Runs slow, hard to navigate. Otherwise does what it states. Product approval incredibly slow. https://highzer0electronics.com/

UPDATE: I just received an email from a google saying that I owe $389 for Ads that I have already uninstalled only 2 days after deactivating and uninstalling it. It’s still running in the background and I’m unaware of it! Shopify who by the way is the one responsible for making it available for its customers is now saying that uninstalling it from shopify will not deactivate the Ad. Say what? So they provide a third party app that we can’t uninstall within the admin section just like with any other apps they partner with? So now I’m screwed!! WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL AT ALL!! Free to install. Sure, just like with any other rip off marketing apps out there except Bing Ads. Ever since I uninstalled this app my store’s sales dropped tremendously to a point of 0 sales which is impossible. Not like I have Sales through their ads my sales was all from organic search and return customers. $28 sales from their ads in 2 days and $20 fees in 1 day even when I set my daily budget to $5!! I may have to hire a web tech to totally sweep my store and remove all their script and codes and make sure you do not sync your google account with any services they offered. I regret installing this app. You’ve been warned.

As others have said, do not install, everything is left up to google to decide and will just cost you a lot of money.

The App works as far as we can see- the main issue is with B2B as Shopify do not support B2B's showing prices ex vat. So there is a solution using Merchant centre rules. You will need to create a Rule in the Google Merchant centre. Sign into Google Merchant Centre and go to Products then Feeds and click on your feed name. At the top select Rules. Click on Create Rule and search for Price within the pop-up box and select it. Price not Sale price On the Edit Rule screen click on Conditions under Edit source. Type Price and then select the value for your Price under the Feed Attributes heading at the bottom. From the contains drop down select is greater than and then add 0 in the Type Click on the Set to box below and select your Feed- with Shopify this is an API. The next step is add a price modification and so click Add Modification. Select Advanced operators (4th box with dots) and then Calculate. From the Arithmetic operator drop drown choose Multiply By x and enter 1.2 and click on the value in the Applied Value box. Once you have done this select Save as Draft and then click Test Changes This takes between 10-20 minutes- when done Test it and you are happy with new Feed-so prices increase by 20% and all good click apply. Changes take 2 hours plus to take effect in Merchant centre-they state.

Seems to work...but it doesn't show any of the sales attributed to it in the 'Sales by Channel' on the Shopify Home page. Which is funny, because in the app it clearly tells you how much you sold using Google Shopping.

........terrible app. Couldn't even get past the first page. I dont usually review apps but my god this one was terrible.

Google expects prices inc tax, this app can't cope if your store uses tax exclusive pricing. Used to work, has been "improved" by Shopify.

By mistake I installed this app, it created a lot problems for me, it blocked another app that was performing well. And even after removing it since 3 weeks ago my products have BIG ZERO with shopping campaign i run through the original one. Big number of negative reviews and still shopify maintain it on the list. Support line and escalated team are not able to help me at all.

Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Pending. Denied.

Get rid of this app as soon as possible. Our Adwords account never recovered when we updated this app. It didn't matter what I did to our campaigns, I couldn't get our products to consistently show up. It would even show a 'product ID' missing in our feed. Are you kidding me? This update cost us $40K a month in business. Last ditch effort was to delete the app. I installed a different Google feed app and immediately saw an improvement. Once the sync updated on Adwords our products began to show up again.

Not sure why so many give it a poor review. With a little tweaking, to my listings all is well. Making a spreadsheet for this purpose is a nightmare.

Great idea. Very bad execution. It was not clear that starting a new Google Shopping Campaign will OVER-RIDE your existing shopping campaign. For 2 weeks our TOP performing shopping campaign was not delivering because this APP prevented it. This APP NEEDS A LOT of improvement for shopify store owners. It might be great for some that don't have the slightest clue of how to get started with Google Shopping Ads but I can tell you first hand this APP leaves a lot to be desired. For one you are unable to set any sort of Target ROAS. You are unable to run any bid adjustments on specific devices and the conversion reporting is questionable. If you want to know why this APP has ONLY 1 STAR install it and find out for your self.

It takes way more than 3-5 days for Google to approve ads. Shopify you should take down that claim if Google wont honor it. Dont bother contacting Shopify for support they will just refer you to Google then Google will refer you back to Shopify. Also atleast for me having hard time changing to manual bidding. Automatic bidding has robbed me with no conversions.

I've been running Google Merchant with Shopify 2+ yrs, A-OK. Uninstalled Merchant, deleted campaign, added this app'... now regretting it. Two weeks later and I still can't get Google Merchant working. Shopify are in the throws of trying to fix, but I'm getting nowhere. Now one week before Black Friday...

We tried this app even with the one star reviews it received. It wouldn't connect to our Google Account.

I hooked up my account with no issues. The issue I am having is the products are still pending for over a week? Thats a long time to PAY for advertising. What am I paying for? Ok there is a wait for 3 to 5 business days. Its been over a week? Sorry for the impatience, but time is money. I contacted google a few times with no response.

This App has to much automation and was total waste of time trying to go through the setup to even get it up an running, so I wouldn't recommend spending any of your money utilizing this app for marketing!

Absolute garbage of an app. Wouldn’t update anything in the merchant centre and constantly crashing. Don’t waste your time!

This app is from Shopify! I don't understand why they make such app that is not working ?? useless App!

If you want to burn money and get no results this is the ideal app to use. There is no control over spending and had to switch if off quick after $300+ spend in a couple of days. TOTALLY CRAP..........

It seems that this app doesn't send barcode(gtin) to merchant center. They only send brand and MPN, but some products required Barcode, and this app doesn't send it to merchant center. Really useless.

This app didn't send all the required information to Google Merchant Central. Most of my products was disapproved. Really a useless app.

I gave it ONE STAR only because they will not accept a review with ZERO stars. ******* Tried Google PPC ads in 2013; ended up spending over $1000 and got ZERO sales from it. OK, so it's 5 years later & everything is different; try again-after spending $249 across 3 weeks, it generated about $0.22 in sales for every $1 spent. This is a formula for ROCKETING to the poorhouse! Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice? OK, so I've finally learned. NEVER AGAIN!

The old app worked perfect. This app slowly removed all of our products over a week since updating. So many lost sales.

The old google shopping app was removed and replaced with this app. You can no longer select products to feed over to google merchant center by collection. It pushes you into using a smart shopping campaign which may not be best if you need a custom campaign and only market to certain states. You can no longer search for a specific product in the products area. you can no longer "push" your products into google merchant center. Overall this app sucks compared to the old one and am trying to find a different option to use moving forward which really stinks because November and December are big sales months for our industry and I should not have to make changes to my online advertising and find new avenues this time of year, I should be already set up... like I was.. on the old app.
