Google Ads Conversion Tag Firing Failed
Hi Guys, I'm desperate, please, any suggestions are welcome :) Around early December 2024, something happened with Google Tag Manager. Now, Google Ads conversion actions show the "failed" status even though the tag fires in theory. Take a look at the screen; the same conversion event fires in GA4 but fails in GTM. I checked almost everything there is to check: 1. GTM works and is integrated with the website correctly 2. Incognito mode, different browsers tested 3. No additional consent required checked in the tag settings 4. Triggers are ok 5. Conversion ID and label are the same as in GAds 6. GAds tag installed in GTM Up until a few days ago, I thought this was a cookie banner issue, but now I'm experiencing this issue with a website that doesn't have a cookie banner yet. Plus, this conversion action has been working fine up until very recently, I didn't change anything in the tag or website settings. 2 more observations: 1. When I test this event in GTM Assistant in a different browser, at first, it fires correctly, but the second attempt results in the failed status 2. GAds seem to be counting these conversions either way, but I'm afraid that it can adversely affect the counting at some point. I did some research (actually, a lot of research...) and I found this thread: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/thread/311624206/help-needed-google-ads-conversion-tag-firing-failed?msgid=314381661 I have the exact same problem, 44 people voted they have the same question, and all the replies are like "me, too!". No one seems to know the reason, let alone the solution... Is there any chance any of you have encountered this issue and know how to fix it? Or should I move with conversion tracking entirely to GA4...? Thanks in advance! Mike

@Mike Zoladkowski Google Ads conversion tracking is failing in Tag Manager preview mode but works when using the __gcl_id in the conversion linker tag, it likely means that the preview mode isn't correctly capturing the necessary click information from the ad URL, which is usually stored in the gclid parameter, due to potential cookie blocking or privacy settings in the preview environment; by using the conversion linker, you are actively setting a first-party cookie that can be accessed by the conversion tag, bypassing the preview mode limitations. Key points to consider: Cookie restrictions in preview mode: Tag Manager preview mode might have stricter cookie settings that prevent the necessary "gclid" cookie from being set, which is crucial for tracking conversions in Google Ads. Conversion Linker bypasses issues: By using the __gcl_id in the conversion linker tag, you are essentially creating a first-party cookie that can be read by the conversion tracking tag, even if the preview mode is blocking third-party cookies.

Any help with Google Tag/Enhanced Conversions on Shopify?
The source of my conversion tracking on Google Ads has been GA4. In order to get better tracking data, and to implement enhanced conversion tracking, I set up a Google tag on our Shopify site, run through Tag Manager. It's inactive and troubleshooting shows it's not firing. Am I better off removing everything and starting over from scratch, as opposed to troubleshooting the tag that's not firing? If so, any leads on a tutorial to do it right? I've spent a lot of hours on this, Google offers no support, and the frustration level is high. Any help would be celebrated with a parade, unicorns and rainbows.

@Dave Christie If you couldnโ€™t solve it, I can help you fix this. How many events do you need, such as purchase, begin_checkout, add_to_cart, etc.?
