Merchants describe this app as easy to set up and connect, even for new or small businesses. It reliably syncs large product catalogs to Google, quickly boosting visibility and traffic from Shopping and other surfaces. Many use it to run ads and track performance in one place with clear reporting. Merchants also value its help in building compliant, well-structured feeds that improve product data quality and organic reach.

I used this app and shortly after my Google My Business profile was suspended. The only thing that changed was using this app. We've had no problems since 2014. Google won't tell me what their problem is now. Awful customer service. We're a brick and mortar bookshop and absolutely qualify. I can only assume this app is to blame. I would avoid it like the plague.
Hi there,
Charlotte here from Shopify. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with the Google channel app. The Google Channel is used to sync product information to your Google Merchant Centre and Google Ads accounts. The channel does not have an association with the Google My Business part of Google's platform, and we do not sync any data to those account types. I'll be following up with an email to open up the lines of communication to see if there is anything I can do to assist you.

Just after installation, account suspended for misrepresentation. Now 14 days in and repeated calls with promises of call back .... still nothing and our competitors now have a serious edge =(.
Hi there,
Charlotte here from Shopify. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with the Google channel app. I am sorry to hear that Google suspended your account due to misrepresentation. Unfortunately we do not have control over Google's policies, and how they interpret suspensions such as these. I'll be following up with an email to open up the lines of communication to see if there is anything I can do to assist you.

Last year in 2021, I rated this app a 1 star because of all the problems it had caused me just like many others. However, I can now say, a year later, that the problems I was experiencing have been fixed and the app is now working seamlessly.
Hey there,

Its a must have app for me, the app works brilliantly in the way it integrates with my Merchant account.
Got my account suspended due to misrepresentation. Trying to fix it is fruitless Google won't explain the issue and Shopify hasn't a clue. Really frustrating for such a simple product and e-commerce site.
Hi there!
Paola here with Shopify! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. I completely understand where you are coming from. The Misrepresentation suspension can be frustrating and Google does not share with us further details on why they have flagged an account due to Misrepresentation - although I truly wish they did. From our end, we can only provide you guidance based on our own experience. But at the end of the day, it's totally up for Google if they will lift the suspension or not. Keep in mind that, although the Google Channel app helps you integrate your store to the Google Merchant Center, Google is still a third party platform, which means we cannot interfere with their processes.
With that being said, I will be reaching out to you through email shortly to offer all the guidance and support we can from Shopify's perspective. We want to ensure that you have the right tools for your business to succeed.
I look forward to chatting with you!

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Google channel, my name is Chris and I'd be happy to reach out to you to discuss the account specifics detailed in your review.

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
