This app is now really bad since the latest update. No longer worth it spending my money on shopping campaign
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us for the Google Shopping app! Our team works hard to improve our app functionality so I'd like to connect to see if there was anything we can assist with or simply take any additional feedback you may have! I’ve reached out to you via email, and look forward to hearing from you soon. - Alex, Shopify Support

None of my Shopify products are listed in GOOGLE SHOPPING because of GTIN IS MISSING error. I have my EANrecorded and/or ready to be input manually into the app, but the app doesn't show us where to enter the EAN.
Hey there, thanks for writing this review of Google Shopping! I'm sorry to hear you've hit a roadblock with this app. Any GTIN information (which includes EANs and other unique product identifiers) can be added via the product details or bulk editor in your admin in the barcodes section. I’ve followed up with you via email so we can take a closer look at this together. I hope to hear back from you soon! - Lauren, Shopify Support

Had several products disapproved upon downloading the app. After wasting time researching solutions, tweaking product pages to apply the seemingly needed changes and waiting for pending products to be reviewed, nothing has changed. The support team's help so far has been dismal, feels like the rep did not care about helping at all. Overall: a lot of time lost, very disappointing.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. Our team works hard to improve our app functionality so while the final approval of products is up to Google, I would like to look into this further for you. I’ve reached out to you via email, and look forward to hearing from you soon. -Lizzy, Shopify Support

Wanted to try this, and actually signed up for Shopify because I saw that it would of made it easy to work with Google had I done so. My store is based in the Dominican Republic, and Google Shopping launched here a few weeks back. Wanted to use the app but it won't allow me to select Dominican Republic because we are accepting USD, but when I select DOP it won't let me use it either. Does anyone know of a differnet App that will work with shopify and google in the Dominican Republic?
Thanks for sharing this feedback on our Google Shopping app! Currently this is a limitation due to Google Shopping still being in a beta phase for the Dominican Republic. This means that only select merchants are being invited by Google to participate. I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback with the Shopify development team and to see if can assist you further! - JP, Shopify Support

Did not load any of my products never worked for me. It sat there doing nothing at all. Deleted this app.
Thank you for sharing this feedback! All products available on your online store will be synced to the Google Shopping app. Typically, Google can take up to 10 business days to review and approve these products. That said, I’ve followed up with you via email so we can take a closer look at this issue. I hope to hear back from you soon! - Lauren, Shopify Support

WHile it is easy to use it does some bad things when creating the product feed. This includes using the shopify intern product id as the product ID in the feed when google wants that number ot be the product SKU. When google sees this it will disqualify those products. This product is dangerous.
Thank you for your feedback! When product ID is sent to Google, it does not replace the product SKU. Product SKU would be the GTIN from the product when it is being synced to Google. I’ve followed up with you via email in case you needed any further assistance on this. Hope to hear from you soon! - Alex, Shopify Support

DO NOT USE if: 1) You have a store located in California (this will send incorrect sales tax information to Google, which Shopify cannot fix) or 2) If you have any integration with Google Express or Shopping Actions (this will cause you to oversell out of stock items that cannot be backordered)
Thanks for sharing this feedback on our Google Shopping app! Currently, the app imports your tax settings from your Shopify Admin, so we may want to evaluate your current settings. The Google Shopping app is designed for running ads on Google Shopping does not send inventory tracking information. Apps that facilitate sales may not be able to pull the necessary information to track inventory properly. Feedback like this helps us improve our apps, so I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback with the Shopify development team and follow up on your tax settings :) - JP, Shopify Support

Do not waste your time with this App. Don't. It's free for a reason - it doesn't work. Think of it like this - how bad is the actual Shopify platform?.. Slow, bug filled, limited.. Horrific. Imagine if somebody who happily charges for a horrific product, then gave a junior developer twenty minutes to write a plugin - that's what happened here.
Hey there, Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we value your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to share it with us here so that we can continue to improve. I apologize for the issues you were having with the app and Shopify and would like to discuss further to see if I can help. I’ve followed up with you via email so that we can discuss this further and I can share your feedback with our development team. Hope to hear from you soon! - Alex, Shopify Support

I installed this app as the last version I had was no longer supported and forced me to change. This app over wrote my existing Google Merchant account and lost all history. My products were then suspended in Google shopping because some moron on in India thinks protein powder is a banned pharmaceutical. Nice work Google! Can't say enough about how frustrating it is to do business with you and companies that use support centers in India. I would give you a worse rating if I could but I will just move my ads to Amazon where they get triple the ROI of Google Shopping, I recommend others do the same. Of course this hurts your business Shopify team. Are you listening?
Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience with the Google Shopping app. I'm sorry to hear that it was a negative one. We're listening. I can see that some of your products were banned through Google's algorithm, and consequently, resulting in the account getting suspended. Based on your feedback, it seems that you've reached out to Google looking for a solution but they've provided limited answers. I understand how frustrating this can be, especially the old app was functioning normally prior to your transition. I've followed up with you by email to log your feedback for our developers. Hope to hear from you! -Jason, Shopify Support

Terrible App! It is difficult to use, has little to no information on how to use it and when you install the app and create Google Merchant account and Ad account they are then a sub account to Shopify. You CANNOT close them!! You are better off creating the Google accounts on your own, then you can control them! Stay away or suffer the frustrations and consequences!
Thank you for sharing this important feedback with us and I apologize that your experience with the Google Shopping app was such a frustrating one. You put your trust in Shopify to support your business, and this trust isn't a responsibility we ever take lightly. I can assure you that your feedback has not gone without impact and that it has reached the appropriate teams here who will be taking action on it. Thanks again for sharing your experience, it's feedback like this that allows us to learn and continue to improve our service, so we appreciate you for taking the time to share it. -Emma, Shopify Support

COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. This could not possibly be a bigger let down and in no way should be considered an "app" on Shopify. It's useless.

A completely useless app. Keep prompting to update my list of products and I have more than a thousand SKUs! All I need is a easy to use interface that can syn to my store..I do not want to waste time editing all my products just so it reads your language!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our teams are constantly working to improve our app features and functionality. We’d like to look into this further for you. I’ve reached out to you via email, hope to hear from you soon! -Lizzy, Shopify Support

This app is a sure fire way to demolish your sales. They publish the highest shipping rate only so it looks like it costs $100 to ship a bottle of wine (priority first overnight rate) instead of $12. They also have so many errors such as UTM missing when my products have barcodes. My products are not showing up correctly or are rejected.
Hi, there. Thank you for providing this feedback, we appreciate your time and value your experience. I'd like to work together with you to make sure that we get the Google Shopping app working for your business. With regards to the shipping concern that you mentioned, if you are using the automatically synced shipping settings from Shopify then yes, the highest shipping rate will be displayed. The reason is that shipping rates cannot be misrepresented. If Google sees a higher shipping rate offered on your website than what is displayed on your Ad, your account can be suspended. To clarify, you do have the option to either automatically sync your shipping settings from Shopify, or manually set these rates up in your Google Merchant Center. Rather than displaying the highest price that is offered for shipping, you can manually set up your shipping rates in your Google Merchant Center by following these instructions: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6069284 I've also reached out to you via email so that we can work together to solve any other concerns you have and I can make sure that your feedback is shared with our app development team. I hope to hear back from you! -Emma, Shopify Support

My lord this app needs to be fixed. There are so many issues - its such a pain to use. First off, dont sign in with an email with a domain you dont want to use again, because it will force you to use it unless you create another account. Next, it couldnt verify my domain, the products tab doesnt work it keeps taking me back to the main tab. Its just an overall mess. Disgusting.

Pretty useless. Doesn't seem to ever verify anything. Products have been waiting for more than a month to be verified, the Google account never gets verified either - and thousands of products can't be removed from the que unless you go through them one by one....
Thank you for sharing your feedback, we truly value your opinion and appreciate you taking the time to share it with us here so that we can make any necessary improvements. I’ve followed up with you via email so that we can discuss this further and I can then share your feedback to our development team. Hope to hear from you soon! - Emma, Shopify Support

FINALLY WORKS! FINALLY 8 MONTHS AND A WEEK IT WORKS. Shopify and Google had more than 7 MONTHS Oct. 2018 to get this FIXED, the first time users Oct. 2018 said this was JUNK and UNPROFESSIONAL CRAP! And still nothing changed 315 one star ratings! You know what changed is Shopify's PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP OF PROBLEMS NOBODY cares anymore and to let a 315 one star rated app remain in the app store tells you everything you need to know about Shopify in 2019, quality standards on ZERO and as for the Google engineers that stood infront on Shopify users and LIED about this app and the great engineers, programmers, product managers at Google who let this happen and continue on KEEP CASHING THAT PAYCHECK ON JUNK, TOP OF YOUR LINKDIN : I am very proud of the Shopify App - 315 one star ratings out of 418 users i developed over 75% of users rated it a one star loser, please hire me. Hey if all your products were approved for over 2 years 6 months and now and pending forever you ain't making any AD MONEY $$$$$$$ on Google Shopping ADs.

If you use your product variants for anything other than colors and sizes (i.e. special offers that you DON'T want published) you are out of luck. This app publishes all variants with no option to exclude. Shopify's advice - duplicate all your products and remove the variants! This is a huge mess for our inventory, customer service, accounting, etc. Forcing us to move to a new app without fixing this issue is very poor! What is an alternative to this app?
Thanks for sharing this feedback on our Google Shopping app! Currently this is a limitation due to Google Shopping's data requirements and the design constraints. Feedback like this helps us improve our apps though, so I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback with the Shopify development team. - JP, Shopify Support
