Products show up as pending even though they've been approved in my Merchant Account. There was an error with the initial sync which google fixed at their end. Overall, this doesn't seem to be a very slick app.

This app is garbage, don't waste your time. All products say pending forever. After a long time I've gotten the message: Due to a high volume of requests, it can take up to 10 business days for Google to approve a pending product. Any products with errors won’t appear in your ads. - This message has been there for weeks now. The app is completely broken.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to share it with us so that we can improve! I've also reached out to you via email to discuss your experience. I hope to hear back from you! - Emma, Shopify Support

Todos os meus produtos estão como pendentes dentro do app no Shopify. No merchant center eles aparecem, mas sempre estão com algum erro. Precisam revisar a funcionalidade deste app urgente! Isso explica o porque de tantas avaliações negativas.

Doesn't work. SHAME ON YOU SHOPIFY FOR WASTING ALL MY TIME! After 2 weeks products still pending. Started campaign that was supposed to be for 7 days only, but still "Running" after 2 weeks. Google ads shows that campaign is "enabled". Took me a few days to correct my site so that ads are all approved by Google, but STILL NO CAMPAIGN RUNNING. What a WASTE OF TIME. After MUCH WASTED MONEY and 22 months later, finally realizing that Shopify is a scam!

This app doesn't work very well. I've allowed this app to sync my products from Shopify to my Google Ads account but for some reason it only shows pending, and when I checked them on my Google Ads account, it says that they've been disapproved and it wants me to modify 600 products that I thought was going to smoothly sync into Google. So what I did was just made all my products unavailable to Google Shopping and will just resort to other ways to market my store and products.

This ain't it chief. It truly astounds me that Google can't even build a functioning integration with Shopify without breaking your Google Merchant account. It's even more astounding that there are plenty of independent teams that can build something that not only works, but works extremely well

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

I have been trying to run an ad for 29 days. I was hoping to also get the $25 credit for using their services, but because they couldn't get their app to work I am no longer eligible for the credit. It says it takes 3-5 business days to approve a product/ad, I'm considerably outside of this time frame. I would just like my ad to show up on Google.

Never worked, products stuck in pending and there is a notification that is could take Google 10 days to review but Google support said the products never made it to them. Started a campaign somehow, wasted a bunch of money on who knows what it was advertising.

I am using this app at the present time. Easy to install and easy to use. However, I am really hating this app because it does not work to well in terms of adding and populating products to my webstore. The products that I add keep getting stuck in 'Pending' limbo status as I like to term it; and staying in that 'Pending' status. I am hating this because this 'Google Shopping' app is not coordinated and not in sync with my 'Google Merchant' and 'Google AdWords' accounts. My products are already approved with my said accounts with Google yet they are still in pending status with my 'Google Shopping'. Why do I bother?
Thank you for providing us with feedback on the Google Shopping app! If you ever see your products showing as approved in your Google Merchant Center but indicating pending in the Google Shopping app, that is a great time to contact Shopify Support as our technical team can assist with a status sync to update the Google Shopping app. Having said this, I have sent you an email to see if there is anything I can assist with. Hope to connect soon! - Alex, Shopify Support

Installing this app is the worst thing one can do to his/her online shop. It is inexcusable that this app is provided by Shopify and there is a complete lack of support in dealing with all the issues created by the app. The only support I received was to be directed to Google support. If you have the "unsupported version" of this app, keep it. To save yourself frustrations and money, do not install the new one.
Hi there, thank you for providing us with feedback on Google Shopping! I'm sorry you didn't receive the level of support you needed when using this app so I have sent along an email to collect your feedback and provide further assistance on this. - JP, Shopify Support

Terrible Terrible Terrible!!! Customer Service is the absolute worst. Nobody helps, all they tell you is to wait and wait. It's been over a month my products have been pending. This is ridiculous!
Thank you for providing us with feedback on the Google Shopping app! Products being stuck in the pending state for over the 10 day estimated timeframe can be quite frustrating. Google needs to review each product variant individually and Shopify has very little control the time frame. Our team is always looking at ways on improving the functionality of our apps your feedback is much appreciated! Having said this, I have sent you an email to see if there is anything I can assist with. Hope to connect soon! - Alex, Shopify Support

As with most people's experience with this awful app, it is an example of technical incompetence and lack of communication at all levels. Use Google Merchant directly avoid this middleman!
Thank you for sharing this feedback with us on the Google Shopping app. Our development team is constantly working to improve the functionality of the app. We have made many improvements since the time of your review so hopefully they were able to help with some of the issues you were having. Having said that, I've emailed you to see if we can look into specifics on what you were having trouble with as well as find ways to improve the app. I look forward to connecting with you! - Alex, Shopify Support.

All products stuck in pending, it never worked for the store. Google actually suspended my merchant account because of this.
Hi there, I just want to say thank you for sharing this feedback with us. And I'm sorry to hear your account was suspended, I'll personally email you about this to see if I can help out. From what you have mentioned above, I believe this might have occurred if some specific information was missing on your products. I'm going to discuss this more on the email. Thank you. Niall, Shopify Support.

The worst. Just use Google Merchant Center. Products stuck in pending status for months. It is useful to sync but that's about it.
Hi Mystic World Finds, firstly, thank you for sharing this feedback. I will also email you directly to see if I can help. This could have occurred if a few aspects are not present on your products, for example the product category or a unique product identifier such as a barcode (GTIN). You should get an email from me soon and I'll discuss this further, thank you. Niall, Shopify Support.

Products are "Pending" for more than a month. Totally useless. I would give it a zero rating if I could.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. I'll also be emailing you about this to see if I can help out, but at a quick glance, this might have occurred if the following was missing on your products: the product category or a unique product identifier such as a barcode (GTIN) or manufacturer part number (MPN). Regardless, I'll follow up and see if I can help you out. Thanks. Niall, Shopify Support.

Well, it's not a totally useless app anyway. But it just mystery unusable sometimes somehow. And when you ask the support, they just told you "It's Google, not us". For me, I know Google didn't do anything for the issue. I can tell.
Thanks for taking the time to share you feedback about the Google Shopping app! I'm sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with the app, and I'd like to investigate this further. I’ve reached out to you via email, hope to hear from you soon! - Lauren, Shopify Support

Same as everybody else, does not work. Mostly pending products and some disproved for no good reason. Would like to see Google offer a better Free App although it looks like paying is the only option to get good application.
Hello Speech Products, first, I'd like to say thank you for sharing this feedback as it is important to us. We do look at these frustrations and try to learn from them. I will email you as well to look at this in more depth as your products should be approved and functioning as intended now. Thank you! Niall, Shopify Support.

Terrible app. So many pending product. We wasted 1 month waiting on pending products. PLEASE BRING BACK A USEFUL GOOGLE APP. THIS DOESN'T HELP ADVERTISE & PEOPLE WILL START LEAVING ...
Hello GiftworldStyle. Thanks very much for this feedback. Based on the description you have: "So many pending product. We wasted 1 month waiting on pending products." This could have happened if a product category or something similar is missing on the products. To delve into this more, I'll follow up by email and see if I can help you out. Thank you! Niall, Shopify Support.
