Reviews for Google & YouTube

I don't like the fact that the number of products is limited to 10,000. I sell tools. I have nearly triple that amount of SKU's.

Great app once you have it up and running. Make sure you have it selected on Product availability, UPC and SKU filled ing and your good to go.

We were told wait 4 weeks and once google started collecting results from traffic we would see the impressions start to increase, 6 weeks in with a commitment of $50 per day, and no results! Very poor app for Google to put their name to it, and not be hands on to fix the issues considering the power of Shopify stores. I think the number of 1 star reviews tells the story. Hate leaving bad reviews. Cheers John www.Hellodrinks.com.au Online Liquor Retailer Buy Now Pay Later

The best marketing channel I have ever used. It bring sells and shows my products next to the market leaders on Google Shopping.

I am shocked that this app has any bad reviews- it is free, gives you the ability to set up a smart shopping campaign that is also free, and generates ten times the revenue that any of the "google adwords specialists" that I paid thousands of dollars to ever did. Remarkably easy to set up, and has generated excellent sales in our first month that cost a fraction of what I was paying per conversion! Love it!

nice, use it daily, will keep using it. google is the best when it come to shopping online, so why not work with google?!

We are a doll etailer. We have two sites, one on Shopify. We have always (15 years) advertised with Google, 1st with PPC text ads, then display, then shopping and now Smart Shopping. Basically Google Shopping is a way to 'buy traffic.' It works for us really well, but I believe it's because we had so many years experience before hand. The good thing about the app is its integration with the store; it is incredibly easy to put products into the feed, easy to use analytics to see if it's working for you. The bad thing is that unless you really understand how Smart Shopping works, you can have significant negative ROI very quickly. Yes, you buy traffic, but you buy it for more than they buy from you. So our advice is use the app but: pick your best selling products only - not your whole store (do you really have to advertise red tee shirts and blue tee shirts?), go to the web and search for your products and see who is next to you in the ads and what their price is, only put into your daily and monthly 'budget' what you can afford to lose, and study your analytics carefully. Our current (Xmas 2018) ROI is $5 for every $1 spent. Our budget is $20 per day. There are days google doesn't spend our whole budget.

Tragic app, previous version was much better

This app has worked amazingly well for my store. Once installed it is easy to choose which products to list on shopping. I found out to optimize the SEO title which is what will show in Google. I've made over $3 for every $1 spent so far so I'm very happy. I would wish though if it was easy to see which particular products are getting the clicks so that I can optimize what products I list. I cant really tell minus what is actually selling.

Adding the Google Shopping channel has been the game changer in our business. The majority of our leads come from Google Shopping. The app is easy to use and you can add products very easily I would recommend considering Google Shopping if you are looking to bring you business to the next level.

useless and not working, I tried everything but products pending, therefore it will kill your business.

Fantastic integration, simple to install. Launched shopping campaign in less than a minute and immediately saw results. In first 45 days, generated over $8K in sales on $1500 spend.

It would be nice if VAT could be configured. AFAIK is not possible to export price including VAT (required in some countries)

We are getting excellent results with this app! I love how it makes things easier AND gets great results!

We use the Google Shopping App to publish our products easily and accurately on the Google Shopping platform. It makes it easy to list our Dash Cam products an increase exposure on the platform. Another 'must have' app. - www.linelink.com.au - Linelink Online - The Dash Cam Specialists

I used this app to get my products onto Google shopping. It helped my site to get noticed by comparing product directly. Simple and no fuss. Great if you want things handled and not care how.

The app works well, but please can you get autocomplete categories in so we don't have to remember category numbers each time we add a product.

Loads of issues setting it up and almost gave up on the whole thing. Eventually once I got it going it's good but the functionality is limited compared to using your adwords account.

We are seeing absolutely amazing results from using this app. We set it up a couple months ago and it was not performing well but with the new integration we are seeing great results.

I have used better apps - the set up can be quite confusing and take some time. The shipping configuration can be confusing and you often have to add some exclusions for free shipping and / or weight based shipping and request a manual review if the site is still coming up with errors in Google Merchant Centre. With that said, once you have overcome these hurdles, Google Shopping opens up another sales avenue that not everybody has access to (due to the effort / technical knowledge it can take to get the account set up correctly).

Cannot get any products accepted by the Google Shopping app, ZERO help available. 10 day "review" period has elapsed and no products have been approved. I would not recommend this app, the process for listing on Google is very, very complicated, IMHO.

This app is drastically flawed as is the logic behind it. I wouldn't recommend using it. Go for one of the paid apps with a good rating, it will worth every cent. We used this free app for a number of weeks and only had half of our products approved by Google because the GTIN was missing despite them being entered in Shopify. Shopify support told us to delete the MPN as this was the primary identifier the app sends to Google if both the GTIN and MPN exist. This is flawed. Google's primary identifier is the GTIN so this is the identifier that the app should be sending as the priority, not the MPN. So we switched to another app we use on another site and within hours, all of the products were approved by Google with no changes to product data whatsoever. Shopify should be way better than this and this app is damaging to the Shopify brand.

Pretty terrible. Bad UI, complicated where it shouldn't be(the interface, getting around, setting things up) and not complex enough where it should be ( sale settings, options, product management)
