Google Customer Reviews - Not giving opt-in at checkout

Topic summary

  • Google Customer Reviews (GCR) opt-in prompt (post‑purchase survey) stopped appearing around mid‑Nov 2022 on a Shopify store using Debut, despite re-adding the code in Checkout > Additional scripts with the correct merchant ID.

  • Guidance: the provided GCR snippet is only a template and must be customized with store/order data using Shopify Liquid checkout objects. A step-by-step implementation guide was shared. Code customization is central to resolving the issue.

  • After applying the suggested code, the opt-in still does not display. One explanation offered: if a customer has previously accepted the opt-in, Google will not prompt them again.

  • Testing advice: place a real test order and wait a few weeks for the survey email; immediate on-page prompts may not show for repeat accepters.

  • Additional report: the opt-in appears only after refreshing the Thank You page for one merchant, suggesting a possible load/trigger issue.

  • Status: no confirmed fix or root cause identified. Open questions remain on why prompts stopped, how to ensure the opt-in loads on first page render, and whether further implementation changes are required.

Good day,

I could really use some assistance with this please, as I am completely stumped.

I’m using the Debut theme.

About mid November 2022 my customers stopped getting the option to opt-in to my Google Customer Reviews at checkout. Since I have gone to my google merchant center and re-copied the following code and added it to the checkout additional scripts (edited the merchant ID to reflect).

It is still not offering opt-ins after checkout.

Has something changed? Is there more to do? Anything would be helpful.

Thank you!


The code example you shared, is a template, which requires modification to fit your specific information.

Without this info Google will not be able to to send info.

You can use the checkout objects to fill out the details: https://shopify.dev/api/liquid/objects/checkout

Emmanuel,

Thank you for this. I tried your code as well and I’m still not getting the option to “Opt-In” to the Google Customer Reviews when checking out on the website.

Meaning when a customer is checked out, they are not prompted with “would you like to leave a google review once you receive your order?” This is the issue I’m having.

The only assumption would be if you already accepted it before. Google will not ask you again.

I am having this issue as well…did you find a resolution?

What did you do to test if its working?

How can I test it? I have tried checking out but same with others, it doesn’t ask me for a review.

Perform a test purchase.

Then wait a few weeks.

Mine only displays after refreshing the thank you page… Any idea why?
