Google & YouTube

My products on The HBCU Alum have been "Pending" for 3 weeks now. A tad disappointed, as I hoped this would have been resolved by now.

I downloaded this after reading through MANY of the reviews and I'm really glad I did. I'm by no means a Google Shopping expert, but I've installed it today and already have all my products approved and eligible in my Merchant Center. I really think that it has a number of poor reviews are because people are expecting this app to do ALL the work in Google Shopping and that's not necessarily the case. It's extremely effective at being an API and bringing products into your merchant center to set up for approval. If you've ever tried it the old way when you had to upload a spreadsheet with the pertinent information, you will definitely appreciate this app. But that being said, you still have to be proactive about logging into your Google Merchant Center Account and identifying any errors it's kicking back. And you still have to have an understanding of the information it's going to ask of you in your Merchant Center Account and how to properly input the data. I read a lot of reviews that said their products have been in "pending" status for weeks on end, which I think is likely because they didn't go in and finish properly setting up each product. You have to add and input all the necessary information, and then it will feed that information directly into your Merchant Center account.

Learn about Google Shopping first & THEN get this app.

FINALLY WORKS! FINALLY 8 MONTHS AND A WEEK IT WORKS. Shopify and Google had more than 7 MONTHS Oct. 2018 to get this FIXED, the first time users Oct. 2018 said this was JUNK and UNPROFESSIONAL CRAP! And still nothing changed 315 one star ratings! You know what changed is Shopify's PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP OF PROBLEMS NOBODY cares anymore and to let a 315 one star rated app remain in the app store tells you everything you need to know about Shopify in 2019, quality standards on ZERO and as for the Google engineers that stood infront on Shopify users and LIED about this app and the great engineers, programmers, product managers at Google who let this happen and continue on KEEP CASHING THAT PAYCHECK ON JUNK, TOP OF YOUR LINKDIN : I am very proud of the Shopify App - 315 one star ratings out of 418 users i developed over 75% of users rated it a one star loser, please hire me. Hey if all your products were approved for over 2 years 6 months and now and pending forever you ain't making any AD MONEY $$$$$$$ on Google Shopping ADs.

this app us useless and does not work. I deleted the old app and added this app but this is by far the worst mistake!

I like the ability to track dollars I spend against sales. I used this app to attract more viewers to my website.

Data feeds expire in Google Merchant Center and the app didn't renew the feed at all. Not good. I saw a lot of complaints about this online. Why don't you fix it ?

DO NOT USE if: 1) You have a store located in California (this will send incorrect sales tax information to Google, which Shopify cannot fix) or 2) If you have any integration with Google Express or Shopping Actions (this will cause you to oversell out of stock items that cannot be backordered)

WHile it is easy to use it does some bad things when creating the product feed.

This includes using the shopify intern product id as the product ID in the feed when google wants that number ot be the product SKU. When google sees this it will disqualify those products. This product is dangerous.

Did not load any of my products never worked for me. It sat there doing nothing at all. Deleted this app.

I was put off by the 1* reviews but I'm finding this app smooth and easy to work with. It's taking a day or two for Google to crawl my images which is fine, I can see the progress. I tried another app first and wasted a whole evening because it created GTIN codes for my products which Google had problems with. This app gives you the option to say your items do not have a code. I've high hopes with this one and look forward to my first campaign.
