Waste of time, constantly suspending my online shop, and no support to solve the problem.

i advise everyone not to waste time with this app and google shopping, i spent years building a store and one fine day they will suspend google merchant and your ads without any reason, emails are sent automatically: we found a bug, we found a bug,... endlessly repeated, no friendly cooperation with this platform, i spent time and effort working and complying with hundreds of policy violations and in the end got nothing worthwhile, advertising prices are getting more and more expensive due to competition from other platforms, most of our profits are paid for advertising and the effort to build is in vain.

Hi, make sure you don't have any linked, or previously linked, ads accounts suspended - this can often trigger the Merchant Center suspension if that Ads Account suspension is not resolved first.

Riddled with weird bugs. Its still not generating any GA4 events and Google flat out said they are not supporting the plugin and will not answer even simple questions, like "does your plugin generate events".

I try and not ever leave bad reviews as a small business owner however in this case I feel I have to. I can honestly say I have tried everything with this app and the support from Google who blame Shopify is as bad as Shopify's support blaming Google. I can easily connect all of my ggogle accounts, merchant center, analytics and ads and everything looks to be somewhat accurate but my products WILL NOT sync to merchant center, no errors, no wrong information they just do not sync either in the shopify app or in merchant center. Shopify have clarified that all information is correct and it should be syncing, google just blamed Shopify what a joke! By taking three days at a time to respond to emails, you are literally costing businesses money.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. It looks like you were stuck because there were no shipping rates for products set up under the General Shipping Profile. We're updating our messaging on the app to be more clear about what this scenario is and how to fix it. For completeness, for a product to sync, we will need the product opted in AND shipping rates set up in the General Shipping Profile. Products would not sync if we are missing the shipping data (like when custom rates are being used, or using a third party shipping app with no backup rates configured). You can either add General Shipping Rates in Shopify settings > Shipping and Delivery, OR change the Shipping Sync in the app to Manual and go configure rates in Merchant Center directly. Again, we will update our app messaging to help explain this better from the start. Glad we could get you running again!

Hi - make sure you have any linked Ads Accounts set up in good standing. This could trigger manual policy reviews as well.

It was working fine until recently; my purchase conversion stopped tracking. GTM is not showing up on the post-purchase page. I am also receiving an email to connect my Google account and Google Ads account, even though everything was already set up. Additionally, there are no Google account and Google Ads account to connect. The app only has Google Merchant Center and Google Business Account available.** I hope that helps! If you're still facing issues, it might be a good idea to double-check your settings or reach out to support for further assistance.

Hi - I've reached out to you via your recent help ticket to investigate further. It looks like products are coming through, but in each ticket a component may not have been getting updated, or only the local was having an issue. You'll see a response from us today to dig into this further with you!

We've set the app up as instructed. The Conversion data in Google Analytics is way off actual. We've contacted Google regarding the issue and they have basically said they cant help. Hopeless!

I installed this in two stores. It was bad in one and terrible in the other. Only part of the data (events) they claim will go into Google Analytics actaully does. Support for it is non existent - you get bounced between different Goole support teams and no one knows who's supposed to help make this integration work.

Our Shopify website has correctly installed the "Google & YouTube" tool, but when tested with the "Pixel Helper," the "Google & YouTube" tool shows as "Loaded." However, performing actions such as opening product pages, adding to cart, and checking out always displays "Events received" as "0." This issue has persisted for several months and is severely affecting our store.

I am not able to select a target country and language, It doesn't show the options so I cant click anything and it doesn't work to write anything in that line either. I am just stop in the setup process because of that so this app is not working for me. And yes I have tried on multiple devices and waited for weeks and checked again and it's the same problem.

Hi, have you sent us a ticket on this yet? The drop-down populates countries based on the currency of your Shopify store. If you're using ISK/Iceland as your store currency, this doesn't look to be supported by Google Merchant Center yet https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/160637 If you have Markets and Shipping set up to countries outside of Iceland, we hope to give you the ability to select those instead of Iceland as your markets by the end of the year, which would unblock you.

**Please read** I usually avoid leaving negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience to help future customers. Google Merchant is a nightmare! Their approval process traps us in a relentless cycle of frustration. We fix "Misrepresentation" issues only to face repeated demands—domain accuracy, broken links, placeholders, mismatched product details, and incomplete site info. It's an enormous waste of time and resources, hindering our business growth. Despite being verified on Instagram with a blue check mark, Google still complicates our merchant account with endless hoops. Their process is inefficient and infuriating. We need real solutions, not perpetual problems. Avoid Google Merchant if you value your time and sanity!

Hi, sorry you ran into some issues. I took a look at your Merchant Center account, and once your new products passed their initial review (which took 24 hours), it seems that you only had a few products that could not have their images processed; the rest of your items are all approved and serving. Our app is meant to connect to your merchant center account through a 1-click experience - this means we will connect to your Merchant Center, claim and verify your domain automatically, and sync your products. If you could contact us and give me more information on where you fell into these issues, it'd be great to fix these gaps in our flow. Since your account is connected and running properly, I was unable to pinpoint any existing issues and it looks like your account was connected, up, and running within 48 hours. Send us some feedback here, since I wasn't able to find any help cases you had already submitted: https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app

Most pathetic. They have flagged my site as misrepresented. I’ve checked, rechecked and raised queries with them. They have generic answers and have zero merchant support. I’ve wasted a whole week on this pathetic no good app

This app is garbage. When setting up there is no option to add an existing Google Merchant account number, you can only create an entirely new google merchant account. This leads to an endless loop of Google/Youtube saying my domain is owned by another merchant. And the Claim Ownership function doesn't work. So it's imposisble to get my Shopify store ads under my Youtube channel.

Hi! Sorry you think that. If you're trying to link a Merchant Center account, that you are the admin of, but it's not showing up in the drop-down, you can send us a message and we can help link it pretty quickly! It's Get Support link in the app, or the URL below. https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app

I get why all the one star reviews are coming It's because this app works completely different depending on what Shopify Payment plan you are using it works superbly if you are on Shopify Plus, but if you are using any lower plans the entire UI of the app changes to give you a worse experience... We run multiple Shopify shops and cannot recommend this if you are not on the Shopify Plus plan

Hi - this is concerning to hear. We don't change our app based on your Shopify payment plan. We don't even have access to pull the plan you're using. Could you drop us a ticket at the link below and include a screenshots of the different UI experience you are seeing? We'd like to resolve this for you and ensure ALL users of our app have the same access to all of our Google features https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app

I thought that since Shopify was an integral part of Google, the integration would be quick and easy, on the contrary, terrible service, customer support and vague automated responses. I managed to set up Google Merchant Center through this app, and my account was automatically suspended on the second day, due to "policy violations" with no clear explanations. Without direct communication, only by email it takes days for an automated response that is not understood. The reasons given, such as "the website needs improvement" and "misrepresentation", are vague and, despite my attempts to resolve these issues, I have received little to no help from Google or the app's support team. It is frustrating and I still do not understand why my account remains suspended. I have tried to fix this but the lack of clarity and support is disappointing. I was expecting a smoother experience from a platform integrated with Shopify, but instead, it has been a headache.

No conversions or events of any kind are sent to Google, and Shopify provides absolutely zero support. Google also provides zero support. Why even have this? Who is it for, people that don't need to track data?

Horrible experience. Since migrating to the app they have flagged my store for several issues. Customer service was a nightmare. Now that I have that fixed after destroying my Google ads account for nothing.. The app has no longer reported sales to analytics for about 3 months now. I have opened a few support tickets but they aren't helping. Reading the reviews I can see several people share my nightmare. Update: I have opened at least 3 tickets with that link over the past 3 weeks and am told that the department will not help, and that the issue is with Shopify. Can someone please contact me?

Hi, sorry to hear about your experience. For your conversion tracking issues, please check https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12002338 for help in troubleshooting your currently managed tags. We aren't seeing usage of the GA4 tag (the Google Tag Assistant is a good tool to check this), so that article has some initial troubleshooting steps to validate. I've also responded to your case privately -- the methods for conversion tracking are different when using Google Analytics natively through the Google & YouTube App vs Google Tag manager vs manually. For the product and account issues you saw, it is true we do not support certain types of products, which is a Google-wide policy and not just an app issue https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6150138
