Google & YouTube

May 8, 2023

Ich bin nicht nur vom Google Kanal, sondern auch vor allem vom Merchant Center mehr als enttäuscht. Sie legen einem Steine in den Weg, wo es nur geht. Ich empfinde dieses "Misrepresenting" und "entspricht nicht den Richtlinien" inzwischen als reine Schikane. Ich habe den Support des Merchant Centers bereits mehr als einmal angeschrieben und darum gebeten, dass mir konkret mitgeteilt wird, wo die "Fehler" sein sollen. Habe darauf hingewiesen, dass ich natürlich daran interessiert bin, eventuelle "Fehler" zu korrigieren...habe dies auch auf Verdacht gemacht, da als Reaktion auf meine E-Mails immer nur eine Standard-Nachricht kam, sodass man merkte, dass garnicht auf meinen Inhalt eingegangen wurde. Wie kann man Fehler korrigieren, wenn man nicht weiß, was angeblich falsch sein soll. Für mich sieht das eher aus, als ob das an den Haaren herbeigezogen wurde. Alle angeblichen "Produktfehler"von Google, die ich auf Gutdünken korrigiert habe (und per Screenshot festgehalten habe) und kurze Zeit verschwunden waren, sind inzwischen wieder und wieder aufgetaucht.....es werden fehlende Barcodes bemängelt, die alle vorhanden sind ...bei Tierfutter werden Altersgruppe, Gender etc. verlangt - was soll das?. Das Merchant Center scheint sich nicht bewußt zu sein, dass es damit Existenzen ausbremst. Es ist enttäuschend, dass kleinere Unternehmen, die mit einem Online Shop durchstarten wollen, somit erst garkeine Chance haben, ihre Produkte auf den Markt zu bringen. Für mich ist das reine Willkür

why were google metafields (category,sizes,colors,gender) removed on product page? is not an update but a downgrade. all products must be subsequently processed again. App no longer recommended.

So far, I am beyond not happy! I am not even going ot bother using this app. What a waste of time. I have close to 150 products and they ALL need to be reconfigured in Google for Google. And I mean multiple reconfigurations per product! So much for bulk editor. I spent all that time setting up in Shopify and now I have to do it all again? What's the purpose for the app? I could have just set up Google separately. Why am I trying to help Shopify make more money, if they're making more work for me to do it?

i am beyond disappointed. I am having merchant issues due to the GTIN, MPN, etc and adding these, which you have to do ONE BY ONE, does not fix the issue. Shopify is 70% of my income so now i'm faced with no option but to rush to another platform. I hope everyone else facing this issue takes legal action of some sort because this is your income they're messing with and it's unacceptable.

I got all my account suspend by google merchant. All my google merchant does not work now and when you talk to support, no one is able to help you on the shopify team. Furthermore, it creates new merchant account on google by itself. I am removing it .

April 26, 2023

I am very frustrated with the Google merchant center. My account gets suspended every time in try to post a product. I have had Shopify for two months with only two sales. Google isn't clear about what misrepresentation mean. I tried to follow the whole list still not difference, watch and tried a whole bunch of YouTube and still in the same place. Not sure what to do now. Please help with some constructive help not any vague details. The suspension still the same.Thanks

I have been having trouble with this new setup for weeks - have gotten absolutely nowhere, and getting my Merch on my Youtube channel has become a NIGHTMARE with no success - no longer user friendly!

It is a frustrating experience with the Google Merchandise Center. It's disappointing that my account suspension was not lifted, even after I made the necessary changes to my product details, business address, and contact information. It's also concerning that I did not receive any feedback on what else might be required to reactivate my account and that my attempts to contact Google Merchandise Center only resulted in an auto-reply. I'm seeking assistance from a Google Ads or Google Shopping expert who may be able to provide guidance and support in resolving my issue.

Sad to say this app is no longer user friendly. Even with all the errors I was able to at one point fix these errors quite easily. But not anymore. So I have just given up. Not going to hire anyone either. With everything small business owners have to deal with financially it seems like things are getting harder and more expensive for us for no good reason. Shame.

App is causing major issues when adding new products on shopify. The new products are not being picked up correctly by the app. Only by chance I spotted the issue in the bulk editor (which is a nightmare). I raised a support call with Shopify only to be told it is a google issue and speak to them. Poor show from Shopify. I will be selecting a paid app to manage the interface and may move away from Shopify if the situation does not improve. Please help rather than brush me off.

Like the others, we've been using this app for years with no issues, and now, with the update earlier this year, it's challenging to navigate adjusting items for your feed. Bulk editing is excellent, but there needs to be a way to make simple corrections directly within the product. It's ridiculous that we have to navigate out of the product to make a correction for our Google feed. I'm very frustrated with this as we have nearly 40k pieces that change by the season. Yes, my merchant success manager tried to help, we didn't get very far. Still, considering that what Shopify deems our categories should belong in is never anywhere close to where Google actually needs them to be just adds to the chaos. If we give it a few more weeks, Shopify will introduce a new paid app to fix this, as that seems to be what they do. :/

I would give zero stars if it was available. This app made all our products expire on google merchant and then removed them all(over 4000 products). It then just unlinked our account. Now we are trying to have the products added back onto google merchant with no luck. No help from support, nothing is working. No sales for the past 6 days and I do not know how long this will last. It is so frustrating. I hope we can find an alternative soon or else we are screwed.

This app is horrible. All of my products keep getting GTIN errors despite being custom products. This has been nothing but a headache for us!

April 17, 2023

We've used this channel for years with no issue. As of March 2023, our products have suddenly started expiring and causing errors on paid search. Waiting to hear from Google on this. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Help!

April 17, 2023

This app doesn't have options to edit attributes like "Item_group_id" or "identifier_exists". This results in countless GTIN issues that will drive you mad.

April 16, 2023

If you are a beginner, don't get your hopes up! You do not get with shopify any support and from google ... just forget it! super complicated and frustrating!

April 15, 2023

Very complicated. I was getting sales with Google before installing this app. Very frustrating and with a lot of errors that you need to know coding to fix.

April 14, 2023

Hello, i keep getting error with google merchant. 1 - I am unable to get past this error "54 products didn’t publish to Google View each product to learn how to resolve any errors." 2 - I am also getting this error "Missing value [shipping] in [Shopping_ads] [AU]. Pending initial review in [Shopping_ads] [AU]." Please provide guidance

We've used this for years with no issue. As of mid-March 2023, our products have suddenly started expiring!? Waiting to hear from Google on this, but seems many uses are experiencing the same issue. Help!

This app doesn't let you push the required Variants info to the merchant center. - The app appends the Product name + Variants options in the title attribute for content API by default - The "color" field is disabled in the Bulk edit page for variants. - "Custom labels" are disabled in the Buld edit page for variants. - missing Feed attributes on the Content API prevent you from fixing the issues aftermath using Feed Rules. - The product errors continue to show, even though you have fixed the issues. - The Store name is by default set as the Brand name and cannot be removed even if the products have no barcode and are marked as Custom products. Also, eventho the products are marked as Custom, the app still prompts you to add gtin/mpn codes. I would have expceted google to atleast offer all the required listing fields to shopify users.
