How to create a GTM account & find your Container ID

Your GTM Container ID looks like GTM-XXXXXXX and is required in General Settings for both the Do-It-Yourself and Guided Setup paths. If you do not have a Google Tag Manager account yet, create one first — the steps below walk through the whole flow, then show where the Container ID lives.

Create a Google Tag Manager account & container

1. Go to tagmanager.google.com and sign in with your Google account, then click Create Account.
2. Enter an Account Name (your business/store name), pick your Country, enter a Container Name (your website domain), and set the Target Platform to Web. Click Create.

3. Review the Google Tag Manager Terms of Service and click Yes (top-right) to accept.

4. The workspace opens and your Container ID (GTM-XXXXXXX) is shown at the top of the page, next to the container name. Copy it — this is the value the extension needs.

Where the Container ID goes

Paste it into Stores → Configuration → Webkul → Google Tag Manager Configuration → General → GTM Container ID, then save and flush the cache. The Head and Body snippets are generated from it automatically — see General Settings.

Import the exported container (Guided Setup)

If you used Guided Setup and downloaded a container from Container Export, import it into GTM so your tags are pre-wired:

1. In GTM, open the Admin tab from the top navigation and click Import Container.

2. Choose the container file you downloaded from the extension. Set Workspace to New and the Import Option to Overwrite, then click Confirm.

3. Back in the workspace, click Submit (top-right).

4. Select Publish and Create Version, enter a Version Name (and optional description), and click Publish.

5. GTM confirms the container is live. Your tags are now published.
