Google Ads purchase conversion action is misconfigured
Google Ads reports purchases that do not line up with Shopify orders.
Why it matters
Smart Bidding optimizes toward the primary conversion action; a wrong or duplicated action misdirects spend.
How to fix it
- In Google Ads, open Goals → Conversions → Summary and list every action in the Purchase category.
- Keep one primary purchase action per source (for example the Google & YouTube app), and set others to secondary.
- Set purchase actions to count Every conversion (not One), and send the Shopify order id as the transaction id.
- Confirm enhanced conversions and the transaction id are enabled so Google can deduplicate.
