Having created bespoke pictures of products to fit in with my website, my listings got rejected because of the images. Could not amend feed image details to provide an alternative picture that was OK .

Can support please get back to me about how to get rid of the active campaign that is left in my shopify admin EVEN AFTER I have deleted the app. No response from app support. I do NOT recommend this app.

Simple to set up, but doesn't work, seems like a bug to me. The products are not syncing to the Merchant Center. Under each product, it says "Google has noticed that your shop does not meet Google's requirements." Yet, when you look at the Google channel settings it says "Your shop meets Google Merchant Center's basic requirements".

Every 30 days this app is putting my business in a terrible Setback with lost time and money. This app is supposed to renew the items automatically before they expire, so they are always active. And although I was promised by the support team that this will not reoccur.. It Does. Not only that it happens and I need to keep a daily check on the Merchant account, I’m waiting for days for it to start renewing items, and e-mailing the support team every morning with a screenshot of the merchant account, and every day I have fewer items to advertise less traffic and less or no sales. The time to fix this, the loss of business and money on advertising is overwhelming. A real bad experience.
Hey there! Amy here from Shopify, I'm really sorry to hear of the troubles you have been having. I completely understand the setback this could cause to your business. I would love to open up communication with you and see what needs to be done here. I'll send you an email. Amy l Shopify

If you make a mistake to let the app "automatically" import your shipping settings, it will completely wipe out all shipping settings you may created manually. Also, the imported settings will not be applied to Shopping actions (the app does not know about shopping actions, because, like many other apps provided by Shopify it is about 18-24 month behind in functionality). As the result, you will be completely screwed! Bottom line: the app provides limited functionality and causing a lot of harm
Hi, I'm Cíara from the Shopify Support Team, thank you for letting us know how the app worked for you. It is true that if you select automatic shipping settings, we wipe what's in your Google Merchant Center account, and we can definitely make that more obvious, and I'll pass that up to our team. We don't support Shopping Actions because right now it's only available in two countries, but we do support Surfaces Across Google, for free listings on Google. I'm going to follow up with you via email to make sure we can do everything possible for you. Cíara | Shopify Support

If I could give this app negative reviews, I would. Since the latest update, we have had nothing but sync problems, and have now lost THOUSANDS of dollars in sales over the past two weeks because the app doesn't connect or sync to google.
Hi, I'm Cíara from the Shopify Apps team, thanks so much for leaving a review, we really appreciate hearing from our merchants. I know that issues with products not syncing are incredibly frustrating and bad for your business, and I'm going to follow up with you via email so we can make sure it's all been resolved. Keep an eye out for my email, and we'll talk soon. Cíara N Shopify Support

Having a nightmare since 14th August the majority of our products have been disapproved in the merchant centre dashboard. We haven't installed any new apps or made any changes to our store so completely confused as to why this has happened! Tried raising a case/support ticket with both Shopify and Google support teams, both pass the buck back to each. Nobody wants to take ownership and sort this mess out, its the worse customer service ever! We have now cancelled all our campaign ads until we can get some resolution. Don't know what else to say.
Hi, I'm Cíara from the Shopify Apps team. Thanks for leaving a review, we always want to hear how our merchants are doing. I'm sorry you had an issue with the data quality, that's not something we normally hear about. I'm going to follow up with you via email to make sure that this gets resolved, and we can get your site on Google Shopping easily. Keep an eye out for my email, it won't be long till I send it.

This app has been helpful in creating Smart Shopping Ads for us. However, we have had an error message on Google Merchant Centre displaying "Pre-emptive item disapproval (availability)" every few months, for several years. The service team continuously re-directs the issue to Google but we strongly believe the issue is the mapping of the Availability field. If this gets mapped across correctly, then our feed will reflect our data in Shopify. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
Hi, I'm Cíara from the Shopify Apps team, thanks for leaving your review, we appreciate all the feedback we can get. This is a pretty unusual error, and I'm going to send you an email to follow up directly, so we can get to the bottom of the error and get this resolved for you. I know these kind of issues aren't ideal, and I want to fix it. Keep an eye out for the email from me, and we'll talk soon. Cíara N Shopify Support

Too many restrictiions! Takes a lot of time...too many questions you gather a lot of informations to us and you gather alot of money as well from us but the service still
Hi there, thank you for leaving a review to let us know about your experience! We really appreciate hearing from our merchants. I'm sorry to hear that you've found the experience to be difficult thus far! While the cost of advertising is something that Google's team sets in place and not something we can change, I can certainly walk through the set-up process with you and help better understand that restrictions you mentioned. I'm going to send this information via e-mail! So look out for that message. I look forward to speaking with you! Talk soon, Jonathan E. | Shopify Support Guru

I have problem with sync products to Google Merchant, and need help from Google Shopping expert. My given support is WAITING, and until now my products still can not be sync. Not completely solution support.
Hi there! My name is Jonathan and I'm a member of Shopify's support team. Thank you for leaving a review for us today. We really appreciate hearing from our merchants! I'm going to take a look through your Google Shopping app and see if I can figure out what is going on with those products failing to sync to Google in a timely manner. I'll follow up with you via e-mail once I have a little bit more information! Keep an eye out for that message, Jonathan E. | Shopify Support Guru

It would be fine if it didn't always feed the highest shipping price through to google. Mentioned this to shopify but they didn't seem concerned and told me to look for another app.
Hi there, it's Jonathan from Shopify's support team. I'm glad you left a review about your experience! It's important that we hear from our merchants so we can ensure that the products we create for them actually work for them. While the Google Shopping app does use the highest shipping price to the Google Merchant Center, you do have the option to select Manual Shipping Settings. I think this would be a good choice for you, since we don't import any shipping data at this point and you have the chance to set up your data directly in the Google Merchant Center! I'm going to shoot you an e-mail and walk you through this process, so keep an eye out for that message. Talk soon, Jonathan E. | Shopify Support Guru

Unable to use. Instructions by Shopify appear to be inaccurate or out of date across several different pages.
Hi there, thank you so much for leaving us a review! My name is Jonathan and I'm a member of Shopify's support team. I really appreciate hearing from our merchants! Your feedback is crucial to improving the app. I'm sorry to hear that you found the information we have available to be out-of-date. That can definitely be very frustrating! If it's okay with you I'm going to follow up with you via e-mail and offer some new, up-to-date resources that I think you'll find much more helpful. Look out for e-mail soon! I look forward to talking to you. Jonathan E. | Shopify Support Guru

All kinds of errors in search console and merchant center around fields missing data. Data that is clearly set up correctly in the products settings. 0 ability to troubleshoot from the app.

If you don't mind, I'd like to follow up with you via e-mail and learn more about the errors you've received and see whether or not we can trouble shoot them together so we can get the Google Shopping app working for you.

Not working, will not approve any products in my inventory. Issue with barcode. Do not know how to fix. Wish it would be easy to add inventory. Facebook Shopping was a breeze to add no issue at all!
Hi there, I am Nidhi from the Shopify Support team. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on the App. All products are reviewed by Google and and it is important to ensure that they meet Google's requirements to advertise. Our handy guide here goes over the product requirements in detail - http://bit.ly/GSproductrequirements I can understand how it can seem confusing to get set up and I'd love to help make this a better experience for you. I will be following up with you via email to lend a hand with this, be sure to check your junk/spam folders too! I look forward to talking with you! Nidhi - Shopify Support

Useless app, as stated by countless others. Doesn't do a single thing for "active campaigns", other than let them sit idle.
Hi there, my name is John and I am member of Shopify's support team! Thanks for your feedback on your active campaign, just to let you know that it takes 15 days for Google to Optimise the promotional Ads as Google tests out the best way to promote your product's across Google Ad Network when you start a Smart Shopping Campaign and 30 days to be fully optimised. The longer a Google Shopping Smart Campaign is running the better results you should have overtime. I am going to follow up with you via e-mail to to discuss the overall experience you've had thus far and help with any errors or issues you are having. Please be sure to check both your inbox and your junk mail for the e-mail! Talk soon, John - Shopify Support

Just migrated to Shopify from WooCommerce. No issues with Google Shopping feeds while using WooCommerce but now this App caused many issues and removed most of my products from Google Shopping. What a HUGE waste of time.
Hi there, my name is Jonathan and I'm a member of Shopify's support team. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the Google Shopping app thus far! That's definitely not the experience we hope our merchants have. I'm going to follow-up with you via e-mail to hear more about your experience so that I can share your feedback with our developers, as well as offer support to make sure the app is working for you! Be sure to check your inbox and junk mail folder for that message. I look forward to speaking to you! Jonathan - Shopify Support

The app continuously removes all my products from the merchant center and shows them as pending in shopify. Google Shopping Ads are huge for us so when my products are removed out of nowhere, business suffers. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with the Google Shopping app, I can understand how products getting removed can hurt your business. We appreciate your feedback, and would love to hear more about this so we can do our best to help and share your feedback with our developers.
