Hey there! Amy here from Shopify Support, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. You can pause your ad from the Google Shopping App, by clicking on "view campaign" and then "pause activity" I will follow up with you via email with some screenshot so you can see exactly what you need to do and we can make sure we get this taken care of!

I tried for three weeks to use this piece of junk and the support team was totally worthless as you would expect from google. They offered no help whatsoever in telling me which hoop to jump through to get shopping approved. We should expect better.
Hi there! Amy here from Shopify Support. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I would love to talk to you further and better understand the issues you were facing to see what we can do on our end. I will send you an email to open up that line of communication! Amy - Shopify Support

The app does cut work out in getting the materials to google shopping; however, the freight integration is exceptionally poor. Google will choose the most expensive rate you have. You can manually override, but that takes the value of this integration app down quite a bit
Hi there! Amy here from Shopify support, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! Im happy to hear that you like some functions of the app. Though I completely understand your concerns on the shipping function, Google does pull the most expensive shipping rate. I will pass this feedback along to my development team. I'll also send you an email to open up the lines of communication between us and go over any other questions you may have!

Account suspended due to policy violation: Shopping ads policies No specific reason why Account was suspended! What do I check? Ofcourse I discontinued.
Thank you very much for your review here! While we don't have access to the specifics of why Google may have suspended an account, you can request that they review your account here (http://bit.ly/332qeWY). There is also very often a red banner which will appear in your Shopify account with a brief description of which policy might have been violated. I’ve followed up with you via email in case I can provide any further assistance on this. -Lizzy, Shopify Support

Worst App I've ever used on shopify. It automatically place the tracking code and changes the code from backend. I got frustated with this. Please use Google Shopping Feed in place of this.
Thank you for leaving this review. The Google Shopping app does automatically add conversion tracking events to your Google Ads account (http://bit.ly/2QmvrXd), however, I'm sorry for the frustration that this caused. I'm going to follow up with you via email so that we can discuss your store's set up further in regard to the tracking code you're trying to use instead. I look forward to speaking with you soon! - Rae, Shopify Support

Absolutely ZERO sales. Used this app for several months and spent several hundred dollars. Got about 100K impressions, but still no sales at all. ZERO ZILCH. Greatly Disappointed!! This app still has a long way to go in terms of making it more sophisticated and intelligent enough.
Thank you for taking the time to share this review with us! There are many factors that can contribute to conversions when using an ad campaign. For example the content of the ad itself, the landing page it leads to as well as the product for sale and product description. I’ve followed up with you via email so that we can look over your campaign and your store together to work towards bringing in sales! -Lizzy, Shopify Support

Very buggy. Constantly have to uninstall and reinstall for it to work. Support button does not work, message can never be sent. Google Merchant Center is a disaster in any case, but this app doesn't help. There's got to be a better way...
Thank you for sharing this feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've had with the Google Shopping app. I'd like to learn more about the specific problems you encountered, so I'm going to send you an email so that we can discuss this in more detail. Please feel free to reply directly to my email once you receive it so that I can take a closer look into these issues. I look forward to speaking with you soon! - Rae, Shopify Support

Over the last 2 weeks 446 of our produts have been disapproved for the reason 'Product price does not match the price on your product landing page' We have not changed any pricing, and it is the same campaign which was working perfectly for us two weeks prior. We have submitted the Google Site map again, contacted Google Ads support, Shopify support, but not been able to resolve the issue. It doesn't even indicate how to solve the issue. Few weeks back we were ranking high on Google Shopping Listing Ads for several keywords, and now even though we have put in sufficient budget, our presence is reduced and products disapproved for no apparent reason. Please help immediately.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with your products. I can see that you currently have a ticket open with our Technical Support Team who have been continuing to monitor the situation. I've checked in with them and it looks like they've responded to your most recent email. I know you've spent time speaking with our team, however I have reached out to you via email to see what we else we can look into together. I hope to speak with you soon! - Ryder, Shopify Support

2 weeks ago, 700 corrupted and duplicate records were added in Merchant center and neither Shopify or Google are able to help. This app is how we forward our prods go Google so I am highly suspecting it as the cause of trouble.
Thank you for sharing your review with us. I'd like to investigate your interactions with our team so far, as well as look into this further with you. I will be reaching out to you via email shortly to continue the conversation! -Lizzy, Shopify Support

A real nightmare... Maybe usefull for small store with very few and common items AND at the launching time of the website. I have 1000+ items with troubles in my shop... So it's totally useless. For example : 1001 products didn’t publish to Google Shopping View each product to learn how to resolve any errors. Id product identifier issue: your product identifiers aren’t accurate..
Thanks for sharing this feedback with us. Based on the error you mentioned, it sounds like some of your products may be missing the required information (http://bit.ly/35H2pGQ) needed for products to be properly added to the Google Shopping channel. I'm going to follow up with you via email to make sure each of your products has these details added, and provide more assistance with getting this app set up. Looking forward to speaking with you soon! - Rae, Shopify Support

Super confusing and unhelpful. Had to remove it and do things manually. Buggy and slow. Not easy to work with, save yourself time and do it yourself.
Thank you for providing your feedback and I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find the Google Shopping app to be useful. I'd be interested to hear what you found difficult about the app, and if there's anything I can do to help - if indeed you'd be interested in using the app again in future. I'll be sending an email shortly to touch base with you, so please look out for that and shoot me a reply if you'd like. Thanks again. -Victor, Shopify Support

I am having the same experience noted by another reviewer of Shopify's "Google Shopping" app on Aug 26, 2019. He wrote: "I installed it recently and I launched a campaign which is automated of course. However, after the products were approved and the campaign started running there was no information on the admin panel about the amount of ad spend." He then went on to explain he used another app to find out that he was indeed being charged for ads! Using this app, I started an automated campaign 2 days ago and got a message on the admin panel that the ad was approved and active. No more information after that. I sent a message 5 hours ago asking for help through the Shopify "support" button on the Google Shopify app page 5 hrs ago and no reply yet. I can't recommend this app given that I may be spending money but have no idea if I am or how much! I'm going to give Shopify 24 hrs to respond and if it's not fixed, cancel my ad and try a different approach to advertising on Google. This is unfortunate because the Shopify Academy course on using Google for E-Commerce was very helpful for general information. Unfortunately the poor performance of the Shopify Google Shopping app means I'll need to implement Google ads in another way.
Thank you for sharing your review with us! To help out, I just wanted to confirm where the ad spend total will appear in your Shopify admin. You will be able to view all the details of your campaign under Marketing>the Specific Campaign>View Report. I will also be following up with you via email to help look into the ad spend further. Thanks again! -Lizzy, Shopify Support

Unable to add identifierExists to the feed.. So anyone with custom products suffers because you can't add 'false' to the value. Any errors in the merchant centre costs £££ www.annalise.co.uk
Thank you for taking the time to write your review, it's much appreciated. The app can sometimes throw up some errors and knowing how to resolve them might not always be clear, so I'm going to send you an email shortly to find out what these errors are and I'll see if I can help you with them. Please keep an eye out for my email and I look forward to hearing back from you. -Victor, Shopify Support

Absolutely the worst Google Shopping app. We installed this app after launching our site. Immediately our Merchant Center Account was suspended due to "policy violations:shopping add policies." After reviewing, Google states we are missing product data. How is this possible if Shopify has all Google fields populated? Contacted support and got generic support answers I could have got from Google. Two weeks after launch and we can't upload to Google and our Google Merchant account continues to be suspended. This just got uninstalled!! Don't waste your time on this app, unless you want your Google merchant account suspended for no reason!!!!
Thank you for sharing this review with us! A Google Merchant Center can sometimes become suspended following a connection to your Shopify store if you don't have any contact details displayed on your site. This is due to the fact that Google has strict guidelines for displaying contact information on a customer-facing website. I’ve followed up with you via email so that we can continue to look into this with you. I look forward to speaking further. -Lizzy, Shopify Support

Unfortunately, like many other people here who is complaining about their wasted time and energy... I feel the same and so I give up. Shopify gurus cannot help much either! It's hard as well to gamble with money placing ads ($5 a day for 30 days!) without seeing how the ads really looks like if I click publish when making a campaign. Why they don't make this easier for us? since we are going to pay for the ads anyway.
Thank you for leaving your review and I'm sorry to hear that you've not received the help you were looking for from our support team. I can appreciate why this inability to see what the ads look like before you publish them was problematic and I'd like to discuss this further with you to see if I can help. I will be sending you an email shortly and look forward to hearing back from you on this matter. -Victor, Shopify Support
