Used this app for a long time & it worked well, integrates seamlessly... until now. There's clearly a bug within the new phone number verification which keeps returning a 'too many attempts' error. I have been trying to get these shopping ads live for over a week. Super inconvenient & a waste of time. Surprised it hasn't been fixed by now. On top of this, the number is already verified with GMC! There has also been additional issues come up recently such as having a terms & conditions & refunds policies - when they already exist on the site the app makes you create additional ones. Please stop messing with this app and fix the bugs!

Using this app has caused me to be suspended by Google, and I haven't figured out how to sort it out yet. The associated feed from Shopify submitted attributes that cause issues with Google. And other attributes are required for certain categories, and I've yet to figure out how to customize it in a reasonable way. Shopify support is not helpful, nor is Google's. Very disappointing.

Support, Is there anyone there at all?! Or have you released a product and don't do support! I have contacted you several times with a request and no response at all, I am already silent to do something. I blocked with next my tasks and just second week waiting any reply from your guys. Releasing a product, give resources to maintain or take money for the product but do it with quality!

Google app acts as if it shows the products you tell them to show. Meanwhile they are showing random titles and descriptions with random products that are not listed for google ads. I recommend using google ads instead because this app is spending alot of money with 0 result.. (average click cost me 2.20? while in google ads i get them under 0,80)

Lyvisi Afriq Wear I moved to Shopify to see if I could get better traffic to my website through Google. I sell custom made goods and google has never worked with my website. Google continues to disapprove my merchant account. I feel that the entire process is a waste of my time, energy, and money.

It doesn't work. Products are constantly disapproved and its near impossible to work out the errors. It then tells you your google account has been suspended for policy violations. I'm "trying " to sell clothing, its non offensive, so there should be no issues.

Terrible app that consistently provides unending grief. Other than the sporadic "your product is disapproved because we can't reach your landing page", the app overrides the tax settings in Google Merchant to charge taxes in all states, even though that's not my configuration in Shopify or Google Merchant.

They just don't respond. All of a sudden this app took every coupon code I've ever made and added them to merchant center, giving customers 100% off using test codes I made. This caused a huge problem with our business, and so far, 7 days later, nobody ever responded to my support ticket.
Hi there, William from Shopify here, the situation you're describing definitely does not sound ideal so thank you for taking the time to review our app. Since this has store specific details that will be required to troubleshoot; what I'll do is reach out to you via email to discuss those details and get to the bottom of this request.

Un mes esperando a que me solucionen el problema, activan y desactivan los productos sin ningún sentido, muy mala sincronización con la cuenta de merchant, no lo entiendo al final todo es un producto de google con el que gana dinero de todos nosotros, no entiendo el mal soporte y la mala asociación con sus productos.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I chose Shopify because i wanted to direct more of my sales to my own website instead of using Amazon for all my sales. I was excited to use the Google App. I signed up in April and everything was going fine for a few days. Was getting good traffic and then Bam! I was suspended for Suspicious Payments. I have been trying to fix this but no one from Goggle will assist and tell me what is wrong or how to fix my problem. There is no way to talk to anyone. This has been very frustrating. If I am going to keep this webpage I need to figure out how to drive buyers to my site.

Garbage app misrepresentation is what they tell you so you have to pay. Spent 6 month's asking to review it and they give the same lame excuses it doesn't follow policies but they won't tell you how to fix it.
Hello there! Paola here from Shopify. I completely understand where you are coming from. Having your Google Merchant Center Account suspended due to misrepresentation can be frustrating and confusing. Although Shopify and our app has no participation in suspending your account (this is entirely up to Google and not Shopify), I am happy to share with you a bit of my experience and what you can do next to best address this issue. Hopefully you can take advantage of our Google Channel app soon. I will be reaching out to you through email shortly. Looking forward to chatting with you! Best Regards, Paola | Shopify

My experience with this app has been terrible. It hasn't made any difference since I signed up. My Google Ads Specialist didn't respond to any of my emails. I was informed the team is working on finding me a replacement. It's been 3 weeks.....

My google ads account was suspended for the very vague reason of "misrepresentation" so I call google support and the lady I spoke with says that I met all requirements and that nothing was wrong so I ask if she can fix it because it's urgent and she said I have to submit a request for review that could take up to 7 days... during my biggest sale of the year... BLACK FRIDAY!!! I am so frustrated I might move all my stores from google shopping. I can't begin to express my disappointment... I will lose thousands over this.

This app sucks. Been waiting to get approved for weeks now for the smart shopper campaign when its suppose to take 3-5 business days, tops. It Just says “pending”. Not sure why Shopify allowed this channel to be built if the developers do not respond and approve the issues listed here.

3 weeks waiting for google to approve my products, but I keep getting errors even if everything is well set up. No support from shopify - they send me to google, but google sends me back to shopify. This app is a joke.. and is also not well documented. You have to blindly guess where every issue is coming from, optional fields are actually mandatory fields (you will find this on your own time..), and the bulk editor for google fields is a joke - you have to go page by page in order to find a product that needs a option checked for google.
Hi there, William here a support specialist with Shopify. I see from your review that you've had some trouble getting your products approved and using the bulk editor. I also understand that the level of support you received was not at the standard you were expecting. I'm going to reach out to you via email to discuss the account specific details, please look out for my email. William | Shopify Support Specialist

I've been sturggling for about a month with my merchant account being suspended for "misrepresentation". They claim that when you're account is suspended, you'll receive an email with more details about the issue and information about how to fix it. The warnings are broad and leave you having to guess exactly where the problem is. When I've called the help center for more information, they've told me directly that their system is automated and not even they can tell me why my account is suspended. There is no way of seeing where an issue is and no information is provided about how to fix it.
Hi there, Cathal here from Shopify. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, we really appreciate it. Although contacting Google is the best way to resolve this issue, as the suspension comes from them, I'll be sending you an email shortly to explain some details that could help. I look forward to communicating with you there.

Do what we did. Ditch the google app. Move to a paid app which integrates with Google shopping centre and get support from a proper app developer who can help solve your feed issues. Google wont help you.
Hey! I'm going to send you an email to see exactly what happened, and see if we can get to the bottom of what's been going on here. Please keep an eye out for an email from me. Cíara | Shopify Support

It worked for two weeks very well. After that it stopped working. No visible reason. No exsisting troubleshooting site.
