The Google Merchant app is fantastic for exposing our complete catalog to audience searches. Initially, it felt a little challenging to set up, but once it was done, the process became very smooth. The integration with the app is simple and straightforward. This also helps us place ads on Google as well. We are really happy with the app. Thank you, Google!

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?

Il faut être patient et bien remplir les conditions selon Google ads et GMC pour que vos produits soient approuvés. Corriger les erreurs qu'on vous demande de faire, sinon vous serez rejetés.

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.

The app works well and is actually quite intuitive. It still requires some effort to learn but is a great piece of software.

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?

When pairing your business with Google, make sure you are completely compliant, they will help fix and any errors. They check your business top to bottom. That's a good thing,

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.

I've been getting error messages saying that my products are depreciated on Google Shop as they are missing certain values. Apparently this app does not fully sync with the metafields already built into Shopify. The only way I could find to do this was to manually input the metafields for each variant; and I have over 2000 products in my store. When I contacted their support, they never directly answered my questions and instead offered solutions to problems I didn't bring up. This app seems more geared towards businesses with less than 100 products in their store and their customer support is awful.
