How to setup Google Shopping for a shopify headless store?

I had an existing non-Shopify website where I was not selling anything. I have connected a “checkout” subdomain to Shopify and I use that for the checkout.

I only have a single product, so I have a customized product page built with my existing stack with a cart permalink for when the user wants to go to checkout. I’ve also set up Google’s Merchant Listing structured data on my product page ( How To Add Merchant Listing Structured Data | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google for Developers ).

I have not started running any ads but I do not know how could I set up conversion tracking, which happens across two subdomain (www and checkout). One which is under my full control and one which is handled by Shopify?

What’s the best practice in this case? Or do I maybe ignore if the user actually completes the purchase and just track the click on the button that directs the user to checkout?

For reference, this is my product page: Smart Hand Grip Dynamometer DEXDIA GX - Dexterity Diagnostics (Clicking on “Order you DEXDIA GX” redirects you to the “checkout” subdomain which is connected to Shopify).

Hello user1385, thank you for your question and for joining the Shopify AMA. My name is Emmanuel, founder of FeedArmy, and your host for today’s AMA.

If you are using Google Tag Manager you can enable cross domain tracking, this feature will be automatically suggested after a few days when you install tracking.

If you want you can use my free code here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp4QQj4Blbs

But I would ensure that both the product landing page and the checkout are on the same TLD so top level domain. It’s ok to use subdomains, but avoid using completely different domain names.

You can update shopify to use a domain name of your choosing.
