### <mark style="color:$info;">**Status**</mark>

This field shows the connection status between your Google Merchant store and LitCommerce.

The feature adds tags to your product URLs for tracking traffic source, campaign, and ad performance for Google Shopping. They provide detailed insights in Google Analytics, helping you identify which shopping ads or products generate the most conversions.

Enter a suitable value in each field below:

* **Campaign:** Identifies a specific ad campaign. For example: `holiday_sale`, `summer_promo`.

* **Medium:** Identifies the method or pathway that led a buyer to your website. For example: `shopping`, `paid_search`.

* **Source:** Identifies where the traffic came from. For example: `google_shopping`.

The product URL will be formatted based on your input. Here is an example of how it will appear once applied:

[`https://www.yourstore.com/products/cupcake-apron?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=holiday_sale`](https://www.yourstore.com/products/cupcake-apron?utm_source=google_shopping\&utm_medium=paid_search\&utm_campaign=holiday_sale)

{% hint style="info" %}
**The setting only applies to new listings added to the LitCommerce Google Merchant channel following the configuration. To apply the setting to existing listings, use `Update To Google Merchant`.**
{% endhint %}

By default, selected listings remain checked after bulk actions. Enable this setting to automatically clear selections to prevent duplicate actions.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Create on Main Store**</mark>

If your Main Store has multiple warehouse locations, select one warehouse to **Create on Location**. This will update stock in a selected warehouse when creating listings from Google Merchant to the Main Store.
