In order to manage your products on Google, you’ll need a Google Merchant Center account.

UltraCart is unable to diagnose issues with the Google integrations.

Question: I am attempting to verify my Google Merchant Center Account, but I am getting an error that the google analytics and tag manager scripts are rendering outside of the head. How can I resolve this issue to get verified?

Answer: UltraCart renders the Google scripts lower in the page so they do not hold up the first paint. The scripts work correctly where they render, but Merchant Center cannot verify you through them. Use the ‘Add an HTML tag or file’ verification option instead:

Add verification HTML tag to storefront for Google Merchant verification.

Google runs one verification service across Search Console and Merchant Center, so a token you add for either one satisfies both. Google Search Console verification covers the two routes that work on a StoreFront: a DNS TXT record, or a verification file placed in the File Manager. Either verifies your Merchant Center account.

Once the record or the file is in place, return to your Google account and click the ‘Verify your online store’ button.
