The interface has changed a bit on both the Google & KZfaq app and now google merchant center is pushing a mandatory update this month on the 22nd. It's hard to keep up. I was able to connect a google merchant account to Shopify but now none of the products are approved because it says there is missing shipping information. :( In any case, I will subscribe to your channel because as others have said your videos are very clear and easy to follow and help inform what to do even if things have changed.

Thanks a lot Stewart for the fantastic video. Something I'm still confused about is whether it's needed to copy some code from Google Tag Manager as some videos about GA4 first do that part, what's your advice? Thanks in advance.

Welcome! If you are using Google Tag then yes you will need to install that.

@@StewartGauld I have the code from Google Tag Manager at the moment because I followed a video indicating that so I was under the impression that it was mandatory but then I found your video which doesn't mention Google Tag Manager so I assume that there are cases where it's needed and other cases where it is not, this is basically what I'd like to know.

What will happen if you connect the property without removing the code that was placed before? Does that mess up the data being collected in some way? My Google Analytics property was already connected but I'm interested in using the Google app integration in Shopify. Thanks to whoever can answer.

@StewartGauld 10 ай бұрын

It's best practice to remove the old code for GA4 and use the app method showen in this video. This will eliminate possible issues in the future.

@@StewartGauld never I am new to Shopify, so there was no code I had to remove beforehand. The problem is probably caused by the fact that there ist a password on my shop since I am currently in the pause and build plan. Was quite difficult to figure that out when you don't know if it is a shopify or google issue.

@andrewharbert5638 Жыл бұрын

Does anyone know how we can track someone specifically? We have a link that directs people to shopify, but they might use a different email on their Shopify account than what we have, so is there a way to direct them to Shopify with a tracking id and capture it with their actions on Shopify with Google Analytics or anything? Can't really find any information on this.

Have had problem with google channel and trying to connect GMC through shopify. Ended up with problems like many other shop owners. Using the google app, will we be required to fill on gtin, mtn, etc on the app as we want to avoid at all cost now? Horrible reviews as well on the google and youtube app. We just want to view analytics on our store admin. Please advice.

@StewartGauld Жыл бұрын

What is your goal with the GMC?

@allmamalove Жыл бұрын

@StewartGauld It was to list our products on the free listing on google shopping. But shopify convinced store owners to connect with little to no instructions and did not give the option to select specific products. This caused major issues with GMC when we first opened our store. They provided little to no help. Don't want to go through that again. They did state it will not connect to the merchant center, which probably concerned many. But want to ensure it does not affect us again with future requirements!

Hello, In my theme.liquid file, I deleted the code for google analytics, (and for UA too) but I still have one code snippet for Google tag manager and another for gtag.js Google ads, Should I delete those too? Also the code in settings>checkout>order... I have code for Google ads, Google tag manager data layer and google tag manager. Thanks a lot!!

@StewartGauld Жыл бұрын

If you have setup your account with Google ads and the Google Tag manager that way then it should still work. Don't change the setup unless it stops working.
