What merchants think

Feedback submitted

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.

The worst. Just use Google Merchant Center. Products stuck in pending status for months. It is useful to sync but that's about it.

Hi Mystic World Finds, firstly, thank you for sharing this feedback. I will also email you directly to see if I can help. This could have occurred if a few aspects are not present on your products, for example the product category or a unique product identifier such as a barcode (GTIN).

You should get an email from me soon and I'll discuss this further, thank you.

Installing this app is the worst thing one can do to his/her online shop. It is inexcusable that this app is provided by Shopify and there is a complete lack of support in dealing with all the issues created by the app. The only support I received was to be directed to Google support. If you have the "unsupported version" of this app, keep it. To save yourself frustrations and money, do not install the new one.

Only allowed me to create a product feed for Canada, so I manually created product feeds for every country in Merchant Center. Then the app re-submitted products that were already active, messing up all my Google Ads campaigns.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. This is actually expected behaviour as you can only target one country (determined by the currency in which your Shopify account is set to.) with the Google Shopping app. We’re always working to improve the way our apps work, so I’ve followed up with you via email to log your feedback for our development team. -Emma, Shopify Support

Great app. If you know how to use this. This app will create automatic google feed which you can use for google shopping. So easy and useful. Highly recommend to all. You can get more help from Google staff and its easy for them as well when you use this app to creat a feed. Somehow it still shows pending status on app but google has confirmed that all products are listed. Something they need to see why it shows pending but in fact its already been approved. Other than that all good.

This ain't it chief. It truly astounds me that Google can't even build a functioning integration with Shopify without breaking your Google Merchant account. It's even more astounding that there are plenty of independent teams that can build something that not only works, but works extremely well

Doesn't work. SHAME ON YOU SHOPIFY FOR WASTING ALL MY TIME! After 2 weeks products still pending. Started campaign that was supposed to be for 7 days only, but still "Running" after 2 weeks. Google ads shows that campaign is "enabled". Took me a few days to correct my site so that ads are all approved by Google, but STILL NO CAMPAIGN RUNNING. What a WASTE OF TIME. After MUCH WASTED MONEY and 22 months later, finally realizing that Shopify is a scam!

Works great just wish I could make the Google shopping product id match my sku instead of that huge shopify id.

All the people with 1 star review really need to learn how to follow instructions. And email support was quick and friendly although I did solve my own issue as to why my feed was stuck in pedning which was in the merchant center feed section I didn't have shopping actions check marked

Products show up as pending even though they've been approved in my Merchant Account. There was an error with the initial sync which google fixed at their end. Overall, this doesn't seem to be a very slick app.

Terrible app, product feeds showing errors even though all relevant fields are filled in correct. No support that I can find & support pages just have going round in circles.
