Survey Opt-In Module Troubleshooting

This article describes some common errors that you might encounter when implementing the survey opt-in module.

On this page


The opt-in module is not visible

If the opt-in module is not visible on your order confirmation page, look for the following possible sources of problems:

Problem

Diagnosis

The HTML code source does not contain the opt-in module code

View the HTML source in your browser and check that exactly one instance of the opt-in module code block appears on the page.

The opt-in module is off-screen or blocked by other elements

The module might be rendered beyond the boundaries of the viewable area. Try scrolling.

Your browser is unsupported

Your browser must support HTML 5. Update it to the latest version.

E-commerce platform integration

Some e-commerce platforms may have compatibility issues. Reach out to your e-commerce provider to understand implementation options.

Confirmation page on a different domain

If your checkout process uses a third-party processor, it must redirect back to a confirmation page on your domain.

Opt-in module code added to Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager currently can not be used for the opt-in code integration.


The page encounters JavaScript errors

The following table lists common sources of issues with the opt-in module's JavaScript:

Problem

Diagnosis

Placeholder values

Replace the placeholder with your site-specific, dynamic values.

A required parameter is missing

When implementing the opt-in module code, the following modules are required:

  • merchant_id
  • order_id
  • email
  • delivery_country
  • estimated_delivery_date

DOCTYPE must be HTML 5

Be sure that your order confirmation page uses the HTML 5 DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html>

estimated_delivery_date is invalid

The date must be in the format YYYY-MM-DD, where YYYY is the 4-digit year, MM is the 2-digit month, and DD is the 2-digit day. The value is a string and must be surrounded by quotation marks. For example, "2016-09-13".

opt_in_style is invalid

The value of the opt_in_style parameter can be one of the following strings:

  • "CENTER_DIALOG"
  • "BOTTOM_RIGHT_DIALOG"
  • "BOTTOM_LEFT_DIALOG"
  • "TOP_RIGHT_DIALOG"
  • "TOP_LEFT_DIALOG"
  • "BOTTOM_TRAY"

Website not using HTTPS

All confirmation pages must use HTTPS.

Mismatched website URL

The opt-in module code must be implemented on the same website URL as the one verified and claimed in Merchant Center. This issue typically generates a 404 javascript error.


Survey not received

Problem

Diagnosis

Incorrect email address

Ensure that you're passing correctly formatted email addresses into the module, otherwise, the survey emails will not be delivered correctly.

Incorrect country codes

Ensure that you're passing correct country codes into the opt-in module. This value must be in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format. If incorrect country codes are passed, no error will be generated, but the survey will not be sent.

Not enough time has passed

Ensure that the ESTIMATED_DELIVERY_DATE for the order has passed. Customers who opt-in to the survey receive an email that asks them to rate their experience in a few days after the estimated delivery date that you included for the order in the survey opt-in module.

Additionally, the information shown in Merchant Center graphs can be delayed up to one week.
