Zero Stars for this app! I have been talking to google support person, Kate for weeks now and my account has been suspended because I changed my url domain name. my store has been online for over a year and all they say they need is my drivers license for verification. I have taken the pictures at least 5-6 times and sent to Kate for review, Finally she said this one will do and get approved. Then I look and there is all of these other issues and she said that they will disappear after I am accepted again. Immediately after submitting my drivers license upon Kate's approval I am denied again. This app is a bunch of crap and will get your store kicked off of google and as far as I'm concerned google is nothing but a headache and LIES! They LIE TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING! Good luck with your store, because over a year and endless hours of hard work and no sleep has gone gone the drain. My store is over because of google.

Vor kurzen haben wir unseren Shop zu einer neuen Domain volmer-clothing.com umgezogen. Das wurde im Merchant-Center auch für ca. 1 Monat akzeptiert. Seit 3 Wochen erhalten wir Fehlermeldungen - u.a. "Der Domainname Ihrer Website muss mit dem hochgeladenen Domainnamen übereinstimmen". Die Domain ist im Merchant-Center verifiziert und beansprucht und in den Feeds korrekt angegeben.

I have had many problems with conversion tracking, in Google sometimes the status of my conversions is "Active" however, then alerts start like: "Requires attention - Enhanced conversions requires your attention" and "Inactive tag", so far I have not obtained a solution or satisfactory answer on how to solve it, I check my configuration and everything is configured correctly, I do not know what to do anymore, I have had a negative impact on my campaigns and sales conversions

This app has been extremely frustrating to use. I’ve spent a lot of time filling in ‘missing’ information using the bulk editor, only to find that changes often don’t save properly, meaning I have to manually re-enter details. I also contacted customer support about a ‘Mismatched currency in delivery information’ error affecting all our listings, but received no response. Overall, the app is overly complicated, with a poor user experience and no support. Thousands of merchants are spending their advertising budgets on this platform, so it’s disappointing that Google has not prioritised fixing these issues or providing adequate service in return.

Shopify no me deja vincular Google Merchant Center porque dice que no soy superadministrador PERO SI QUE LO SOY. Tanto en shopify, como en Google Merchant Center y en el perfil de empresa de Google ¿Qué puedo hacer?

Diese app ist eine Schande für google - auch wenn sie kostenlos ist - funktioniert hier nichts wie es soll - am besten man meidet diese app - man erhält nichts außer Kopfschmerzen - support gibt es nicht ...

When you first set up it seems ok, wait until you add new products to your range though?! As Google confirmed to me in writing "this app is full of bugs, we sorry for issues caused". The issue is that the app automatically creates new product sales channels (and products) for random countries AND worst of all completely messes up the existing product feed. We 'lost' products which were running for 18 months and had to 'start again' meaning every asset group within our PMAX ad portfoplio needed to be duplicated and done again to point the new product to it. Hours of work.

Video doesn't work - you can add one product image, but the themes all require multiple images!

Impossible to get any advice from Google support. They don't answer but only copy and paste their scripts. The nicest answer was that it was too complicated to help solving the problems in the Merchant Centre. Could not tell me WHAT misrepresentation caused the suspension due to privacy rules (???????)

In the Google & YouTube plugin, some previously generated and uploaded primary data sources in GMC (Google Merchant Center)—for example, the one with the country set to Australia, named “Shopify App API,” and with the Feed label “AUD_13723795709”—have recently shown a product count of zero (estimated to have occurred between August 22 and August 25, 2025). Meanwhile, the system has automatically generated and uploaded new similar primary data sources to GMC. Notably, the product count in the new data sources is exactly the same as the count in the original sources before they were reset to zero, and all historical product data has been preserved. This indicates that the products were in fact automatically migrated from the old data sources to the newly generated ones. Only some of the main data sources have this problem, while others do not. The main difference between the data sources lies in the target countries. The question is: Why does the plugin automatically generate new primary data sources?

So far, not great on the 'experimental' facets.... i.e. can't select multiple images and the generation tool doesn't do it's job. Even as a beta, this is poor.
