The app was working fine before, but I don't know when it changed, my id was fine, but it became shopiffy_ZZ_id. I can't understand why it became ZZ. This is a headache. I contacted the google support team, the support team told me to contact the merchant center team, the merchant center team told me to contact the feed api team, the feed api team told me to contact the support team. It's stuck in a cycle, each passing the buck, but no one can solve my problem, which is terrible.
Hi - you'll see ZZ_ product IDs as "multiple country" products. Instead of creating a new product ID for each country/market in Shopify, we will simplify and save them as a single ZZ_ ID. You're seeing these now because your old IDs were only targeted to a single country, but now we've upgraded you to multiple-market offers and these new ZZ item IDs are actually now targeting all 18 markets you have configured. This is expected and actually expands the reach of your products to many more markets than before. Earlier, you were only showing in German only. Now you're visible in all 18 countries in both English and local languages whereas before you were missing all the English-targeted ads customers. In summary, the ZZ prefix contains all your country and language combinations within it, and the app will keep these products sync'd now. I see that you installed another plugin to keep updating the old product IDs -- this will result in both sets of products being updated even though all your DE products are already contained within the ZZ products subset. So right now you have: -Google App updating all 900+ products for all 18 countries in all available languages - The plug-in updating all 900+ products in 18 countries for German only To see this, click into Merchant Center and search for your product 12014565597_42809152536797 then modify columns to see Countries and Langauges, and you'll see the old DE_ product ID in German only with an unoptimized title, but the additional ZZ products for all the countries and all the languages, and with our optimized titles.

By using this app, Google Analytics tracks way less purchases than Shopify. This makes it an unreliable platform. The connection with this app is not good.
We can only receive data for merchants that accept the consent banner during their checkout. If customers do not consent, we are unable to share the data with Google Analytics, since the Google & YouTube App integrates with Shopify's customer privacy API. This could explain why not all purchases make it to Google. This stems from the customer's consent choices and not an inherent bug with the App's integration. It may be useful to utilize a Shopify-integrated consent management solution to help address this scenario. If you have additional questions, feel free to file a support ticket at https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app or via Contact Support within the App
