Could you help us? Our Shopify products are automatically generated with SKU numbers when they are synced to Google Merchant Center via the Google & YouTube app, rather than the SKUs we manually entered in Shopify. This has caused us significant difficulties.

Hello - we will utilize Shopify's Global ID format on product exporting, since they give a unique product and variant ID for EVERY product in your database, and it will be unique across the entire ecosystem. Since "SKU" field in Shopify is not required, and can be duplicated, it would cause issues in Google if we tried to use that as our unique identifier on products, since some products would be missing it, and others would be duplicated. If you need SKU to persist into Google, we'd recommend adding those values to the Google MPN field in Shopify > Products > Metafields > Google MPN. This would let you see this field in Google Merchant Center by adding the MPN Column in the all products view. Here is a handy bulk editor link to use: https://admin.shopify.com/store/_______your_store_name_without_the_myshopifycom_part______/bulk/product_variant?resource_name=ProductVariant&edit=sku%2Cmetafields.mm-google-shopping.mpn

Initial Frustration, But Ultimately Resolved Using the Google & YouTube app was initially an incredibly frustrating experience. My account was repeatedly suspended for supposed policy violations that didn’t exist, and every time I resolved one issue, another seemed to appear out of nowhere. At one point, my site was even flagged as "parked" despite being fully functional. Contacting support felt unhelpful at first, as the only recommendation was to submit yet another re-evaluation. That said, I appreciate that the support team ultimately resolved the problem fairly quickly, and my account is now back to normal. While the experience was rocky, I’m glad things were eventually sorted out.
Hi, sorry for the frustration. It looks like your website was flagged as being parked but 45 minutes later the flag was removed and you're live with no account issues.
