Google & YouTube

Have to give this one star. It's like Shopify isn't even trying here. As already mentioned GTIN does not work. Barcode filled in but you still have to manually go into the Google app and then select FALSE. If you have more then 50 skus this also might not even work for you and is extremely labor intensive if you have a lot of skus. Like many shopify apps that shopify themselves build, it sucks. Fairly certain it sucks on purpose so you purchase apps.

Basically pure hell with shopify not integrating with google merchant center at all NOT THROUGH API, NOT THROUGH GOOGLE APP NOT THROUGH GOOGLE MERCHANT!!! SHOPIFY PROMOTES A GOOGLE APP- HERE https://apps--shopify--com.storefront-preview-proxy.getredo.com/google?search_id=46852b99-4046-46df-a0ca-ae8160d0357b&surface_detail=GOOGLE&surface_inter_position=1&surface_intra_position=4&surface_type=search Its really just google merchant center but its broken and mine still is stuck on 5/7 items validated and will not approve any of my products. ( NOTHING AND IM MEAN NOTHING WORKS) I have all custom products, no GTIN no MPN but no matter what I do its still will not accept my products, even when I have done everything in the documentation here
https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/160161 Ive done everything that I possibly can per the documentation to let google know its a custom product, I have even created custom meta fields, supplemental feeds etc., etc.. NOTHING WORKS. set it to false, no - nothing in the suggested documentation works. Someone else made a video not mine of course, however I feel his pain I have done all of whats in this video to no avail, This video explains what we are all going through with shopify not integrating with google merchant. and google and shopify passing the buck https://www.screencast.com/t/fHC13pVy Even when you go directly to google merchant and change the settings globally it still will not take which leads me to believe this is a shopify google marriage disaster and it DOESNT WORK! PLEASE REMOVE THE APP OR FIX IT!

Quite a poor app at this stage, throws up GTIN errors when all products have codes, can't connect to youtube channel. So far causing a lot of issues

Having problems with this App. It tells us our account is suspended, but when we check with Google they say all is fine!

Update 5 Aug. Thanks to Shopify's in-house magician Jason, it's now working for the first time ever, and it only took a few straightforward changes. Many thanks Jason! Has anyone ever managed to get an advert running via this incredibly poor app? I've tried countless times but it would honestly be easier landing my car on the moon. Why do you need to link the app, Google Merchant Centre AND Google Ads just to get this to work; which it NEVER does. Any campaign I create just sits on 'pending' FOREVER.

La app de google channel si funciona bien, pero por alguna razon tengo un problema al momento de quitar o borrar los anuncios no se borran por completo ya van como dos anuncios que e borrado pero aun me muestra que los anuncios aun siguen activos.

So I attempted this morning to add this. Two issues. First, it created a brand new account under my main google merchant center login. This is not what I wanted. I am a trusted store, have local and Buy on Google set up under my other account. Why would I want to start from scratch. The other issue is that I have sub-accounts under my main google merchant center account. It allowed me to select from them, but didn't list the actual sub-account I needed to connect to. It only listed three of the four sub-accounts I have. I have no idea why it didn't list them all. We do live shows every month and have over 85,000 followers on Youtube. I think this could be awesome if you can help me to get it to work and I would change my review to 5 stars.

Horrible app and horrible support from youtube. Successfully set up shop only to have no visible merch shelf on my videos. They told me to disconnect shop and then reconnect, which has proven to be impossible.

It's still crazy that an application developed by Shopify does not work. I installed this application and when connecting my Google account I got an error: Error 400: invalid_request

My goal was connecting YouTube shopping as our videos are the #1 source of conversion. This App is extremely frustrating. Forced me to create a new Merchant Center account rather than feed to our existing account which has worked perfectly for years. This shut down my Google Ad campaigns for a week while waiting for approval of products and various errors to patch up. Finally all connected, new Merchant Center is up and running. STILL CANNOT GET YOUTUBE TO PICKUP OUR PRODUCTS! I lost a significant amount of revenue in this transition, and it seems like Shopify isn't providing any support. There should be a litany of troubleshooting videos. Very disappointed.
