Google and YouTube Channel - Invalid store name/ Policy violations

I have been trying to link my Shopify store with my Google Merchant account. However, I get the message that this can't be done because of an invalid store name. There are also issues with Google Merchant, which tells me that there are policy violations.

 

I have tried everything I can think of to clear these errors. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

This is an accepted solution.

I managed to fix it, I changed my business name in the merchant center to read exactly as the url. Example by store is called Sandwich Bar but I looked and on the url after shopify in admin it was actually called sandwhichbarltd. I used that as the business name and it worked. All one word.

I don't think I follow...do you mean your "shopify admin" url? 
I looked at mine and it's "fitbody-lohre" which is NOT what I want to show up in Google. I want it named FITBODY.com.

Any suggestions to get this right?
