Hi,

We are changing our existing domain to a new domain.

I have installed Google Sales Channel with earlier domain.

 

What should I do?

Shall I disconnect the Google Sales Channel (associated with earlier domain) and connect it again once the website is ready with new domain? Or there is any other method?

 

I have also connected Merchant Centre, GA, Google Ads with older domain.

 

Kindly Advise,

When changing your domain in Shopify, it's essential to update your Google-related services to maintain accurate tracking and sales data. Follow the steps below to update your Google Sales Channel, Merchant Centre, Google Analytics, and Google Ads:

  1. Google Sales Channel:

    • Disconnect the Google Sales Channel associated with the earlier domain.
    • Once the new domain is live and the website is ready, reconnect the Google Sales Channel to the new domain.
  2. Google Merchant Centre:

    • Log in to your Google Merchant Centre account.
    • Go to 'Settings' > 'General.'
    • Update the 'Website' field with your new domain and save the changes.
    • You may need to re-verify your website ownership. Follow Google's instructions to complete this process.
  3. Google Analytics:

    • Log in to your Google Analytics account.
    • Navigate to 'Admin' (the gear icon at the bottom left corner).
    • In the 'Property' column, click on 'Property Settings.'
    • Update the 'Default URL' with your new domain and save the changes.
    • Update any filters or other settings that reference the old domain.
  4. Google Ads:

    • Log in to your Google Ads account.
    • Update the domain in any existing campaigns, ads, or ad extensions that reference the old domain.
    • Check and update any tracking templates or custom parameters to ensure they are using the new domain.
