It keep saying suspended due to misrepresentation. They told me to make sure I have my contact information visible along with the refund policy and shipping policy. I made sure all of that was there in multiple places. Still not approved.

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've had nothing but problems since adding Google to my Shopify store. After carefully reviewing all the information on my website, all information is intact and not misleading. My website business email was rerouted to my gmail account in Feb it worked good. Now it's disabled??? Google Merchant error states my account is not linked but I have a Google Customer ID number? I continue to get emails from Google saying my merchant account is suspended? Vague with no clear explanation nor direction. This is extremely frustrating and time consuming with no results. As a solopreneur trying to maximize my website's visibility, this is not the best use of my time...HELP!

I became a Google Merchant in 2010 and at the end of March. When I launched a Google ADS campaign within a couple of days , it the same moment I connected my merchant account to the campaign I was immediately sent an email by Google stating that my merchant account had been suspended. Upon coming here to the review site I was astonished at how many recent 1 star reviews were posted by other Shopify customers with exactly the same result of Google suspending the merchant accounts under the exact problem heading of misrepresentation . Very disappointed for the lack of due diligence for Shopify customers who now have suspended merchant accounts caused by misrepresentation of what?? Nobody knows, at least that is what the other reviews say. Then answer from Google is also very vague and does not have any ideas on offering a solution to fix this serious problem

My account got suspended as soon as I added this. I don’t even know what I did wrong. Do not install at any cost.

I don't recommend the app, since shopify events are not sent over to adwords. Shopify support said they cannot help with google analytics and sent me a bunch of links, when I asked for support for a shopify app. When we analyzed oue raw data in shopify we found 3x conversion from google ads than ads or google analytics showed. This is _owned data_, that should be provided to where you place your bets. This place is google ads (& GA). This idea ("one click google ads setup") of this app is excellent, the performance & support are not.

Got my account suspended due to misrepresentation. Trying to fix it is fruitless Google won't explain the issue and Shopify hasn't a clue. Really frustrating for such a simple product and e-commerce site.

Wir haben die App kürzlich installiert. Bereits nach einem Tag hat Google eine automatisierte Mail mit folgendem Inhalt geschrieben: We've reviewed your Merchant Center account and found policy violations. Your Merchant Center account has been suspended, and your products are no longer being promoted. Note that a suspension notification is also displayed in your Merchant Center account. In addition, related Merchant Center accounts may also get suspended. Your Merchant Center account is in violation of the following policies: Misrepresentation Google doesn't want users to feel misled by the content promoted in Shopping ads.

Wir erwarten, dass Shopify uns hilft, diese Fehler zu beheben, damit das Merchant Google Shopping Konto wieder funktioniert.

Wir hatten die App am Anfang direkt installiert und es dauerte keine 2 Tage, dass Google unseren Werbeaccount und Merchant sperrte. Nach langem hin und her schreiben, sieht auch Google den Fehler in dieser App, da einige Angabe falsch oder gar nicht übertragen worden sind. Die Sperrung erfolgt durch einen Algorithmus, so dass die Google Mitarbeiter auch nichts tun können. Für uns ist das ein großes Problem und wird wahrscheinlich dazu führen müssen, die Übernahme des Schadens klären zu lassen. Eine Anfrage an Shopify blieb unbeantwortet, was ich als Dienstleister ehrlich gesagt unwürdig finde. Ich kann nur warnen, diese App in den Store zu installieren.

Just terrible...I've lost so much time and energy trying to make my products visible in Google Shopping for nothing. I also suspect that adding this app provoked a worse visibility in Google search. All my products are active in Google Merchant Center and I have absolutely no warnings but in the end, none of my products are visible in the Shopping tab ! Only answer from Google (I think I had more than 50 different conversions with google agents) : "this is the algorythm, cannot do anything about that". Shopify support has been also useless and it seems the Content API and the way Shopify and Google are informatically communicating knows many flaws. My advice : don't use this app !!

Just after installation, account suspended for misrepresentation. Now 14 days in and repeated calls with promises of call back .... still nothing and our competitors now have a serious edge =(.

I used this app and shortly after my Google My Business profile was suspended. The only thing that changed was using this app. We've had no problems since 2014. Google won't tell me what their problem is now. Awful customer service. We're a brick and mortar bookshop and absolutely qualify. I can only assume this app is to blame. I would avoid it like the plague.

Useless product, doesn't do anything nor allows to publish your products on to google... It could have been very helpful if it worked though, what a shame!

Using this app is a disaster. It is not known why this application is used added Google Adwords code incorrectly n . This caused huge problems for Google ADs when tracking conversions!! It took me a long time, and I eventually had to uninstall it, to figure out how to fix it. NOTE: If you have to use this addon to connect Shopify to Google GMC, be sure to check every step and keep an eye on it. At least for a while after it's configured until you're sure it's working properly. Otherwise, you'll have to do it all over again from scratch as I did.

Got my account suspended due to misrepresentation. The feed is not transferring the right information always, I got the sale price instead of the regular one as an example, many problems and missing information regarding the brand and GTIN although I have all the information in the product page. The app does not help at all.

What a shitty app.... Account got suspended and banned it because of shopify. Now I contacted google and got it lifted but then it STILL doesnt give a good feed.... Very bad app and please fix this, its crucial!!

I completely see why people leave low ratings on this app. I just set it up and my account was suspended. When I contacted Shopify, they told me to call Google. I call Google, they ask me for a 10 digit number but I only have a 9 digit number and the automated system deleted me. I am so frustrated with both Shopify and Google honestly!

Google somehow managed to make more products out of the variants we have on our website and subsequently suspended our account. I should have taken the other reviews seriously.

A complete waste of time. Countless hours, e-mails, and phone calls with Shopify and Google Ad support. This app has caused my Merchant Account to be suspended, fed incorrect data about my products to Google, and as a result, I am not able to run ads. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP, please. Just don't do it. It will cost you thousands of dollars in lost sales.

If you sell services, this app is COMPLETELY useless, since Google will suspend your account. They do not let you sell services! Such a waste of my time to set this up, and then get suspended. Shopify must inform us, service sellers, before putting us through all that nonsense. Now the problem is how to get rid of all the garbage code that slows my store.
