Hello UserS220, thank you for joining the Shopify AMA, my name is Emmanuel from FeedArmy and I will be your host for today’s questions.

The shopify tags via the google and youtube app (assuming this is what you meant), is to track both Google Analytics and Google Ads, as well as free listings for Google Merchant Center.

The Google Merchant Center tag, is only for free listings.

So if you have tracking enabled using the google and youtube app, and GA4 is setup. You can link it here: https://merchants.google.com/mc/linkedaccounts/integrations
