are to blame, eventhough the only thing I have done is to name the campaign and set a daily budget in the app. Something must be wrong with this APP. Please someone reach out if you know how to get this solved.

There is no other racist dictator organization like Google. If you are angry with Putin, look at Google. they are number 1 step away google, they will fk your business

Trying to connect your shop to youtube via this app is about as painful as a horse repeatedly kicking you in the face.

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!

I've been trying to spend the thousands/month on advertising but Google won't let me set it up through Shopify or the Merchant Center. It's a black hole of ineffectiveness. Always the same meaningless problems that keep me from advertising anything. Is there any support for this product?

I opened my account and it has been suspended saying policy violation , my website has sale on. I have fed it via shopify . continuesly my all products are disapproved , trying to contact to team , there is no one coming back with the solution answer.

I can't even connect the app to try it out. I keep getting "Error 400: invalid_request Account restricted" If you’re the app developer, make sure that these request details comply with Google policies. access_type: offline openid.realm: origin: https://google-shopping.shopifycloud.com response_type: code permission id_token redirect_uri: storagerelay://https/google-shopping.shopifycloud.com?id=auth705803 ss_domain: https://google-shopping.shopifycloud.com prompt: consent include_granted_scopes: true client_id: 407182546550-jursbltk3ek1batrdhns9pojkpnv63ke.apps.googleusercontent.com gsiwebsdk: 2 scope: openid https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/siteverification https://www.googleapis.com/auth/content https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.third-party-link.creator https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly

Great attempt, but something's broken. Our store says: "78 products didn’t publish to Google. View these products to see why." So I go to products and they say: "GTIN is required for this product". But our products DO have GTINs (UPCs) - they are LPs and CDs. All correctly entered in the barcode/GTIN box in our product page. A basic field that Google doesn't pick up from Shopify! Looking forward to it getting fixed....?

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.

Absolutely useless if you have PRODUCT VARIANTS. This app ignores them totally. Very disappointing!!

They have suspended my account for 'suspicious payment activity' but I only just opened it. They are also refusing my products for no reason.
