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.

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.

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.

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?

I registered an account for the company. I am the owner. Full papers. They locked my account right at the start. It's difficult to use.

The app is good in theory, but terrible in practice. While I was able to install the app, it wouldn't let me create a Microsoft Advertising Account. As someone who has used Google for many years with zero issues, I see why Microsoft Ads get such a bad rap. I'm going back to Google and never looking back.

Tried unsuccessfully to add a payment method. Used valid information for an active card but it was consistently rejected for not containing valid information. After trying a few times I saw that my account had been suspended for Violation of Egregious Policy. Ridiculous waste of time although I probably should be happy. A process that starts this screwed up is not promising at all. Don't waste your time.
