@GregBernhardt4 @KyleRisley @ShopifyDevs It’s not a resource and it’s not a link I want to use. Merchants wouldn’t never use it as it’s too technical.

The wording is something like “https://t.co/H5ry2GVGRQ compatible” and “https://t.co/H5ry2GVGRQ based structured data”

I appreciate the idea though

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

LOL @ShopifyDevs is making me remove https://t.co/H5ry2GVGRQ from my app listing because it's a URL. It's also the organization's name. I'm not trying to manipulate your app listing page or anything like that. FFS

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@supremerumham @ShopifyDevs I agree with the policy as it’s intended. I also had to remove a Shopify url in one of my screenshots. But this is the governing body that sets the rules for how structured data is used. I mean it’s their name that just so happens to be a url. It’s frustrating

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@KyleRisley @ShopifyDevs I ended up doing schema dot org so we’ll see if that appeases them.

I agree with the policy the way it’s intended but this feels like overkill. Just no thought possible exceptions that are legit reasons for a URL

Here's to a year of practicing patience!

@rustybrick Looks like they are also testing moving the site name with the logo

@TRPage_dev @gilgNYC Nearly lost a client because analytics access was required just to check on their Markets settings.

Found out by turning on and off different permissions in a dev store to see what triggered the access.

I only ask for what's required, never more!

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@TRPage_dev @gilgNYC +1 came to say this. I've asked for support for this a few times. It's unclear which settings are needed as a collaborator for certain features in Shopify. For example, for some reason, Markets requires access to Reporting, which I don't "need" but it's required

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom My pleasure and glad you found the articles helpful

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley Ah yeah. So you can use the multi page variant option I linked to previously. But the analytics is the big question.

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley I know @JarnoVanDriel has set up the SD to work for tracking, but I don't think he's gone beyond that.

Analytics with SD isn't widely documented and I have not explored it myself, but I want to.

What exactly are you wanting to track in GA?

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley Shopifys combined listings shows them as one product, bue I'm not clear what you're trying to accomplish here. Are you wanting to show all the options (eg color, size, material)? If so, it's not native to Shopify. Use an app like JSON-LD for SEO or code it in yourself

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley I mean, all Shopify themes have SD, but at the level you want, you're going to either need to use an app like JSON-LD for SEO, Tag Manager (which likely requires customization too) or code it in yourself.

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley SD and Feeds work together. GMC will digest your feed and validate it with the landing page and SD. They also allow you to use the SD instead of the product feed, but it's not quite there yet.
By tracking, do you mean GA? That's a whole different animal

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@KyleRisley Bummer I meant to attend, sorry to have missed this

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley To be really clear though, in Brodie’s screenshot, showing the color in Rich Results is currently driven by the product feed for GMC, not structured data though I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes in the near future.

[Ilana Davis (she/her) Shopify Superhero @IlanaDavis]

@mag_krom @KyleRisley To go even further, you can also add custom linked data (the LD in JSON-LD) to add more context at the variant level.
