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.

This App sends an incorrect availability to the Merchant Centre if stock is zero, but the item can be backordered. Instead of sending BackOrder to Merchants Centre, the App sends IN_STOCK.
Hi, sorry this makes the app unusable for you. We decided to make the availability "In Stock" when you click "Continue selling when out of stock" because on your Shopify website, this shows up as purchasable to customers. This behavior ensures what we show on Google matches the purchase behavior website. Not all websites show Backorder status as able to add to cart like you can set up on your store, and other stores may set it up that this backorder status simply shows as In Stock to a customer, so in those cases, us setting the status as Backorder and not In Stock could cause confusion for a customer clicking through the product but not able to check out, as well as negative experiences on ad campaigns. Basically, a merchant on Shopify settings "Continue to Sell" may mean the product is "In Stock", or "Backordered but Add to Cart" and we don't know. So we chose to go with the safest situation of "It's buyable, click this product" which ends up being In Stock in our database. If you could contact our support team, I'd like to understand the implications of this a bit more. It obviously seems important to you so I'd like to determine how important it is what we start including "Backorder" instead of in Stock when quantity is 0 but "continue to Sell" is selected.
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.
