User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its ability to integrate WooCommerce products with Google Merchant Center, facilitating easier marketing and boosting sales. They also commend the support team for their responsiveness and assistance with various setup issues. However, drawbacks are significant and varied. Complicated setup and integration issues, particularly with Google Ads and Merchant Center, are a common complaint. Users are frustrated by the necessity of a WordPress.com account, problematic account connections, and a lack of customization options, such as bulk editing and attribute management. Moreover, technical issues like plugin crashes, synchronization failures, and poor error messaging further contribute to user dissatisfaction.

ok. I understand you want a wordpress.com account for whatever reason. But when you do this you will have to let your users choose this wordpress account. When I installed this I noticed a wrong Email for wordpress.com. Why? Because it was reading the connection from Jetpack! What is this logic? I bet someone is breaking his head how to fix this error.

This plugin is barely usable, so many inexplicable errors with no way of rectifying or contacting support, somehow managed to create and immediately suspend a google adds account just by following prompts. Now I’m stuck and there’s literally no way to contact anyone at google about it. The Start Verification button in the site DOESN’T WORK, the phone number listed on the site is NOT CONNECTED and when you google other numbers to call them on, after entering the client number it transfers you to a different service which then tells you to look at the support site, which has no options other than Community posts full of people who have had the same issue with NO SOLUTION. What a complete joke.
