I wish Google would work with independent distributors. Google isn't very user friendly with Shopify online stores who are distributors of products. These products have a logo and the company requires the logo to be a part of the picture. Google doesn't support pictures with logos, and therefore a lot of my products are advertised.
Hi there, Charlotte here from Shopify support, thank you for taking the time to install and use the Google channel on your store and leave a review. You are correct that one of Google's requirements is to have images that are free from logos or watermarks. You can learn more about this policy here: https://bit.ly/3f9mtvb. While Shopify does not have any control over these policies, I am going to follow up with you via email to see if there is any way I can support you further. Charlotte | Shopify

Google doesn't like what I'm doing I guess. I make and sell handmade leather watch accessories, so therefore no gain/mpn available. Faultcode written in solid IT knowledge language I guess, but I started using Shopify to not have to deal with that.. - You need to add a gtin or mpn. - Google is reviewing your merchant center account. your product will be re- reviewed once your acco... - Add shipping costs for your product. - Add a valid gtin.

this is a nightmare. I set it up and it unverified my domain with google and I cant re-verify it. Traffic has dropped as a result. This needs testing before made available to shops. Such a terrible product.

I completed 90% of the form to be then told it is not supported for my country Trinidad and Tobago. It’s google, why aren’t you compatible with all countries and currencies??

First off, look at all the 1-star reviews! I"ve had so many issues getting this set up both with Shopify and with Google technical support. Setup was complicated and support on both sides was slow to respond (1+ days for a simple question). There is no phone number to call to talk to anyone. Every time I updated settings as recommended by both Shopify and Google support, something else would break. Error messages and support pages are hard to understand. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND setting this up - it was a complete waste of time as I've poured about 4 weeks worth of time trying to get this to work.

I make wire wrapped jewelry and i also sell crystals at Leetwraps. Google keeps saying i need GTIN or MPN and i keep hitting custom. it seems ok at first but then a day or two goes back to not being able to publish on google. So sick of this. Facebook and IG reach are so low anymore. I should have just stayed on Etsy.
Hi there, Cathal here from Shopify. Selecting your product as custom should allow you to send your products to Google without a GTIN so I will take a look into this for you to see what is happening and will be reaching out to you by email soon. Thank you Cathal | Shopify

App not working, customer support is pointless. The person that can help fix your suddenly pulled off product cannot be reached but will respond back within a week. However, you can talk as long as you want to a service representative that cannot help you but sympathizes with your frustration, so there is that.
Hi there, Nate here from Shopify. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with the Google channel app. While Google fully enforces their own product policies and determines whether products meet requirements, we definitely want to make sure that you get the support you need regarding any issues that you're experiencing. I'll be sending an email out to open up the lines of communication and help where I can. - Nate | Shopify

For some reason now, all my products are said to be "no longer published to Google." I did not have a problem before. All my products are manufactured and have all the proper fields filled out. There's definitely something wrong here. Hopefully Shopify can contact Google to let them know. I've tried redoing the products again and filling all the fields Google says is missing, but to no avail.

Very disappointing app. Basic functionality does not work. Cannot sync GTIN, which is essential, cannot sync shipping pricing, resulting in account suspension, cannot sync product stock status, resulting in suspension, etc. Only thing it does do is sync products, which it seems to do fine... until the products are all disapproved...No help from Google or Shopify developers.

Not Reliable at all. It is a complete toss up as to weather your products will continue to populate or not. There is ZERO support.. read full review for more details. This app worked ok until it did not. Now 1000+ products no longer valid. After checking the values for several products there is no reason why they should have an error. Many ads no longer shown in google even though the fields are correct. Other ads are simply flagged with no reason why they "violate policy". Contacting google support is completly useless!!!! Ive gone back and forth for (3) months on a separate issue with google with ZERO support. This included contacting multiple departments, emailing and explaining multiple times to three different "NON" support reps, and CALLING their office in CA. I was on hold for almost 2 hours before finally giving up. There is no support for this channel.

The connection between the google channel and YouTube shopping is not working, and neither Shopify Support or Youtube Partner Support know a solution. I think this is a buggy Software tbh.

Keep getting google merchant account suspended due to no products on the website, no instruction on how to solve it, and asking google support also doesn't work. It works well before the performance max upgrade. So confusing and wasting time.

Does much more harm than good. Doesn't work at all and results in your Google account getting suspended due to data quality issues, even though all of the correct data exists within your product details on Shopify.

After about a week of trying I couldn’t get variants to display in google shopping, even after reading and watching videos about that feature and being on the phone with googles support.
Hi there! Mario here with Shopify! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Google Channel App and troubleshooting steps. I completely understand where you are coming from, products with variants would need to fulfil specific requirements, and those details aren't easy to spot. I'm happy to share some bite sized steps to follow and check several fields based on our team¡s experience. I will be reaching out to you through email shortly. Looking forward to chatting with you!

Impossible to get Shopify linked to YouTube. keep getting automated emails saying misrepresentation or policy violations. Nobody at GMC or YT team can provide a solution. Gave up in the end. Fail. Been a month now and support still can't figure it out!

Changes in the feed aren't synchronised, missing fields still show up. With this lack of functionality the app is not useful.

I am currently trying to use this app so I can connect my google merchant with my Shopify, but because I am located in Canada the required shipping details needed for Google merchant are limiting and hard to follow/use. I am still trying to configure the shipping manually within Google Merchant, but it has proven to be extremely difficult and has been a constant battle to set up....
