How to fix: Mismatched domains

Use the same domain as the online store URL provided in Merchant Center for your product page

Reasons why the issue is happening

This error indicates that you've included a landing page link (URL) in your product data 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 product data, you need to verify and claim the website in Merchant Center first.
The registered URL doesn’t match the links in your product data: 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, 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.

Note: Images that aren’t hosted on your registered domain can be included using the image link [image_link] attribute.
