Microsoft Channel

Error: bingshoppingtool-t2app-prod.trafficmanager.net’s server IP address could not be found Looks like this app may have been abandoned.

Microsoft channel has been a pain at this point because it is very difficult to integrate the app and install it on Shopify for use. I tried installing it and uninstalling it over and over again to see if it continues to work. It FAILS EVER TIME with an error "Error loading accounts: Request failed with status code 400" I tried fixing it over and over again, but it never works. On top of that it WILL NOT INTERGRATE WITH THE SIMPROSYS APP. Because it somewhat cannot find my advertising account. I'm at that point of giving up and moving on. MICROSOFT HAS FAILED. And I think it is due to the fact that it will not integrate with GOOGLE ACCOUNTS. You guys need to do better because you are wasting people's time and their money.

Product Last Sync Status = "Failed - Internal Error".

Extremely frustrating. I signed up for Microsoft Ads using the 'Sign up with Google' link, but the Shopify app DOES NOT allow you to 'Sign in with Google' - it simply says the account doesn't exist. WARNING TO READERS: DO NOT sign up for Microsoft Ads using your Google account! You'll end up in an endless conversion with support reps who don't understand the issue and don't even have the permissions to fix it.

After creating a new Microsoft Advertising account and completing the identity verification process, our account was automatically suspended without any clear explanation. Despite multiple attempts to contact support, we have not received a reasonable or detailed response clarifying the reason for this action. Our appeal was promptly rejected without further discussion or evidence provided. This experience is particularly frustrating given that we have been long-time users of Bing Webmaster Tools for over ten years and are active advertisers with Google, managing over €50,000 in monthly ad spend without any issues. We are deeply disappointed by the lack of transparency, communication, and customer care shown in this matter. While we respect Microsoft’s right to enforce its policies, we believe legitimate businesses should be given at least a fair opportunity to clarify or correct potential misunderstandings.

doesnt work properly:(

As bad as you would expect Microsoft to be. Its a pain to install, and is not even able to track revenue which you obviously need for your campaigns to optimize properly. support ist hell, super slow and not able to help. just avoid this all together.

Never works! Throws an error, gives no option to change the account you want to use. over complicated integration.

Just wasted my time. I spent 56 minutes with an Microsoft "expert" for nothing. He wasn't able to make it work.

Leider nicht sehr stabil die App. Habe mich mal mit einem falschen MS Account eingeloggt, seit dem kommt nur ein Screen der mich drauf hinweist dass mein Account nicht aktiv ist und versperrt jede Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Support hat nicht wirklich eine Ahnung für was die supporten - scheint ein allgemeiner MS Support zu sein - und neuinstallation hilft wohl auch nicht. Schade

I have multiple websites and this app would not let me override to the correct email address for the website. Pretty much a waste of time

I was hoping to run ads on Microsoft. In fact, I was excited to reach millions of potential customers. It's been almost two weeks. I've spoken with numerous Microsoft support staff and my account is still locks and the account is still being verified. I've submitted all the required documents, multiple times. I've asked for the documents to be reviewed by support to ensure that they are in good order. Microsoft support, while very professional and polite, can only recite policy back to me. It's interesting. I can copy the policy into a txt doc. upload it into the Microsoft web browser and have it read the policy for me. I'm confused as to what Microsoft support's job is. Rather than create a framework that supports my business, Microsoft has created an obstacle course. Don't count on it. When setting up an ad account with Microsoft plan for a 3 to 5 day account verification process. In addition, you might get your account banned on the day you set up your account, for apparently no reason. In order to get unblocked, you must wait an additional 7 to 10 days. It appears that most people have a smoother onboarding. Just be aware that things can go sideways. when setting up an account you get a marketing strategist that helps you out. In my case I need an account manager to unblock me.

I need to update this review. The App cannot even open in my Shop channel, I cannot get ANYONE to answer any questions, and it does not look like this app even works at all.

It says theres an issue, when i try to click on the link to solve it and every time it says it bugs to a blank page

This app is beyond garbage. I prefer Google, but figured I would give Microsoft a try and this app does not integrate well with Shopify whatsoever. Literally every button that was clicked would cause the app to crash. I tried to run an ad campaign and input my card and it crashed 5x in a row, which led to my account being locked. I tried to unlock my account by submitting my ID and the upload crashed several times in a row. Then they suspended my account and said we were being "suspicious." Yeah, not thanks. I will keep my advertising on Google and Facebook.

can't get my info up

Does not work. It tells you to login with the account you just used to log in. It repeats forever and you cannot ever fix it.

I wish I can give 0 to this channel. none sense!! greedy !!! they offer the free listing tab, and when i click on it, I don't see my products. this channel is strange and useless. what a shame

Update: I have now spent several hours appealing and calling support. They don't have any real people that work in the department. I would watch out for this app because they are taking a copy of your entire product catalog before they have even verified the account, and in my case they will not even get me a person to talk to. I feel like my data has been stolen from me and there is no one to talk to. I'm not sure what is going on with this app. I setup everything and followed the directions exactly. Right after the account is setup I get an email saying the account is suspended and blocked for unusual activity... This is before I have even done anything at all other than to add a credit card to the account. It says that 1,000 plus variants are submitted and pending but if I click on anything in the account it says my access is blocked. I submitted some kind of appeal not sure what it was where it asked for my business documents. I get a response from support suggesting it will take 10 business days. This is just a time waster. Use Google Shopping and don't waste your time. The support wasted another 20 minutes without any result or changes. I will update my review if and when I can get the products to show up. I have no idea why they would do this when I followed the directions each step exactly! I also had a personal merchant account that I can access under my account without any problems. I am a shopify store with your Microsoft app... what in the world is the problem?

Hi there, I wondering why our Microsoft Channel are not working and didn't show up all of our product
