The Solution:

If you are getting this error then there are troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve this issue.

  • View your page source code. Search for "GTM" (for mac users: Command + F) to see if any matches. If there are matches, check that there is not any trailing spaces in front of your GTM ID.
    • (See Figure 2)
  • If there are, then go into the app settings in the Shopify Admin by clicking on the "Settings" button or gear icon in the lower left-hand corner of the page. Next remove the whitespace and click on the "Save and Update" button.

The Solution:

If you are getting this error on the thank you page, then you can safely ignore this.

This recommendation comes from Google; however, we are unable to control the

placements on the thank you page, as this aligns with standard Shopify behavior. Thus far, we have not observed any impact on conversion tracking.


GoogleAds tags are empty or null:

If you are testing your tags while GTM is in preview mode and find that all of your tags are undefined/null, and the dataLayer appears empty in preview mode, double-check whether the Elevar app embed has been enabled on your live theme. You can find this option in your theme customizations within Shopify.

If the issue persists, you may be missing the closing tag in your theme. You can confirm this by searching your theme for the 'body' tag and checking if you can find the closing tag version.
