Google & YouTube

My account got suspended as soon as I added this. I don’t even know what I did wrong. Do not install at any cost.

I became a Google Merchant in 2010 and at the end of March. When I launched a Google ADS campaign within a couple of days , it the same moment I connected my merchant account to the campaign I was immediately sent an email by Google stating that my merchant account had been suspended. Upon coming here to the review site I was astonished at how many recent 1 star reviews were posted by other Shopify customers with exactly the same result of Google suspending the merchant accounts under the exact problem heading of misrepresentation . Very disappointed for the lack of due diligence for Shopify customers who now have suspended merchant accounts caused by misrepresentation of what?? Nobody knows, at least that is what the other reviews say. Then answer from Google is also very vague and does not have any ideas on offering a solution to fix this serious problem

I reported tracking problems seven days ago, and the team hasn't made any fixes yet. Remarketing code is missing in the implementation, and begin checkout and add payment info conversions are not firing. So this channel isn't working as it should. Be careful installing this channel because if the tracking is not working correctly, the optimization won't work as it should, and you will lose your budget.

I've had nothing but problems since adding Google to my Shopify store. After carefully reviewing all the information on my website, all information is intact and not misleading. My website business email was rerouted to my gmail account in Feb it worked good. Now it's disabled??? Google Merchant error states my account is not linked but I have a Google Customer ID number? I continue to get emails from Google saying my merchant account is suspended? Vague with no clear explanation nor direction. This is extremely frustrating and time consuming with no results. As a solopreneur trying to maximize my website's visibility, this is not the best use of my time...HELP!

Broken after Google changed Merchant Centre data feed specification... https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/11905642?hl=en-GB In particular Shopify not delivering country sub-attribute... Provide delivery country sub-attribute: When providing the delivery [shipping] attribute, you now need to provide the country [country] sub-attribute to ensure that delivery prices are accurate. Item-level warnings ('Missing sub-attribute [country (sub-attribute of [shipping])]') have already been issued in the Diagnostics page to help merchants identify affected products and will move to errors starting today. This has resulted in none of our products being listed. Shopify please update ASAP

Hi, I need help, the GTIN of my thousands of products are not recognized, and consequently since a few days, no products can be active on google shopping, could someone please help me urgently, I will then update the review. Best regards

very bad experience. Not approving my product. It keeps showing pending. I made all changes but still not approved.

I have been using this app for nearly three years. There has recently, not sure how recent, been an update to the Google Shopping app that has changed to bulk editor. This change has not only increased the time to make bulk changes with an infinite scroll, but also while loosing some flexibility in the interface. Additionally, I noticed that a lot of my product attributes have been automatically changed without my consent. All of my apparel now says "infant" and all the genders on my clothing were switched to "Male". What a terrible experience. I will now spend hours correcting all this data. In addition to hours more spending on adding new items. Stop the infinite scrolling, bring back the page numbers for starters. It is too much data to compute with larger catalogs. Update on 6/1: This has been awful. The Shopify team reached out to me after my review, and after I spent over 24 hours of continuous work on my Google Merchant Center fields, to state they "fixed" the problems with the attributes shifting from Adult to Infant, and the Genders switching to Male. Their "fix" reverted all of my hard work back to its broken state of Male and Infant. I spent HOURS of my life changing them back to the right age group and genders. This has been terrible. Since I have highlighted this issue, their support staff has not responded to any of my follow-up. It's like they made my life more difficult and just forget about my business. Which has had an impact on sales due to this problem.

That app has gone from average to bad. This is because recent updates make the bulk editor unusable if you have more than 1500 products.
You cannot change the width of the columns, cannot filter and if the webpage times out you have to start from page one again. I have 162 pages of products so this is very frustrating. As such I am forced to pay money for a 3rd party app ( I am using 'Feed For Google Shopping'
by Simprosys InfoMedia) so I don't waste or lose money with my google shopping campaign.
I have advised Shopify Support of my issues and they said it was a caching issue with my browser...

I don't know how Shopify doesn't step into to help as this situation is ridiculous and we have no alternative and the lowest tier of support from Google. Their AI bot randomly flags products that don't violate their TOS. Items that's I've spend 10s of thousands of dollars advertising with no issue previously. The employees aren't able to override the bots and tell me to "use a work around" with a new productID... Oh, ok, let me just reset all the feedback and SEO to POTENTIALLY comply with your overlord bots. This is the suggestion/response that I get each time I reach out: Thank you for contacting Shopping support regarding your Merchant Center account: [XXXX]. I hope you are doing great. I have checked the account and found that 2 items are disapproved due to Violation of Shopping ads policy. We use automated systems to identify items that violate our policies. These checks are applied to all items for all merchants. I would request you to attempt a potential workaround for this as below:
You may change to a new title and description with more generic terms. You can try to mimic other Merchant's items description and title.
In my experience, some Merchants have success with submitting the disapproved products with a brand new item ID and description. This will allow the system to re-scan the item upon re-upload, which could potentially lead to approval. Note: Once, the information has update, re-upload the feed, as to refresh the product in Merchant Center. It may take up to 3 business days to complete the review. Items that are approved as the result of a review will be eligible to serve on Google Shopping within 24 hours. Here are some problematic offers:

We appreciate your relationship with us. Can you imagine treating any customer like this? I'd challenge you to name a customer service situation that is more ridiculous.
