This app has been unfairly voted down by people that I feel perhaps don't properly understand Google Shopping. The app exports your Shopify product feed and connects it directly to Google's merchant center so you can start publishing shopping ads. Having previously used Magento where we managed this process manually by exporting and uploading spreadsheets to Google merchant centre on a regular basis I can assure you this app provides a simple yet invaluable bridge between Shopify and Google Shopping and ensures our feed is always kept up to date. A little knowledge of Google Ads and Shopping Ads is probably useful, and I think this is the reason for many of the negative reviews. I haven't tried any of the paid for apps which I would assume provide additional extras for the subscription fee, but in a nutshell if you simply want to connect your Shopify product feed to merchant center then this is exactly what this app does with little fuss.

Love the app. simple yet powerful. Not sure why people are leaving negative reviews as well. Does take a few days to set up and get running. But once all of the products are approved it will do its thing. Had two sales within 72 hours and only spent $7. I can see where if you are not tech savvy you may get confused. However, its called using the resources provided by Google to figure it out. It links up directly with my Google Ads and GA dash boards. This is a must have if you want to be relevant in Google Shopping and Marketplace.

I am not sure why this app has so many negative reviews, honestly.. We have used other paid apps in the past and wasted hundreds of pounds on advertising (and the app subscription) and received no sales at all. This app is free and helps us get sales every single day. Thank you so much to the developer we are very grateful.

This was a frustrating product to get working. If I used Barcodes it will fail, so I removed them. Im sure you can fixit manualy. Shopify helped me a few times with Sync issues. using it for approximately 4 months. 90 day stats spend $320 in adds and 5K in sales. This is simple. For me I spend about $300 on facebook, with little return. I highly recommend it. Good luck

I can't understand why this app has so many 1 star reviews although it is free. I am very happy with this app and have many sales via Google Shopping from this app (over 20k). Thanks Shopify.

I was put off by the 1* reviews but I'm finding this app smooth and easy to work with. It's taking a day or two for Google to crawl my images which is fine, I can see the progress. I tried another app first and wasted a whole evening because it created GTIN codes for my products which Google had problems with. This app gives you the option to say your items do not have a code. I've high hopes with this one and look forward to my first campaign.

I like the ability to track dollars I spend against sales. I used this app to attract more viewers to my website.

I downloaded this after reading through MANY of the reviews and I'm really glad I did. I'm by no means a Google Shopping expert, but I've installed it today and already have all my products approved and eligible in my Merchant Center. I really think that it has a number of poor reviews are because people are expecting this app to do ALL the work in Google Shopping and that's not necessarily the case. It's extremely effective at being an API and bringing products into your merchant center to set up for approval. If you've ever tried it the old way when you had to upload a spreadsheet with the pertinent information, you will definitely appreciate this app. But that being said, you still have to be proactive about logging into your Google Merchant Center Account and identifying any errors it's kicking back. And you still have to have an understanding of the information it's going to ask of you in your Merchant Center Account and how to properly input the data. I read a lot of reviews that said their products have been in "pending" status for weeks on end, which I think is likely because they didn't go in and finish properly setting up each product. You have to add and input all the necessary information, and then it will feed that information directly into your Merchant Center account. Learn about Google Shopping first & THEN get this app.

The app makes it simple and easy with automatic feeds to Google shopping. I’m thrilled at the conversions we are having. Integration between my google ad dashboard makes the reports very easy to understand which products are successful. The Shopify app shows which products in the dashboard that have issues to fix before they show on the Google shopping ads. I used to manually submit feeds that were so time consuming. This is painless and seamless. Highly recommend the Google shopping app.

100% worth every penny! started at $5. Now spending $30 a day. Pretty sure by the end of summer I will be in a range of $50 a day spend! Results are amazing! thanks google

Good app for business development.everyone should use this app to develop business. Google shopping is best.use it

I am glad to leave a review for this app because it has helped me and my store to be visible for the buying clients.

Great app. If you know how to use this. This app will create automatic google feed which you can use for google shopping. So easy and useful. Highly recommend to all. You can get more help from Google staff and its easy for them as well when you use this app to creat a feed. Somehow it still shows pending status on app but google has confirmed that all products are listed. Something they need to see why it shows pending but in fact its already been approved. Other than that all good.

I really like this app and would really recommend. It's easy and6 ahve all what you need. Greetings ⇒ https://spar-king.com/

Our database seemed to already have all the information this app and Google Shopping needed. It took a little bit of set up and about a month to get everything approved by Google, but then: WOW. Our online sales doubled almost instantly from just a $5/day ad. Easiest money I've ever made.

must have app................................................................................................................................

I am shocked that this app has any bad reviews- it is free, gives you the ability to set up a smart shopping campaign that is also free, and generates ten times the revenue that any of the "google adwords specialists" that I paid thousands of dollars to ever did. Remarkably easy to set up, and has generated excellent sales in our first month that cost a fraction of what I was paying per conversion! Love it!

We are a doll etailer. We have two sites, one on Shopify. We have always (15 years) advertised with Google, 1st with PPC text ads, then display, then shopping and now Smart Shopping. Basically Google Shopping is a way to 'buy traffic.' It works for us really well, but I believe it's because we had so many years experience before hand. The good thing about the app is its integration with the store; it is incredibly easy to put products into the feed, easy to use analytics to see if it's working for you. The bad thing is that unless you really understand how Smart Shopping works, you can have significant negative ROI very quickly. Yes, you buy traffic, but you buy it for more than they buy from you. So our advice is use the app but: pick your best selling products only - not your whole store (do you really have to advertise red tee shirts and blue tee shirts?), go to the web and search for your products and see who is next to you in the ads and what their price is, only put into your daily and monthly 'budget' what you can afford to lose, and study your analytics carefully. Our current (Xmas 2018) ROI is $5 for every $1 spent. Our budget is $20 per day. There are days google doesn't spend our whole budget.

This app has worked amazingly well for my store. Once installed it is easy to choose which products to list on shopping. I found out to optimize the SEO title which is what will show in Google. I've made over $3 for every $1 spent so far so I'm very happy. I would wish though if it was easy to see which particular products are getting the clicks so that I can optimize what products I list. I cant really tell minus what is actually selling.

Adding the Google Shopping channel has been the game changer in our business. The majority of our leads come from Google Shopping. The app is easy to use and you can add products very easily I would recommend considering Google Shopping if you are looking to bring you business to the next level.
