Set The Hydrogen Storefront As Default Store Instead Of Online Store

[octave]

Hi,

IWe followed the doc setup for setting custom domains with our Hydrogen Storefront: https://shopify.dev/docs/custom-storefronts/oxygen/migrate/redirect-traffic

We assigned our customdomain.com as primary domain for our Hydrogen Storefront. And we use checkout.customdomain.com for the "Online Store" so the checkout has a custom domain. All other requests to checkout.customdomain.com that are not checkout requests are forwarded to the customdomain.com.

This works fine until we start adding third-party apps, like Google, or Facebook. What happens is that they use checkout.customdomain.com has the default domain name (I'm assuming because it's linked to "Online Store"). Which means all the requests are redirected but for Google Merchant, it's a bad practice and should be the actual domain without a redirect.

So my questions is how do we make our Hydrogen storefront domain the default url for all third-party apps instead of the "Online Store" domain?

Thats how it works right now, unfortunately. You can easily map your url in your feed to your current domain by adding feed rules in Google Merchant Center.

Thanks that's ok, we just setup feed rules!

That doesn't work for Google Merchant Center Next accounts which don't have those feed rules feature unfortunately and I've hit a brick wall trying to sync products across as a result as they all have the wrong domain from the online store. Have looked at different apps in the Shopify app store but they all seem to do the same.

In what world that feature does not exist? On every account I see you have feed rules. Look up your Shopify Feed (probably called content api or something) and apply the feed ruling

Not on Google Merchant Center Next accounts, only on classic.

Hey, @GavinBryan have you resolved the issue? I have stumbled on the same problem now, Google integration in Shopify automatically sets the "primary domain" which is store-name.myshopify.com instead of the custom domain for the custom hydrogen frontend, and I think that because of that Google is not happy and won't collect statistics. Did you end up using the feed rules? Did you have to set up the same domains of the store and in Google Merchant to make the connection work?
