Merchants say this app is highly useful for launching and growing stores. It’s described as easy to install, with quick, reliable syncing to Google Merchant Center, Ads, Analytics, and YouTube—even for large catalogs. Many highlight time saved on feed management and ad setup, better visibility and organic traffic, and clearer performance tracking. Some report strong results when pairing it with Google AI and Shopify Sidekick.

Absolutely awful. The instructions are unreliable and WRONG. Does NOT automatically pick up the variant SKU, even though this content is correctly added in the native MPN field of Shopify *and* in the additional custom field that Google Merchant Center added for MPN. No customization rules beyond overly simple options for title and description. Totally useless if you actually want to sell products on Merchant Center. This is yet another garbage piece of software made by Google. Literally a waste of time.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. You will want to add either the GTIN to the "barcode" field or utilize the "MPN" field if there is no GTIN. That should solve your problem. If you continue to have questions, please feel free to contact our support team at https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app
IT's now 2 Months that we've tried to use this Apps. Google Merchant still declined us with : "Account suspended due to policy violation: Misrepresentation" without helping us out to identify the problem.
They send a Generic email very vague and useless to identify the issue.
We were expecting a deep more and integrated solution. But sound it is not!
Since the installation of this App, we've published on EBAY and AMAZON all our 600 products without any issues with another App!

Won't sync with Shopify at all. There's this transparent overly in shopify admin that prevents ticking boxes and interacting with this app. And now after reading other reviews I see that it may become even more of a nightmare if it ever does sync. After spending all night trying to get answers as to why I cant even get through the 'set up' phase of this app in shopify, and then reading about all the issues others are having, I cant trust it. With hundreds of products in my store, its too risky, especially when there is absolutely no customer support.

Terrible user experience because there are no explanations OR the reasons do not make sense to the user. Lack of clarity as to whether information is required or optional. No explanation as to how my store is helped by providing i9nformation in many cases.
Hi there! We are sorry to hear the Google & YouTube app has not lived up to your expectations so far. We have noted your feedback and will share it with the relevant teams. We are also excited about some upcoming improvements within the app that should address this feedback; look out for that in early 2024!

Our Shopify Google App's conversion tracking has been inactive for 4 days, disrupting our ad campaign assessments. The app is also conflicting with our manual tracking code, a common issue per customer reviews and community discussions. We've opened a case two days ago with no response. Urgently seeking resolution. Contact us ASAP.
Hello and thank you for your feedback! We were able to look up your case with support and see that they have responded and are working with you to troubleshoot. We hope we are able to get you a resolution shortly. We do apologize for any delays and will be sure to share this experience with the relevant teams.
Due to your product problem, the product ID in GA4 in our Google Analytics is displayed abnormally. Most of the product SKUs display the product digital code in the shopify backend. I hope you can fix this bug.
Hello and thanks for the feedback. We will be sure to pass this along to our product team as we are always looking for ways to improve. We do have a support team trained on analytics standing by to help. You can reach them through this link: https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app
The absolute worst experience with this app, it is incredibly frustrating. "Mismatched Currency In Shipping Information" has been plaguing us for 48 hours. All currency is USD, shipping currency is USD, I even shut off international markets and disabled geolocation to no avail. The worst part is, 900 products are approved, and a few hundred random ones are not, and the ones that aren't keep changing (day by day, some errors will disappear, and new ones will pop up).
Contacted Google support about the issue and how to fix and their response was literally "You need to fix this or we will disable your account on December 7th". Truly insane, especially with the amount we spend on Google Ads every month.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave the detailed feedback. First, I am sorry your support experience didn't meet your expectations. I have also noted your feedback around confusion in setting up shipping settings. I will pass both pieces of feedback to our support and product teams as we are constantly looking to improve in these areas.
We did just add two new shipping articles to our help center which may be of help to you and others:

Thank you again for the thoughtful feedback and rest assured we will pass it along to the team.
It took me a while to work it out but I eventually got there. I manage to have 80% of my products approved in 12 hours.
Great, hopefully this will mean more conversions(sales).
This app isn't working very well it is not reflecting what my Shopify store shows. My shipping delivery days are between 3-5 days, Google shows 11-12 days and is not way to fix it.
Hi there and thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. A few things to double check to ensure we are syncing your shipping settings properly. In the "Settings" tab within the app you will want to make sure "Automatically import shipping settings" is enabled. Then as long as you've configured rates or backup rates (if using a realtime checkout calculator) we can sync it.
Hopefully this helps but if you still need assistance, please feel free to contact us at: https://support.google.com/merchants/contact/shopify_3p_support_app
So far it has been easy to setup and I look forward to figuring out how it will help sales in my online shop.
However, I do think a bit of UX design in the diagnostics area might help? For example, if I try to dig in deeper it looks like a spreadsheet but I cannot tell what the fields pertain to. Maybe there is a way to make a diagnostic tool to help people solve the issues specifically in bulk?
