How to fix: Mismatched domains

This error indicates that you've included a landing page link (URL) in your data feed that doesn't match the domain of the URL registered in your Merchant Center account.

There are a few common reasons why you might see this error:

• You haven't registered a URL in your account: If you're including links to your website (URLs) in your feed, you must register the website's domain.
• You've registered a URL, but it doesn't match the links in your file: The links that you include in your feed must match the domain of the website that is registered in your Merchant Center account.
  
  For example, if you wanted to submit a file with URL: http://www.example.com/item1.html, you would need to register the parent website’s domain: http://www.example.com/ in your account.
  
  Learn how to change your registered website's URL. To submit feeds for more than one domain, you may request a multi-client account.
  Note: Images that are not hosted on your registered domain can be included using the image link [image_link] attribute.
