I’m Ani, the Product Manager, and I have some sad news. Although we’ve been integrated with Google Product Search (formerly known as Froogle) for several years now, we’ve decided to break off our relationship with it for now.
If you’ve been a long time Google Product Search user, you’ve probably experienced some hiccups with it in the past. We’ve tried to work through these issues again and again, but the situation just doesn’t seem to be stabilizing.
Maybe it’s because Google Product Search is still marked as a Beta product. This means that it’s not the final version, but it’s close enough to show in public and work the bugs out. We hope that in the future it will get better and that we’ll want to re-integrate, but for the time being, it’s just not working out.
For some reason, it seems that this product just doesn’t get as much attention from Google as the rest of their products do. If they don’t support it, then we can’t make it work and that’s not fair to you, our customers. We want you to have as much faith in our website builder as we do, and if one of our features is regularly breaking, then that’s not going to happen.
We want you to know that we’re as disappointed in this outcome as you are, but we know that we’ll all be better off for now. That said, if there comes a time when Google Product Search is back on track and we’re certain that we’ll be able to offer you a feature that’s useful and stable, we’ll be happy to partner up again.
Ani.
