• Your account type is not supported by the Google & YouTube app, like Floodlight.

1. If you want to skip account connection, click Yes, skip.
2. Add custom Google Ads conversion (or Floodlight) destinations to receive data from the specified Shopify events
   • For Ads, enter the AW-CONVERSION_ID/CONVERSION_LABEL string found in your event snippet

• Make sure you remove your legacy tags to avoid duplicate tagging.
• Check that you don’t have duplicate tags if you have conversions in the Google & YouTube app and in the storefront or custom pixel
